Hitachi ABB to provide power transformers for Indian aluminum company

18 Mar 2021
INDIA -- Hitachi ABB in India has been awarded a project worth over $17 million by the Bharat Aluminum Company (BALCO) at its Korba plant in Chhattisgarh.  

The company is delivering fully engineered 400 kV GIS substations which will replace the existing apparatus to better assimilate power from BALCO's captive generation plants, delivering it to the Korba aluminum smelter.  
The manufacturer is equipping the substations with 500 MVA power transformers, as well as the automation solution to monitor and control the aluminum producer's grid in real time.
All the equipment for the project is being manufactured domestically in line with the Government of India's Make-in-India initiative principles and is aimed at ensuring the plant's complex smelting operations run smoothly, helping BALCO meet its production enhancement plan.  
This project is part of Hitachi ABB Power Grids' strategy to be a partner of choice for the Indian industrial ecosystem.
