The Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL), the state-owned power equipment major and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), the defence PSU, have firmed up plans to float a joint venture company (JVC) during the present fiscal for setting up an integrated 250 Mw solar photovoltaic modules plant. They have also shortlisted two locations in Karnataka and one in Andhra Pradesh for setting up the plant at an investment of Rs 2,000 crore.

Both companies had signed a memorandum of understanding two years ago to work out the possibility of a joint venture for solar photovoltaic business, setting up manufacturing facility for silicon wafer, solar cells and modules, and to identify suitable vendors/partners for the supply of raw materials including polysilicon for solar photo voltaic business.

The proposed JVC, besides export, will cater to Indian solar products requirements. The integrated plant will manufacture polysilicon ingots, wafers, solar cells, PV modules and panel systems. A joint working group set up by both the companies is presently in talks with several overseas companies in the solar PV sector for a possible technology-cum-investment tie up.crackcrack
