The key equipment for the project has been manufactured by BHEL at its Haridwar, Trichy, Hyderabad, Ranipet and Bengaluru works, while the construction of the plant was undertaken by the company's Power Sector - Northern Region. BHEL has been a major partner in the power development programme of Uttar Pradesh. Significantly, over 70% of UP's power generation capacity, aggregating to more than 16,500 MW, has been installation by BHEL.

Supercritical units are more efficient, eco-friendly and consume lesser coal. BHEL has been at the forefront of installing environment friendly supercritical coal-fired power plants in the country and has secured orders for 48 steam generators & 41 turbo-generators so far. While 12 sets of supercritical boilers and 10 sets of supercritical turbine generators have been commissioned, the balance are in various stages of execution
