In an exchange filing on Wednesday, the company said it has signed a contract agreement with Dangote Petroleum Refinery & Petrochemicals Free Zone Enterprise.
Shares of state-run engineering major Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) are likely to attract investors' attention in Thursday's trade, 4 June, as the company secured a major international order worth ₹2,000–2,500 crore from Dangote Petroleum Refinery & Petrochemicals Free Zone Enterprise, Nigeria, for the supply of gas turbine generator packages for its refinery and petrochemical project.
In an exchange filing on Wednesday, the company said it has signed a contract agreement with Dangote Petroleum Refinery & Petrochemicals Free Zone Enterprise for the design, manufacturing, supply, and supervision of the erection and commissioning of eight gas turbine generator packages for a petroleum refinery and polypropylene plant located in the Dangote Industries Free Zone, Nigeria.
The company said the contract was signed on June 2, 2026, and the project is scheduled to be completed within 26 months from the effective date of the agreement.
The scope of work includes design, manufacture, supply up to Mumbai Port, supervision of erection and commissioning, and performance guarantee testing of eight gas turbine generator packages, excluding civil works.
