Thermax Babcock &
Wilcox Energy Solutions
Pvt. Ltd expects
that its new boiler plant coming
up in Pune would start
commercial production by the
end of 2012. TBWES is a joint
venture between Thermax
Ltd and US-based Babcock &
Wilcox Power Generation
Group, Inc. The JV intends to
set up facilities for producing
large-size boilers for power
plants, especially those
designed to run on the new
supercritical technology.
A senior B&W official
informed Projectmonitor that
construction work on the factory
was progressing well and
on schedule. "The plant will
begin commissioning activities
this summer and be capable
of production before yearend,"
he explained.
When asked about imminent
business opportunities in
the supercritical power equipment
space, the official noted
that over the past one year,
TBWES has prepared several
firm bids for the supercritical
boiler market in India. "The
professional staff of white collar
employees located in our
new office in Pune is actively
preparing tenders for several
important projects in the
power sector," he added.
