BHEL has released an Expression of Interest (EOI) inviting global companies to leverage its facilities and capabilities for setting up a manufacturing base in the country.

In a veiled reference to cut the risk from concentration of manufacturing in China, BHEL said that the coronavirus has highlighted the dangers of all activity being carried out at a single location, adding that there is a need for diversification of supply chains and manufacturing. Consequently, BHEL has released an Expression of Interest (EOI) inviting global companies to partner with it.
