RPower places USD 8.29-bn order with Shanghai Electric Reliance Power has placed a USD 8.29-billion order with Shanghai Electric for equipment to generate 23,760 MW, putting the Anil Ambani-controlled firm on track to becoming a leading power producer and hoisting the supplier`s shares to a 2-1/2-year high.

The order for 42 units of 660 MW each, which Reliance Power says is possibly the world™s largest deal involving such equipment, comes in the backdrop of doubts about the quality and reliability of Chinese equipment by some experts including those in the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), which had tested Chinese supplies last year.

Cairn India profit trebles to Rs 15.85 bn Cairn India on Thursday reported a three-fold jump in its net profit to Rs 15.85 billion in the quarter ended September 30, as completion of a pipeline led to jump in crude oil sales from its prolific Rajasthan block. Cairn reported a net profit of Rs 1,585.08 crore in the July-September period as against Rs 4,695.1 million net income in the same period a year ago, the company said in a statement here. The rise in net profit was mainly because July-September was the first full quarter when the company used the 590-km Barmer (in Rajasthan) to Salaya (in Gujarat) pipeline to sell crude oil produced from the giant Mangala oilfield to Reliance Industries, Essar Oil and Indian Oil Corp.
