Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has secured two breakthrough orders from Indian Railways for the development, manufacture and supply of 3-Phase IGBT-based propulsion systems for Electric Locomotives and AC EMUs.
The orders for 40 sets for 1400 HP AC EMUs (Electric Multiple Units) and 30 sets for 6000 HP Electric Locomotives are cumulatively valued at Rs.3,000 Million. The orders have been bagged amidst stiff competition from leading international suppliers.
These orders give BHEL an opportunity to become the established supplier to the Indian Railways for this technology, hitherto the domain of leading multinational corporations.
BHEL is already executing an order for 200 numbers of 5,000 HP 25 kV AC Mainline Electric Locomotives (Type WAG -7) for Indian Railways. With the present order, Indian Railways have reposed their confidence in BHEL's capabilities and technological excellence.
