BHEL is an integrated power plant equipment manufacturer and one of the largest engineering and manufacturing organization in India, catering to the core infrastructure sectors of Indian economy viz. energy, transportation, heavy engineering industry, defence, renewable and non-conventional energy. The energy sector covers generation, transmission and distribution equipment for hydro, thermal, nuclear and solar photo voltaic. BHEL has been in this business for more than 50 years and BHEL supplied equipment account for more than 57 % of the total thermal generating capacity in India. BHEL is also listed in stock exchanges of India. The company has 17 manufacturing units, 4 power sector regions, 8 service centers, 8 overseas offices and 15 regional offices besides host of project sites spread all over India and abroad. The annual turnover of BHEL for the year was US$ 5.04 Billion*, with profit before tax of US$ 349 Million*. BHEL s highly skilled and committed manpower of approximately employees, the state of art manufacturing facilities and latest technologies, has helped BHEL to deliver a consistent track record of performance. To position leading state owned companies as Global Industrial giant & as a recognition for their exemplary performance, Government of India categorized BHEL as Maharatna Company in 2013, empowering the company with enhanced autonomy in decision making. With the current order book exceeding US $ 16.1 Billion*, BHEL is poised for excellent future growth. Our ongoing major technology tie-ups include agreements with GE, USA (for gas turbines); Siemens, Germany (for steam turbines, generators and condensers); Metso Automation Inc., Finland (for control & instrumentation); Alstom, France (for Super-Critical Boilers & pulverisers); MHI, Japan (for pumps); MHPS, Japan (for Flue Gas Desulfurization Systems); Vogt Power International, USA (for HRSG); GENP, Italy (for compressors); Turbo Lufttechnik, Germany (for fans) and Sheffield Forge masters International, UK (for forgings). More details about the entire range of BHEL s products and operations can be obtained by visiting our web site At present, oil rig equipment are being manufactured at two manufacturing facilities of BHEL situated at Hyderabad & Bhopal wherein mechanical equipment & fabrication work is carried out by Hyderabad and electrical equipment are manufactured at Bhopal. Complete assembly and testing of Oil Rig is carried out at BHEL Hyderabad facility. 1.2) About Heavy Power Equipment Plant(HPEP), Hyderabad and Heavy Electrical Plant (HEP), Bhopal HPEP, Hyderabad: HPEP is one of the major manufacturing plants of BHEL located at R.C Puram, Hyderabad.
