BHEL has chalked out an investment plan of Rs 12,000 crore to pick up equity
in power projects and to ramp up its capacity to support the generation of about
20,000 MW over the next four years.
The proposed investment plan is to be funded through internal accruals. The
company is planning to ramp its casting and forging manufacturing capacity.
BHEL's current manufacturing capacity can support power generation of 10,000
MW. It includes 2,500 MW of hydro electricity production, and 500 MW captive
power plants for the industrial sector.
Also, BHEL has acquired 26 per cent stake in the
2x800 MW Udangudi project of the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board and plans to
become a JV partner in more units.
