BHEL plans two units in U.P.

NEW DELHI: As part of its manufacturing capacity expansion to 15,000 MW annually in the next two years, Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) will invest Rs. 300 crore to set up a new fabrication plant and a central stamping unit at Jagdishpur in Uttar Pradesh.

The new units are expected to provide direct and indirect employment to about 1,000 persons.

The fabrication plant will produce around 25,000 tonnes annually, including about 16,000 tonnes of structures for boilers.

The plant will start functioning from the third quarter of the second year and will become fully operational in three years.

The central stamping unit is being set up to meet the increased requirement of stampings, a critical part of electrical machines, and will have a capacity to manufacture 130 lakh stampings annually.
