Toshiba JSW Ships Its 1st 'Made in India' Power Plant Kit

Toshiba JSW Power Systems Pvt Ltd (Toshiba JSW) has shipped its first 'Made-in-India' steam turbine generator of 800 mw (mega watt) for the second unit of state-run generation utility NTPC's Kudgi super-critical thermal power station in Karnataka.

    This is Toshiba's first large-scale generation system to be manufactured and assembled with locally-procured parts and systems as well as tested in India, the company said on a statement, carried by "The Times of India".

    This is Toshiba's first and the only overseas equipment manufacturing facility for power plants outside Japan and follows the company's global manufacturing standards and manufacturing practices.

    In February 2012, Toshiba Group received an order for three 800MW steam turbine and generator island packages (STG) for the Kudgi super-critical thermal power station from NTPC, India's largest state-owned energy service provider. Toshiba Corporation fulfilled the first part of the order, and Kudgi Unit 2 and 3 has been made by Toshiba JSW in Chennai.
