Why BHEL’s ₹1,500 cr order matters

Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd. (BHEL) has bagged a ₹1,200–1,500 crore order from Hindalco Industries for Aditya Expansion Project Phase II in Odisha.

What’s the deal: the order covers end-to-end operation and performance acceptance testing of a 2 × 150 MW Boiler Turbine Generator (BTG) package. 

This BTG simply means two in-house power units that together generate 300 MW of electricity for the factory using steam-driven turbines.

The project will supply its own reliable electricity to the Aditya Aluminium plant, so it doesn’t have to depend on outside power.

What it means: this helps reliable power to keep factories running & prices stable. When a big plant makes its own electricity, it avoids power cuts and delays.

That eventually affects everything from cars to buildings to packaging, which all use aluminium.
