BHEL to set up centres of excellence

Centres of Excellence for nano technology and compressor and pumps would be established here by Bharat Heavy Electricals's Corporate R&D unit, whose efforts enabled the company to achieve an impressive turnover of Rs. 6,334 crore during 2009-10 through in-house development of products and systems.

Giving an overview of the company's achievements in 2009-10 at a press conference here on Thursday, General Manager in-charge H. S. Jain, said during the year, BHEL spent Rs. 788 crore on R&D efforts.

The Rs. 8.20-crore centre for nano technology was expected to be functional by June 2011, while the Rs. 9.90-crore centre for compressors and pumps was in an advanced stage of completion. It had already established a similar centre for machine dynamics.
