South Korean power equipment maker Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction Ltd will invest Rs 1,000 crore for setting a boiler manufacturing plant in India, power minister Sushilkumar Shinde said on Thursday.‘‘Doosan has purchased land in the Haryana and started work on setting up a boiler manufacturing plant,’’ the power minister said.
‘‘This facility would produce equipment to aid generation of around 3,000 mw every year,’’ he said, adding that the new manufacturing facility will be useful as India is aiming to scale up its power equipment manufacturing capacity to over 30,000 mw per annum.
Shinde said that with the ramping up of domestic power equipment manufacturing, India would soon be an exporting country. On new power generation capacity, he said, ‘‘We have added 9,785 mw so far during this fiscal and in the remaining period of over two months in 2010-11, 5,000-6,000 mw would be added.’’
