BHEL

The Government of India has unveiled plans to divest a 5% equity stake in Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd. (BHEL) through an Offer for Sale (OFS) at a floor price of Rs. 254 per share. The transaction forms part of the Centre’s broader disinvestment strategy aimed at strengthening public finances and enhancing market participation in state-run enterprises. The move is expected to improve stock liquidity and deepen retail and institutional ownership in the engineering major.

Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has been entrusted with supplying the advanced KAVACH train collision-avoidance systems to Indian Railways, marking a significant step in modernizing the nation’s railway safety infrastructure. The project underscores India’s commitment to adopting cutting-edge technology to enhance operational efficiency and passenger security. KAVACH, an indigenously developed automatic train protection system, is designed to prevent collisions, signal passing at danger, and over-speeding, thereby improving overall rail safety.
