With nuclear power generation emerging as a big business opportunity, state-owned BHEL has entered into talks with global players, including Alstom and Toshiba for manufacturing nuclear reactors to provide end-to-end solutions.
"Yes our interest is there in (building) reactors, we have done components and now we are looking at providing end-to-end solutions in this segment that includes manufacturing of nuclear reactors," BHEL Chairman and Managing Director B P Rao told PTI.
The company is likely to form a joint venture company with Nuclear Power Corporation of India for setting up atomic power plants in the country and has already signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the same.
However, to provide end-to-end solutions, the JV would have to induct a technology partner and for that BHEL has been talking to the global players.
