The Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) is playing a pivotal role in fostering self-reliance in India's infrastructure sector, affirms the Minister of Heavy Industries. The government-owned engineering and manufacturing enterprise has been instrumental in bolstering the nation's capabilities in the critical infrastructure domain.

As per the minister, BHEL's contributions extend beyond mere industrial prowess; they are integral to India's journey towards self-sufficiency in infrastructure development. The company's diverse portfolio, spanning power, transportation, and industrial sectors, positions it as a key player in fostering indigenous solutions and reducing dependence on external sources.

BHEL's impact is particularly pronounced in the urban transportation sector, where its innovative solutions contribute to the development of robust and self-sustaining urban infrastructure. The company's commitment to cutting-edge technologies and sustainable practices aligns with the government's vision for a self-reliant India, reinforcing the importance of indigenous capabilities in the infrastructure landscape.

The minister emphasised that BHEL's initiatives are not just about economic growth but also about creating a resilient and self-sufficient infrastructure network that can withstand global challenges. The company's efforts resonate with the broader vision of making India a hub for advanced manufacturing and technological innovation in the infrastructure sector.

As BHEL continues to spearhead initiatives that contribute to India's infrastructure self-reliance, its role becomes increasingly vital in shaping the nation's future and fostering a robust, self-sufficient, and globally competitive infrastructure ecosystem.
