and process controls.
The Company is a major producer of large-size thruster devices. It also supplies digital
distributed control systems for process industries, and control & instrumentation systems for
power plant and industrial applications. BHEL is the only company in India with the capability to
make simulators for power plants, defense and other applications.
1.6 TELECOMMUNICATION
BHEL also caters to Telecommunication sector by way of small, medium and large switching
systems.
Technologies that can be offered by BHEL for exploiting non-conventional and renewable
sources of energy include: wind electric generators, solar photovoltaic systems, solar lanterns
and battery-powered road vehicles. The Company has taken up R&D efforts for development of
multi-junction amorphous silicon solar cells and fuel based systems.
1.8 INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
BHEL has, over the years, established its references in around 60 countries of the world, ranging
for the United States in the West to New Zealand in the Far East. These references encompass
almost the entire product range of BHEL, covering turnkey power projects of thermal, hydro
and gas-based types, substation projects, rehabilitation projects, besides a wide variety of
products, like transformers, insulators, switchgears, heat exchangers, castings and forgings,
valves, well-head equipment, centrifugal compressors, photo-voltaic equipment etc. Apart from
over 1110MW of boiler capacity contributed in Malaysia, and execution of four prestigious
power projects in Oman, Some of the other major successes achieved by the Company have
been in Australia, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Greece, Cyprus, Malta, Egypt, Bangladesh, Azerbaijan, Sri
Lanka, Iraq etc.
The success in the area of rehabilitation and life extension of power projects has
established BHEL as a comparable alternative to the original equipment manufactures (OEMs)
for such plants.
1.9 TECHNOLOGY UPGRADATION AND RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
To remain competitive and meet customers' expectations, BHEL lays great emphasis on the
continuous up gradation of products and related technologies, and development of new
products. The Company has upgraded its products to contemporary levels through continuous
in house efforts as well as through acquisition of new technologies from leading engineering
organizations of the world.
The Corporate R&D Division at Hyderabad, spread over a 140 acre complex, leads BHEL's
research efforts in a number of areas of importance to BHEL's product range. Research and
product development centers at each of the manufacturing divisions play a complementary
role.
BHEL's Investment in R&D is amongst the largest in the corporate sector in India.

CONCLUSION
Here, in the end, where I would like to conclude my whole report with
some short sign. I must say that, to rise in the field of Mechanical
Engineering, one must have the good knowledge of all the
manufacturing processes. The most important thing is to study the
drawings and make the route sheet, planning, shop floor management
of the consequent operations. And in that way I prefer myself to get
training at B.H.E.L, Haridwar. Because B.H.E.L is growing in the field of
Manufacturing and is a very big manufacturing unit so it’s very good to
learn at this place the mechanical and the strategies of management
too.
In this report, you will find some very refined data, which is
referenced from a number of books and manuals and websites. This is
just an effort to make my report more efficient.
