State-run engineering firm Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) on Friday said it has secured an order worth 6,700 crore from Singareni Collieries Company (SCCL) to set up an 800 MW thermal power unit in Telangana. Under this contract, BHEL's scope of work includes design, engineering, manufacturing, supply, erection and commissioning, along with civil works, a company statement said.

BHEL has secured an order from SCCL for setting up the 800 MW Adilabad supercritical thermal power project in Mancherial district, Telangana on EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction) basis.

The company said the broad consideration or size of the order is Rs 6,700 crore exclusive of taxes and duties.

The proposed unit is to be established adjacent to the existing 2x600 MW units which are in operation.
