Construction of Coal-fired Supercritical Pressure Power Plant in India by Boiler and Turbine-generator Joint Venture Company with Larsen & Toubro (L&T)
Indian Power System Joint Venture Operations Department, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd.
For the construction of a high-reliability/high-efficiency coal-fired supercritical pressure
power plant for India, which was facing serious power shortages while achieving rapid economic
growth, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd. (MHPS) established a joint-venture boiler
company (LMB: L&T-MHPS Boilers Private Ltd.) and a joint-venture steam turbine generator
company (LMTG: L&T-MHPS Turbine Generators Private Ltd.) with Larsen & Toubro Limited
(L&T) of India in 2007. Our cooperating generator manufacturer Mitsubishi Electric Corporation
(MELCO) is also affiliated with LMTG as an investor.
High level of quality achieved by transferring excellent Japanese technology to the
joint-venture companies under a technological license agreement, as well as by establishing the
Japanese manufacturing mind in those companies, 4 boilers and 5 steam turbine generators started
commercial operation by March 2015.
In the future also, MHPS intends to enhance role of LMB/LMTG not only for the coal-fired
supercritical pressure power plant projects within India, but also for the worldwide business of
MHPS as the production bases of boilers/steam turbines.
