BHEL bags up to ₹900 cr PGCIL order to boost Gujarat's green grid

Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) has bagged a contract worth between ₹600 crore and ₹900 crore (excluding GST) from Power Grid Corporation of India (PGCIL) to supply and set up synchronous condensers at Kalyanpur in Gujarat.

This project aims to bolster renewable energy integration from the Jam Khambhaliya Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) into the state's transmission grid. By deploying two +300/-200 MVAR synchronous condensers, the installation will deliver critical grid support—such as reactive power management and voltage regulation—to ensure system stability amid rising green energy capacity.
