BHEL commissioned record projects

Despite a global slowdown witnessed in last financial year, state-run BHEL has commissioned the highest-ever number of projects in its history and witnessed an order book growth, which was highest in the last five years.

Speaking at the AGM of BHEL, chairman and managing director Atul Sobti said enhanced focus on project execution has resulted in the company creating history by way of commissioning/synchronising an all-time high 15,059 MW of power generating equipment during the year.

Despite intense competitive pressure in the power and capital goods markets during the year, Mr Sobti said BHEL achieved the highest order booking in the last five years, at Rs 43,727 crore, a 42 per cent leap over 2014-15.
