Mumbai, October 7: L&T Energy CarbonLite Solutions has secured a Limited Notice to Proceed (LNTP) from DVC CIL Power Private Limited for the main plant package of the 2×800 MW Chandrapura thermal power project in Jharkhand. 

The LNTP covers the main plant package for the Chandrapura project being developed by DVC CIL Power, a joint venture between Damodar Valley Corporation and Coal India Limited. The company said the Notice to Proceed will become effective once the project secures the requisite environmental clearances and the LNTP period is completed. 

The project comprises two 800 MW ultra-supercritical power generating units, taking the total installed capacity to 1,600 MW. L&T Energy CarbonLite’s scope includes the design, engineering, manufacturing, supply, erection, testing and commissioning of boilers, steam turbines, generators and electrostatic precipitators, along with associated mechanical, electrical, control and instrumentation and civil works.
