L&T Energy CarbonLite Solutions Secures LNTP for Mega Order of 1,600 MW Thermal Power Plant

 L&T Energy CarbonLite Solutions has secured a Limited Notice to Proceed (LNTP) from NTPC Ltd for the main plant package of the 2×800 MW Lara Stage-III thermal power plant in Chhattisgarh. The Notice to Proceed will be granted once the project secures environmental clearance and the LNTP period is completed.

The project entails the construction of two state-of-the-art 800 MW ultra-supercritical generating units. L&T’s scope encompasses the design, engineering, manufacturing, supply, erection, testing and commissioning of Boilers, Steam Turbines, Generators, Electrostatic Precipitators (ESPs), Air Cooled Condensers (ACC) and their auxiliaries, along with associated mechanical, electrical, control & instrumentation and civil works.

The tasks will be executed on an EPC basis using ultra-supercritical technology, which offers higher efficiency and lowers specific emissions. Once commissioned, the plant will add 1,600 MW of reliable baseload generation capacity to India’s grid, helping meet the country’s growing electricity demand driven by industrial expansion, urbanisation and infrastructure development.

Commenting on the development, Mr T Madhava Das, Whole-time Director, Sr. Executive Vice President & Head – Energy Hydrocarbon Division, L&T, said: “This award is our third ultra-supercritical project from NTPC in the past two years, reflects the trust that India’s largest power utility continues to place in our engineering, manufacturing and project execution capabilities. Over the years, we have developed deep expertise in delivering large-scale projects that are critical to the nation’s energy infrastructure. We remain committed to executing this project with the highest standards of quality, safety, and operational excellence”.

L&T Energy CarbonLite Solutions, a business vertical of L&T, is uniquely positioned to combine rich and diverse strands of experience in engineering, manufacturing and project execution with a strong focus on providing solutions for power and low-carbon processes. Its in-house strengths are complemented by collaborations with global leaders in engineering and manufacturing.
