Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) units at Tiruchi and Ranipet will collaborate with the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IITM), for joint research in sea water desalination and pollutant control systems.

O P Bhutani, director (engineering R&D), BHEL, who was here to inaugurate the company's R&D Gateway, said the company was looking to strengthen joint research and other collaborative projects with IITM. He said research with academic institutions had been identified as a critical success factor by BHEL.

“This new initiative will be an ideal platform and can catalyse technology development. It would also help us realise the dream of being the first to put up ultra-super-critical power plants in line with the government’s vision for India,” said Bhutani.
