BHEL looking for technology provider to make heavy turbines

Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) is searching for a technology provider to manufacture heavy turbines for the Atomic Power Stations to come up in the wake of the US-Indo Civilian Nuclear agreement. The company is holding talks with some Multi National Companies (MNCs) for the technical know-how to go in for production of heavy turbines.

BHEL has plans to manufacture turbines for 700 and 1000 mega watt atomic power units in the country. After finalising the third party (technology provider), BHEL along with Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) will ink the pact with it.

     Besides turbines, BHEL Bhopal will try its hands at other equipment manufacturing for the atomic stations. BHEL’s Haridwar-based unit in the past had manufactured generators for the atomic power stations.
