Turbines and aircraft engines maker Rolls-Royce PLC (LSE: RR) said it won its second contract in two years from Gas Authority India Limited (GAIL) to supply power systems for a major gas pipeline project. The new contract is valued at US$90 million.
This new order is for four Rolls-Royce RB211 packages which will be used on the 500 kilometr Vijaipur-Dadri Bawana Pipeline (VDPL) running from Vijaipur to Dadri, part of the larger VDPL project.
This deal follows a US$130 million contract award in 2008 for six RB211 gas compressor sets for the 600 kilometre Dahej-Vijaipur (DVPL) pipeline that runs between Dahej in Gujrat to Vijaipur in Madhya Pradesh.
All ten Rolls-Royce gas turbine packages will be used to increase the flow of gas on these key projects in India, which will support GAIL in contributing to the country's infrastructure requirement.
The RB211 gas generators will be manufactured at the company's facility in Montreal, while packaging of the units and the manufacture of the compressors will take place in Mount Vernon, Ohio. All the equipment for this latest contract is scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of 2011, Rolls-Royce added.
