As per the FTC, Aurobindo Pharma Ltd is also among the 11 firms that is bidding for over US$1 billion of Teva's assets being divested. Bhavita Nagrani, our pharma sector analyst has shared a few insights on the Teva deal in one of our premium editions of The 5 Minute Wrap Up.

Moving on to the news from power sector. According to an article in a leading financial daily, BHEL has bagged orders worth Rs 44 billion for setting up 80 MW Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) power plants on engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) basis.

The orders have been placed on BHEL by Neyveli Lignite Corporation Limited (NLC) and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL). The SPV plants will be set up in Tamil Nadu (65 MW) and Telangana (15 MW).

One must note that, BHEL had earlier bagged EPC orders from NTPC for a 50 MW SPV plant in Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh each. Significantly, with these orders, BHEL's solar installations will now stand at 300 MW, reports stated. This also takes the company further into the domain of SPVs power plants, a direction that the BHEL intends to increasingly foray into over the long term.
