BHEL as a part of Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru's vision was bestowed with the onus to make the country self reliant in manufacturing of heavy electrical equipment. This dream has been more than realised and the contribution in nation building endeavour is going to continue likewise. Today, with 20,000 MW per annum capacity for power plant equipment manufacturing, BHEL's mammoth size of operations is evident from its widespread network of 17 Manufacturing Units, two Repair Units, four Regional Offices, eight Service Centres, eight Overseas Offices, six Joint Ventures, fifteen Regional Marketing Centres and current project execution at more than 150 project sites across India and abroad. The total installed capacity base of BHEL supplied equipment -138 GW in India speaks volumes about the contribution made by BHEL to Indian power sector. BHEL's 57% share in India's total installed capacity and 65% share in the country's total generation from thermal utility sets (coal based) as of March 31, 2014 stand testimony to this. The company has been earning profits continuously since 1971-72 and paying dividends since 1976-77 which is a reflection of company's commendable performance throughout.
