L&T synchronises 660 MW unit at Rajasthan project

NEW DELHI: Engineering giant Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has synchronised first 660 MW unit of the 1,320 MW thermal power project at Chhabra in Rajasthan.

"L&T has on October 2, 2016 achieved synchronisation of its first 660 MW supercritical unit (Unit-5) of the project in record time of 42 months and four days from the date of Notice to Proceed (March 28, 2013)," the company said in a press release.

The thermal power project is being developed by Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd (RRVUNL).

It is the fastest synchronisation for L&T amongst all its other projects to date and the speediest one so far for any indigenously manufactured supercritical unit in India, it said.

"The synchronisation achievement shows that L&T is well equipped to handle tighter project schedules and meet customer expectations. In this case, L&T has bettered its own record," L&T Power CEO and Managing Director Shailendra Roy said.

L&T is an Indian multinational engaged in technology, engineering, construction, manufacturing and financial services with USD 16 billion in revenue. It operates in over 30 countries worldwide.
