BHEL's secures exports orders from two African countries

Consolidating its footprint in the African market, Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has secured export orders for supply of industrial motors to Togo and Benin.

Scancem International DA, Norway (Heidelberg Cement group) has placed the order for the motors for its cement plants, Ciments Du Togo SA & Cimbenin SA, Benin. The motors will be manufactured and supplied by BHEL’s Bhopal unit.

BHEL has been present in the African continent almost since its export journey commenced about 45 years back and has references today in almost half of the African continent.

The company has recently built 500 MW Kosti Thermal Power Plant – the largest thermal power plant of Sudan. The project came close on the heels of the successful commissioning of BHEL’s 28 MW Nyaborango Hydro project in Rwanda, 2x20 MW steam turbine and generators for cogeneration application at Tendaho Sugar Factory in Ethiopia.
