The Tiruchirappalli complex of Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has set a target of Rs 10,000 crore turnover by the end of the current fiscal, said A V Krishnan, executive director, BHEL - Tiruchirappalli.

He said the Phase III of capacity augmentation of the boiler plant being taken up with an additional investment of Rs 485 crore would be completed by 2011. Upon completion, the manufacturing capacity of the plant will increase to 15,000 Mw per annum.

The unit was also focusing on despatching all materials in a sequential manner to enable erection and commissioning of all its projects well in time. He said that the thrust would be on three major parameters — productivity, quality and safety — towards meeting the requirements of customers.

Unit-II of the high pressure boiler plant, set up near the existing factory under Phase-II of the capacity augmentation scheme at an outlay of Rs 732 crore, would soon be inaugurated, Krishnan said adding in the third phase, around 89 major manufacturing facilities would be added at the new plant.
