With the commissioning of the fourth and final 30 MW hydro generating unit, BHEL has successfully commissioned the 120 MW Pulichintala Hydro Electric Project (HEP) in Telangana. The other three units of the 4x30 MW Pulichintala HEP, commissioned earlier by BHEL are already operational.

Suryapet district-based greenfield project has been set up for Telangana State Power Generation Corporation Limited (TSGENCO) on the river Krishna. Power generation from Pulichintala HEP will contribute significantly in reduction of greenhouse gas emissions towards achieving a low carbon development path for the nation.

BHEL was entrusted with execution of the electro-mechanical package for the project comprising supply and supervision of erection and commissioning of four sets of vertical kaplan turbines and generators of 30 MW capacity each along with the associated auxiliary equipment.
