BHEL Haridwar

With a golden legacy of 50 illustrious years, on its side, BHEL is an integrated power plant equipment manufacturer and one of the largest engineering and manufacturing companies of its kind in India, engaged in the design, engineering, manufacture, construction, testing, commissioning and servicing of a wide range of products and services for core sectors of the economy, viz. Power, Transmission, Industry, Transportation (Railways), Renewable Energy, Oil & Gas, Water and Defence with over 180 product offerings to meet the needs of these sectors. The establishment of BHEL in 1964 was a breakthrough for an upsurge in India’s Heavy Electrical Equipment industry. Consistent performance in a highly competitive environment enabled BHEL to attain the coveted ‘Maharatna’ status in 2013.

BHEL, as a part of Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru’s vision, was bestowed with the onus to make the country self-reliant in manufacture of heavy electrical equipment. This dream has been more than realized and the company’s contribution to nation building endeavour is going to continue likewise. Today, with 20,000 MW per annum capacity for power plant equipment manufacturing, BHEL’s mammoth size of operations is evident from its widespread network of 17 Manufacturing Units, 2 Repair Units, 4 Regional Officers, 8 Service Centre, 8 Overseas Offices, 6 Joint Ventures, 15 Regional Marketing Centers and current project execution at more than 150 project sites across India and abroad. The total installed capacity base of BHEL supplied equipment of 153 GW globally speaks volumes about the contribution made by BHEL n the power sector. BHEL’s 57% share in India’s total installed capacity and 65% share in the country’s total generation from thermal utility sets (coal based) stands testimony to this. The company has been earning profits continuously since 1971-72 and paying dividends since 1976-77 which is a reflection of company’s commendable performance throughout.

BHEL also has a widespread overseas footprint in over 75 countries with the cumulative overseas installed capacity of BHEL manufactured power plants at over 10,000 MW in Belarus, Bhutan, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Kazakhastan, Libya, Malaysia, Nepal, New Calendonia, Oman, Rwanda, Sudan, Tajikistan, UAE and Vietnam.

The high level of quality & reliability of BHEL products and systems is an outcome of strict adherence to international standards through acquiring and adapting some of the best technologies from the world’s leading OEM companies together with technologies developed in its own R&D centres. Most of BHEL’s manufacturing units and other entities have been accredited to Quality Management Systems (ISO9001:2008), Environmental Management Systems (ISO14001:2004) and Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems (OHSAS18001:2007).

BHEL’s greatest strength is its highly skilled and committed workforce. Every employee is given an equal opportunity to develop himself/herself and grow in his/her career. Continues training and retraining, career planning, a positive work culture and a participative style of management, have engendered the development of a committed and motivated workforce, setting new benchmarks in terms of productivity, quality and responsiveness.
