TELK considers tech partnership with BHEL

Transformers and Electricals Kerala Limited (TELK), the transformer manufacturing unit at Angamaly, is looking towards building a technology partnership with Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), the public sector unit which is also engaged in production activities of a similar nature. TELK has a collaboration with NTPC Limited, the principal power generation company belonging to the central public sector, now. There were reports that NTPC might review its association with TELK. Professional services firm Deloitte had conducted a study on NTPC and the agency is understood to have recommended such a course of action as transformer manufacturing is not in the NTPC’s domain of activity. In response to a query by The Hindu, Deloitte expressed its inability to divulge the details of the report. TELK has been highly interested in a tie-up with BHEL, said V.D.Satheesan, MLA, and trade union activist associated with the Angamaly-based company. Such a partnership is expected to help TELK to get the required technical know-how for improving its production and marketing capabilities. “Efforts are on to convene a meeting of top officials of the concerned central public sector units in New Delhi,” he said. more at : http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Kochi/telk-considers-tech-partnership-with-bhel/article5107782.ece?homepage=true
