State-run engineering firm BHEL on Monday said it has invited expression of interest from global original equipment manufacturing (OEM) firms to leverage its facilities as well as capabilities and to shift their production base to India amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
There are a large number of OEM firms who intend to shift their manufacturing base from China to other countries after the COVID-19 outbreak, said an industry expert adding that India must leverage its capabilities to facilitate those.
“In order to further promote Make in India and support international companies for setting up manufacturing in India, BHEL has floated an Expression of Interest (EOI) inviting global companies to partner with it and leverage its facilities and capabilities for setting up a manufacturing base in the country,” a BHEL statement said.
