BHEL

Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has been in the field of manufacture and supply of railway

engines/ locomotives since mid-1980s. For this, the company has established facilities for manufacture

of a range of traction machines, diesel and electric locomotives, rolling stock for Indian Railways,

Industrial use and other Urban Transportation applications. These include, mainline electric

locomotives upto 5000 Horse Power (HP) for Railways, Diesel Electric Locomotives ranging from 350 HP

to 2600 HP for different medium and large industries, Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) coaches, and

related electrics/drives/controls.

The Jhansi Unit of BHEL has the main facilities for manufacture of railway locomotives which are

presently being enhanced. BHEL has the necessary human resources and technology for manufacture of its

present range of locomotives & railway engines/equipment.At present there is no proposal under

consideration for setting up separate plant/unit of BHEL to manufacture railway engines/locomotives.

This was stated by Shri Arun Yadav, Minister of State for Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises in

the Lok Sabha today.
