This is for the second time we are working with the state utility; earlier we had executed the balance of plant package for them.”
L&T has executed several large coal-based power projects on EPC basis for government utilities and independent power producers in India. It is currently executing another coal-based power project in Madhya Pradesh – 2×660 MW ultra-supercritical power plant at Khargone for NTPC.
