INTRODUCTION TO BHEL

AN OVERVIEW

In 1956 India took a major step towards the establishment of its heavy engineering
industry when Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd., (BHEL) setup at Bhopal. It progressed
rapidly and three more factories went into production in 1965. The main aim of
establishing BHEL was to meet the growing power requirement of the country. BHEL
appeared on the power map of India in 1969 when the first unit supplied by it was
commissioned at the Basin Bridge Thermal Power Station in Tamilnadu. Within a
decade, BHEL had commissioned the 100th unit at Santaldih, West Bengal.
BHEL has taken India from a near total dependence on imports to complete self-
reliance in this vital area of power plant equipment. BHEL has supplied 97% of the
power generating equipment that was commissioned in India during 1979-80. BHEL has
already supplied generating equipment to various utilities produce annually;
equipment capable of generating 6000MW. This will grow further to enable BHEL to
meet all of India�s projected power equipment requirements, as well as sizeable
portion of export targets.
Probably the most significant aspect of BHEL�s growth has been its
diversification. The constant reorientation of the organization to meet the varied
needs in time with time a philosophy that has led to the development of a total
capability � from concept to commissioning not only in the field of energy but
also in industry and transportation. In the world power scene, BHEL ranks among
the top ten manufacturers of power plant equipment and in terms of the spectrum of
products and services offered, it is right on top.
BHEL�s technological excellence and turnkey capabilities have won it world wide
recognition. Over 40 countries in the world over have placed orders with BHEL
covering individual equipment to complete power stations on a turnkey basis.
BHEL has its headquarters at New Delhi. Its operations are spread over 14
manufacturing plants and number of engineering and service divisions located
across the country. The service divisions include a network of regional branch
offices throughout India.
