BHEL-Tiruchi looking to expand in the west

The public sector power equipment major Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL)’s Tiruchi unit, which manufactures boilers, is exploring possibilities to set up a greenfield facility in western India. A senior official of the company said its inability to acquire land in Tamil Nadu for expansion and the local suppliers’ capacity constraints were the reasons for a possible expansion outside Tamil Nadu.

Spread over 3,000 hectares in Tiruchi, BHEL is one of the first industrial townships in the state. The Tiruchi unit, whose foundation stone was laid in 1963, currently employs around 10,500 people.
