Vallur power plant works progressing

CHENNAI: Boiler drum lifting, a major activity in the setting up of the first stage of the Vallur Thermal Power Plant, is scheduled for April 30.

The main plant package for stage-1 was awarded on August 13, 2007 to BHEL, which has commenced work. Erection of the boiler column began on January 5 this year. Civil works for chimney and main plant are progressing at a fast pace, according to a TNEB release. The 3 X 500 MW project is being executed by NTECL, a joint venture company formed by the NTPC and TNEB. Tamil Nadu will get 75 per cent of the power produced from the project as its share.

Chief Secretary K.S.Sripathi inspected the project on Wednesday.
