Rajya Sabha member Tapan Sen seeks PM intervention in panel report on BHEL

Describing reports of Chinese power equipment being superior to those made by BHEL as "shocking", Rajya Sabha member Tapan Sen has written to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh seeking to look into the issue as it maligns a state-run entity.

Sen's recent letter comes amid articles that a Planning Commission report said that Chinese equipment is better than those manufactured by Bharat Heavy Electricals.

According to Sen, such a report is shocking and reflect deliberate "maligning and tarnishing" the image of a government-owned company by an "authority appointed by the same government".

Sen pointed out that in 75% of projects involving BHEL, the state-run company's obligations are limited to boilers, turbines and generators, which make up for 40 to 45% of total project work.
