BHEL Bags Major Coal Power Orders Across India

06 Jan 2026 CW Team

Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited has secured a major set of orders for coal-based power projects, reinforcing its position as a market leader in engineering and manufacturing for the energy sector. The latest contract wins represent one of the largest inflows into the company’s coal power portfolio in recent years, reflecting sustained demand for dependable power infrastructure as India works to meet rising electricity needs.

The new orders span equipment supply and project execution for upcoming coal-fired power stations across multiple locations. These include boilers, turbines, generators and related auxiliary systems that are essential for large thermal units. BHEL’s proven engineering capabilities, established domestic supply chain and long track record in delivering complex power projects were key to winning both repeat and new orders from public and private sector utilities.

Industry analysts said the strengthened order book is expected to support BHEL’s production pipeline and improve capacity utilisation at its manufacturing facilities, while also underpinning revenues over the near to medium term. The projects are likely to sustain employment and subcontracting activity across states where coal-based capacity is being added or refurbished.

The order inflow comes as the power sector balances a gradual transition towards cleaner energy with the continued importance of coal-fired generation for grid stability and base-load supply. BHEL’s performance indicates that conventional power technologies continue to attract investment alongside renewable energy projects.

Company officials said timely execution of the current order pipeline would enhance financial performance and further strengthen BHEL’s credentials for future infrastructure bids in India and overseas.
