New Delhi: In order to promote Make in India and support international companies in setting up manufacturing in India, BHEL has floated an Expression of Interest (EoI), inviting global companies to partner with it and leverage its facilities and capabilities for setting up a manufacturing base in the country. BHEL, a Maharatna PSU under the Department of Heavy Industries, has 16 state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities spread across the country with substantial land bank, as well as extensive built-up industrial/ commercial and residential spaces.

"The ongoing economic disruption across the world due to COVID-19 has highlighted the dangers of manufacturing activities being concentrated in a single location and thrown up the need for diversification of supply chains and manufacturing. This has thrown up a huge opportunity for India — one of the fastest-growing economies of the world and an attractive investment destination which offers strong democratic governance, a well-established judicial system, a young workforce, one of the largest domestic markets and favourable investment policies," an official statement said on Monday.
