28 October 2005 - Alstom has signed an industrial partnership agreement with Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), setting the basis of co-operation between the two companies on once-through boiler and pulverizer technologies.
A major objective of this partnership is to win business in India's supercritical programme, aimed at helping India to efficiently fulfil its requirements in power generation.
The partnership agreement is constituted by a Technical Assistance Agreement (licence) including all once-through boiler designs and associated high performance pulverizers and a Business Co-operation Agreement defining the industrial scope of each of the partners for future boilers to be ordered. Alstom will supply engineering and the key components of the boilers, bringing work to its facilities in the USA, Germany and India.
The agreement was signed by Alstom Chairman and CEO Patrick Kron and Mr. A.K. Puri, Chairman and Managing Director of BHEL, at an official ceremony held in New Delhi, India.
Patrick Kron said "We are very proud that BHEL has decided to go into partnership with Alstom for this class of boilers, which will establish a new world reference in terms of efficiency. The deal is a major step in our development in India and confirms our status as the leading player in clean combustion technology. We are committed to making this partnership a success for the benefit of people in India."
