Toshiba Corporation and JSW Group have agreed to establish a joint venture company to manufacture and market supercritical steam turbines and generators for thermal power plants in India.
Under the terms of an agreement between the companies, Toshiba and JSW will establish a joint venture in June. The new company will have an initial capitalisation of $50 million, 75 per cent held by Toshiba Group and 25 per cent by JSW Group, to be held by two group companies, JSW Steel Ltd (5 per cent) and JSW Energy Ltd (20 per cent).
The companies are now deciding the location of the headquarters and manufacturing facilities, and will announce the details in due course. The JV partners are seeking a site of some 400,000 sq. metres, and expect to invest some $250 million in plant and manufacturing equipment. The manufacturing operations are expected to start in September 2009.
The scope of the JV includes design, manufacture, marketing and maintenance services of mid- to large-sized steam turbines and generators, ranging in size from 500 mw to 1,000 mw that will be deployed in highly efficient supercritical thermal power plants.
"This investment will give us a firm foothold in the rapidly growing Indian market for thermal power generation," said Atsuhiko Izumi, Executive Vice President of Toshiba's Power Systems Company. Toshiba has already established a strong presence in India, and in August 2007, won a major contract to supply five large supercritical steam turbines and generators to Tata Power.
