Alstom T&D India was recently awarded a contract worth Rs. 106 crore (€13 million) by Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) to provide power transformer packages for the expansion of Jamnagar refinery in Gujarat.
According to an official statement issued here on Wednesday, the contract is part of an ongoing expansion known as J3, which denotes phase three expansion of the Jamnagar complex. Alstom T&D India had earlier teamed up with RIL for phase two expansion to supply generator transformers of 220 kV. In the third phase, Alstom will provide transformers to receive power at high voltages, and lower them to acceptable levels for distribution to newly expanded complexes; this includes Gasification plants, the Ethylene Cracker complex, and the Paraxylene plant.
The scope of the new contract includes designing, engineering, manufacturing, supply, supervision of erection and commissioning of 14 gasification service transformers and 3 generator step-up transformer packages. All transformers will be manufactured from Alstom T&D India’s manufacturing facility in India.
