Toshiba, powering India by making in India

Updated: Nov 29, 2016, 04.31 PM IST
To achieve 'Power for All' - one of the promises made by the Government of India, leading power producers are joining hands with multi-national companies like Toshiba to bring in global technology and generate more power for the next India.

Toshiba has a history of over 50 years in India. Long before the government’s initiative of Make in India, Toshiba identified India as its global manufacturing base and export hub. Currently, Toshiba is focusing on B2B fields such as energy, social infrastructure, storage solutions, power systems, railway systems, elevators, batteries and water treatment with a campaign ‘FOR THE NEXT INDIA’.

In the power sector, Toshiba JSW Power Systems Private Limited (TJPS), is developing clean coal and highly efficient, eco-friendly thermal technologies. And it recently announced that the company marked a significant milestone in its endeavor to offer customers state-of-the-art power generation solutions with the shipment of its first ‘Made- in-India’ 800MW Steam Turbine Generator (STG) for Unit 2 of the Kudgi Thermal Power Project in Karnataka. This is Toshiba JSW’s first large-scale generation system to be manufactured and assembled with locally procured parts and systems, which is tested in India. This reiterates TJPS’ focus on providing designs, and manufacturing products that ensure sustainable levels of performance for its useful life.

From fiscal year 2006- 2007, it was observed that majority of Independent Power Producers (IPP) placed orders in many foreign companies, which offered lower initial set up costs but did not derive the expected benefits as the operational efficiencies, operational costs and downtime on account of technical failures proved to be costlier even in the initial years of operation. Toshiba, on the other hand, has always offered its Japanese legacy of excellent performance, high reliability quotient, longevity and durability, which results in lower operating costs. This is an evident and sustainable benefit for the promoters of power plants and might be an answer to one of the biggest challenges of the present age, which is to maintain our economy’s movement on a high growth trajectory and uplift the living standards of people with least carbon emissions. Excerpts from a conversation with Mr. Subir Chakravorty, Chief Engineer, Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd.

“We aim to be the leader in providing reliable quality and affordable electricity most efficiently, with collaborative approach, by involving participation of technology providers. This approach helps us in our endeavor to provide electricity to the state and at the same time match the per capita power consumption of national level as first priority,” said Mr. Subir Chakravorty.

While talking about the technology partners and their power plants, Mr. Subir Chakravorty stated, “Our evaluation reflects the high performance and reliability of Toshiba and its capabilities in integrating engineering and manufacturing functions.

Our long standing relationship with Toshiba started with its supply of two 500MW Steam Turbine Generators for Anpara-(B) Thermal Power Plant and the association got cemented with the other project for Meja Power for which Toshiba is supplying two units of 660MW Steam Turbine Generators.”

“Precision, perfection and commitment are the reasons we chose Toshiba. We trust Toshiba and its Japanese expertise. For more than 22 years, the efficiency at which Anpara-(B) plant has been operating is an evidence of reliability of Toshiba’s technology.

We are happy to work with Toshiba once again and award them the Harduaganj Power Project. We believe that this relationship of trust and performance will continue for years to come,” concluded Mr. Subir Chakravorty. Mr. Yoshiaki Inayama

“Toshiba has made huge investments to develop India as its global business hub for Thermal Power business, because India is not only an important market but also an important export and development base. And it gives us immense pride to announce that Toshiba has just shipped its first ‘Made in India’ Steam Turbine Generator from its Chennai factory, Toshiba JSW Power Systems Private Limited. Which means not only will we be offering complete EMPCS solutions, but also generating cleaner energy and meeting the surge in demand for the next India.” • For the 12th Five-Year Plan, a total of 88.5GW of power capacity addition is targeted; of which, 72.3GW constitutes thermal power, 10.8GW hydro power and 5.3GW nuclear power
