 | | Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL), a star performer in the public sector, has had a modest year in 2002-03 with a mere 3 per cent increase in turnover over the previous year's Rs.7287 crore to Rs.7510 crore; 2173 MW of generation equipment was delivered. |
 | | BHEL can take the initiative to bring in new concepts: like setting up power projects at coal pit-heads in Chattisgarh, Orissa or Maharashtra, owned by consortia that can include state electricity boards and offer economic solutions to transmit these to the concerned states. |
 | | In the Sixties and Seventies, BHEL and its precursor, Heavy Electrical (India) Ltd, went for a spate of technology agreements with a number of global manufacturers that witnessed a rapid upscaling of capacity from 30MW to 60 MW, 110-120 MW, 210-250 MW and pretty soon to 500 MW. |
