Mumbai : L&T Energy Hydrocarbon Onshore
continued the momentum from its recent large order win, by securing another EPC
order (significant) from Bharat Coal Gasification and Chemicals Ltd (BCGCL), a
joint venture of Coal India Ltd (CIL) and Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL),
for a Coal-to-Ammonium-Nitrate project in Odisha.
The order (Lump Sum Turnkey Package-3) strengthens L&T’s position in
clean syngas-based ammonia synthesis, a critical building block in the coal-to-chemicals
value chain. The Ammonia Plant will play a pivotal role in enabling the
downstream manufacture of nitric acid and ammonium nitrate, ensuring
operational efficiency, process reliability and seamless integration across the
plant.
Leveraging its deep domain expertise in fertilisers, gas processing and
chemical EPC, L&T Onshore will deliver an Ammonia Synthesis Unit designed
for sustained operations, high on-stream factors, and stringent safety
standards, aligned with evolving industry benchmarks.
The scope of work includes the process licence, basic design, detailed
engineering, procurement and construction, covering mechanical completion, pre-commissioning,
commissioning, sustained load and performance guarantee test runs, overall
project management and final handover of the Ammonia Synthesis Unit and its
associated facilities on LSTK basis with single-point responsibility.
Commenting on the order win, Mr Subramanian Sarma, Deputy Managing
Director & President - L&T, said: “Gasification-based downstream
chemical infrastructure is central to India’s self-reliance agenda. This significant
order reinforces L&T’s role as a trusted EPC partner for technologically
complex and nationally important projects. The development of indigenous
ammonia capacity through coal-based routes strengthens supply resilience and
supports downstream industrial ecosystems”.
Mr E S Sathyanarayanan, Senior Vice President & Head of L&T
Onshore and Member of L&T’s Executive Committee, said:
“The ammonia plant is a critical component of the coal-to-chemicals value
chain. Our proven capabilities in executing ammonia and fertiliser plants
enable the efficient delivery of such technology-intensive assets, ensuring
consistent product quality, operational reliability and long-term performance”.
