L&T Special Steels and Heavy Forgings, a joint venture of Larsen & Toubro (L&T) and Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL), has a state-of-the-art facility and is qualified to produce a wide range of critical heavy forgings for the nuclear, hydrocarbon, oil & gas and strategic sectors. It has received an order worth ₹442 Crore from NPCIL to supply forgings for steam generators.
These forgings will be used in the manufacture of the critical equipment for six new indigenous 700 MWe Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs). This requirement is part of the Government of India’s ambitious plan to put up 10 PHWR units.
Commenting on the forgings order, Shailendra Roy, Whole-Time Director (Power, Heavy Engg. & Nuclear), L&T, said, “This prestigious order from NPCIL reinforces L&T’s standing in the country as a major player in the nuclear power sector.”
