Key Achievments andtrainingsOur VoiceShowcasing the talents ofour employees

Dear Colleagues,

At the outset, I would like to greet you all as this is my first personal message to the teamsince I have joined. Past 7-8 months have been pretty eventful and hectic. Meetingpeople, understanding how we work and taking over the responsibility from SteveSchmidt

The Last couple of months have also brought some good news for all of us We havebeen recently awarded four projects. Neyveli, Angul LOI, Darlipalli and North Karanpura.So the good thing here is that we have our hands full but it is not going to be an easy journey. We are bound to face challenges while executing these projects.

I am however confident that we can meet these challenges and very positively respondto the changes in the market. Our success will come from our expertise, innovationcapabilities, engineering competencies but more than anything from our commitment tothe values and vision of Alstom. We have already achieved a lot together, and I dobelieve that Boilers India has a very promising and exciting future.

India is one of the most dynamic, challenging and rewarding places to work in thepresent Global scenario. We are very lucky to witness this deep evolution of the countryand with it the business we are working in.

The entry of new players in the market and the changing political dynamics has made itvery crucial that we excel in every single thing we do. We must ensure that we are allcommitted to the d2e approach while keeping in mind the DISHA vision envisaged for thebusiness because that is how growth happens, one gesture, one person, and one momentat a time. We must not forget,

The strength of the team is each ind ividual member. The strength of eachmember is the team

We have strong ambitions requiring us to develop continuously; this automaticallycreates the need for a more vibrant and stronger internal communication system.FLAME fulfils that crucial need, simulating a network which makes us know each otherbetter. It is YOUR magazine, YOUR ideas, YOUR achievements, experiences anddiscoveries which makes it a real pleasure to release another edition of it. Hope youenjoy reading it !!

BARH II (2660) was the first contract signed by BHEL

with NTPC under Collaboration Agreement withALSTOM for Supercritical Boilers. It is now fullyerected, Hydro test completed and trial synchronizationdone. Soon, it will be the first live & performingsupercritical Boiler under Alstom Technology In India.KHRISHNAPATNAM (2800) was the second project, itshydro Test and Steam Blowing have been donesuccessfully and it will be commissioned soon. In otherprojects where Alstom has already completed thesupplies like BARA (3660), YERMARAS (2800),BELLARY (1700) , the construction is in full swing.

So, a normal day in thelife of a constructionengineer remains intensive

throughout the day but isalso rewarding. It throwsto you enough challengeswhich will teach you waybetter than any book CHANDAN MISHRAConstruction Engineer

Through the looking glassThough the roads been rocky it sure feels good to me

Xuanzang Xu-An-Zang? What a strange name? Who is he and whyare we talking about him?He was a Chinese Buddhist Monk who made a 17 year journey (covering more than 20000 miles on foot andwithout the aid of any maps or modern gadgets) in 629 C.Eto reach India.

17 Years? Really??Why was he so desperate to reach India?He believed that true knowledge and wisdom could only be

obtained by coming to India The Land of Buddha. Hewanted to answer questions that were troubling ChineseBuddhists in those days.

Hard to believe? Are you sure that he had no secret Missionin Mind??Absolutely.Unlike travellers like Vasco Da Gama, Columbusand Bartolomeu Dias who did it for Money, Glory, Religiouscampaigning XZ was motivated only by the thirst forknowledge.

Was he successful? What did he do in India?He not only studied Buddhism in detail by staying inVarious Indian cities but also learned Yoga Shastras inNalanda University.

How did he convince the Chinese Monks back home abouthis insights after he returned?He took back with him 657 copies of books on Buddhismon 20 horses. The entire collection was translated intoChinese from Sanskrit under his supervision and placed in aknowledge temple which still exists in China.

I never read anything about Buddhism? Is it thatinteresting?Strange, how little we know about our past. Specially intimes sought with so much strife, when Buddhas messageof tolerance and peace hold more relevance than everbefore.

I never thought Chinese people had any respect for theIndian way of life.This not only shows how little we know about our ownpast, but about our neighbours as well. There is an entire

world beyond Europe and America waiting to be explored.

Boiler standardization for coal based 660 MW Thermal power plants -

India Boiler team has recently developed a product/platform concept and evaluates the wide range of Coal -which covers morethan 60% of Indian market and can yield guarantee values to mee ts different customers specification. The Coal range hasbeen classified as medium grade coal and thus named this development project as RP660MGI. This decision was made keepingin mind the tough competitive environment and the standardized product which is required to suit different customer acrossthe country.

The journey involved multiple discussions between various partners, mainly Alstom plants group which resulted on thedevelopment of the product. It has successfully passed the design gate review for its commercialization and Alstom is bidding

majority of the proposals based on the platform concept.Following are the salient features of standardized boiler as a product which shall be considered as unique selling point.

Suitable for vide variety of Coal. Suitable for different location across Indian terrain. Ease of Construction. Better operational efficiency at site. Safe design. Enhanced product quality Proven technology across globe. Reduced execution cycle time. Optimized structure.

ZenithKnowledge is Power? No. Knowledge on its own is nothing, but the application of useful knowledge, now that is powerful

Till date we have received 12 Nos. Supercritical Boiler orders from BHEL @ total Alstom value of around 1.4 BUSD. Thisvalue includes recently received projects namely Darlipalli (2x800 MW) & North Karanpura (3x660 MW).

We have now entered the market with BHEL for a new design of Tower Type Boilers and have received a prestigious orderfor design, manufacture, supply, erection & commissioning of Neyveli (2x500 MW) @ value approx. 168 MUSD.
