Bharat Heavy Electricals has bagged its single-largest order for supply of transformers, according to a company press release. The order, valued at Rs.80 crore, was received from Egyptian Electricity Transmission Co (EETC) -- a wholly-owned government entity.

This is also the first time that BHEL has won an order for supply of transformers to Egypt. BHEL had earlier executed a boiler project at Al Arish in Egypt.

BHEL's scope in the contract envisages supply of 14 transformers of 125 MVA rating to be installed in eight sub-stations of EETC, at different locations in Egypt. To be manufactured at BHEL's Jhansi plant, the transformers will be installed and commissioned under BHEL supervision.

BHEL has earlier executed a Boiler project at Al Arish in Egypt. With the above order, BHEL has also established itself in the Transmission Sector in the Egyptian Market, once again demonstrating its versatility and international competitiveness.

EECT is a wholly-owned government organization under the Ministry of Electricity & Energy, Egypt. EETC is responsible for management, operation and maintenance of high and ultra high voltage power transmission grids all over the country.
