History

NTPC formed another joint venture company with SAIL on in March, 2002 in the name of Bhilai Electric Supply Company Ltd. (BESCL). BESCL took over a captive power plant (comprising 2 30MW generators and one 14MW back-power turbo generator) located at the Bhilai Steel Plant from SAIL.

To meet growing demands, NSPCL commissioned an expansion project at Bhilai comprising two 250MW generators during 2008-2009, and brought the units online in 2009-2010. Additional growth to generate an additional 1725MW is anticipated at other SAIL facilities.
