BHEL bags Railways contract
Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) on Tuesday said it has secured two plum orders from Indian Railways for the development, manufacture and supply of 3-Phase IGBT-based propulsion systems for Electric Locomotives and AC Electric Multiple Units (EMUs), hitherto the domain of MNCs. Valued at `300 crore, the orders for 40 sets for 1,400 HP AC EMUs and 30 sets for 6,000 HP electric loco-motives have been bagged amidst stiff competition from leading international suppliers, a company release said. These orders would give BHEL an opportunity to supply the system within the shortest possible time to the Indian Railways.
