BHEL in a statement said: “BHEL has been a reliable supplier of critical equipment and services in the defence and aerospace sector for over three decades with the aim of making a major contribution towards self-reliance in these sectors.

“Towards this, BHEL has established dedicated, intricate manufacturing and inspection facilities at its manufacturing plants, for production, installation and commissioning and lifecycle support of various products and components.”

The order will support India’s ‘AatmaNirbhar Bharat’ vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This initiative is aimed at achieving self-reliance in the critical field of Defence equipment.
