Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) announced on Tuesday that it has bagged a major order for a sulphur recovery unit from IOCL against stiff international competitive bidding.
With this order, the company has made an entry into the downstream oil & gas process package business, BHEL said in a regulatory filing.

“The package, valued at over Rs 400 crore, envisages setting up a 525 TPD Sulphur Recovery Unit at IOCL’s Paradip Refinery in Odisha,” BHEL said in a statement. Notably, the company’s diversification strategy into non-coal-based business areas has begun paying dividends. “With the execution of this order, BHEL will establish itself as an LSTK player for process packages in the downstream oil & gas sector,” it said.
