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.

Years Of Coal Backlash Undermine India’s Energy Security Push
- India's plan to expand its coal power fleet to meet energy needs is facing challenges due to a lack of companies willing to build new plants.
- Global anti-coal movements have reduced financing and investor interest in coal projects, resulting in fewer suppliers for vital equipment in India.
- Despite a surge in renewable energy installations, India still relies on coal power to meet increasing demands, leading to a push to double coal capacity.
- BHEL and Larsen & Toubro are currently the main suppliers of key equipment for coal plants, as major overseas providers have halted new coal plant orders.
- With rising costs and lack of competition, developers are hesitant to place orders for new power plants in India.
- Import restrictions on power equipment from China, heightened by tensions between India and Beijing, have led to delays and increased costs in obtaining critical parts.
- The escalation of costs could fast-track the shift towards green energy, making coal investments riskier and leading to a potential wave of stranded assets in the power sector.
- Challenges in building infrastructure outside coal plants, such as water connectivity and pollution control units, further hinder the development of coal projects in India.
- The current situation highlights the need for a transformative shift towards sustainable energy sources to avoid potential economic and environmental risks associated with coal investments.
- Amidst these challenges, there is an impetus for India to accelerate its transition towards greener alternatives to ensure long-term energy security and sustainability.
