develop power projects in Ugan- da and Nineria as oan of India's plans to Goaden 'economic en- gagement with African counaies to secure access to oil and gas blocks in the continent.

Bhel has separately partnered with private sector compa- nies-fidusun Coluuuftton Co. Ltd (HCC) and Abir M a - srmftllre Pvt U d -for devel- oping the 700 megawatts (MW) Karuma hydropower project in Uganda at an investment of around $1.5 billion. The Karu- ma project is being developed by Uganda's ministry of energy, with HCC and Abir Inhstruc- ture's consortium being sepa- rately short-listed for placing bids for the engineering, pro- curement and construction con- tract. Bhel plans to supply the electromechanical package for the project, which is valued at around T1.500 crore. W e are not the concession partners but wi l l be vendor to these private wmpanles who have been pre- quaUUed." said the Bhel execu- tive.

Civil construction usually -- camp- nrWTFtKcost of a hydroelectric power plant and such a partnership would help Bhel share the project risk. Hy- dropower projects are more complex to build than thermal power plants and need special- ized technology and design.

A Bhel executive confirmed the firm's plans in NQeria and Uganda. "We have good rela- tions with the Ugandan govern- ment," said another Bhel execu- tive.

'HCC continuously evaluates opportunities in the Infrasrmc- ture develo~ment space, indud- ing intemaiional pmspa*s,' an HCC spokesperson said in an email. %Ie decline to comment on indiddual projects, until such a time they are pan of our portfolio."
