BHEL commences supply of Traction Transformers for Vande Bharat Sleeper Train Project
BHEL has commenced supplying underslung traction transformers for the Vande Bharat Sleeper Train project. The transformers are designed for speeds up to 160 kmph. BHEL's Bhopal unit manufactures the Traction Motor, and the Jhansi plant has secured an order for Rail Borne Maintenance Vehicles (RBMVs).
The supply of critical components for the Vande Bharat Sleeper Train project is a significant achievement for BHEL, showcasing its capabilities in the rail transportation sector. The new order for RBMVs further diversifies its product portfolio. While positive, the direct financial impact is not quantified in the announcement, leading to a medium impact assessment.
The announcement highlights BHEL's successful commencement of supply for a prestigious national project (Vande Bharat Sleeper Train) and securing a new order for specialized railway equipment, aligning with 'Make in India' initiatives. This indicates positive business development and operational progress.
Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has commenced the supply of underslung traction transformers for the Vande Bharat Sleeper Train project. A flag-off ceremony was held at BHEL's Jhansi plant where Ms. Bani Varma, Director (IS&P), BHEL, and Shri S. M. Ramanathan, Director (E, R&D), BHEL, virtually flagged off the first set of transformers.
Earlier, Traction Converters for the same project were flagged off from BHEL’s Bengaluru plant. This development marks BHEL's strategic entry into the semi-high-speed propulsion segment, with these transformers designed for operational speeds up to 160 kmph and a design speed of 180 kmph. The transformers are being dispatched to Kolkata for the final assembly of the Vande Bharat Sleeper Trains. Additionally, BHEL's Bhopal unit has developed and manufactured the Traction Motor, another key propulsion system equipment.
Furthermore, BHEL-Jhansi has received an order for Rail Borne Maintenance Vehicles (RBMV), a part of the specialized rolling stock segment. These RBMVs, used for railway track maintenance, will be manufactured domestically at the Jhansi plant, aligning with the 'Make in India' and 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' initiatives.
