BRISK PROGRESS
The East Coast Team has been working relentlessly over the last nine
months to bring back the Bhavanapadu Project on track. The
milestones achieved over the last few months are highly
commendable and the team has set the project on course for
comple on.
The team achieved remarkable progress with comple on of large
number of Founda on Works, Chimney Shell crossing 100 meters
mark, Boiler Erec on crossing Second Tier etc. The next six months
are the crucial months for consolida ng the good work done ll
date and set the project on a sure track for comple on of the First
Unit by middle of 2016.
The persistence, commitment and professionalism displayed by the
en re Team have resulted in overcoming all the hurdles and
bringing posi ve developments in the project execu on, nancing
and other areas. The company has also tasted success in the Case - I
Compe ve Bidding for supply of power (100 MW) on long-term
basis to the State of Kerala and the PPA is expected to be signed
shortly.
I salute the team members who have clearly validated my belief
Team is the Key and have achieved so much by sheer hard work
and team eorts. I am condent that the convic on and
commitment of the team will ensure the project comple on as per
the new me schedules.
I am sure that the next issue of Live Wire will have many more
