The statement of interest was published on the precept that a large number of OEM corporations intended to move their production base from China to other countries after the COVID-19 outbreak.
BHEL said Monday: “Almost 60 applicable responses were obtained (in the EOI) with more than 50% of foreign-owned enterprises, covering various sectors such as railways, defense and aerospace, electric mobility, electrical equipment, etc. BHEL’s high- level groups try to move them forward within a limited time frame.”
