Bhel, Jindal Power in talks for boiler supply

New Delhi, Dec 16 (IANS) State-run power equipment maker Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) is in talks with Jindal Power to supply super-critical boilers and turbines, Minister of State for Power Jairam Ramesh said here Tuesday.

Ramesh, however, refused to divulge details, saying: 'It's certainly a big deal.'

BHEL, along with National Thermal Power Corp (NTPC), India's largest power utility, also signed an agreement Tuesday with Transparency International India (TII) for adopting an integrity pact model that binds a company and its suppliers to ethical conduct in contracts and implementation of projects.

The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) has recommended the adoption of this model for all major procurements.
