BHEL has started supplying semi-high-speed underslung traction converters for the Vande Bharat Sleeper Train project, marking a flag-off ceremony at its Bengaluru plant. The project is being executed by a BHEL-led consortium with Titagarh Rail Systems (TRSL), with converters being dispatched to Kolkata for final train assembly. BHEL has also developed traction motors and transformers for these trains at its Bhopal and Jhansi units, making it a fully indigenous propulsion system. The converters support speeds up to 160 kmph (design speed 176 kmph) and use advanced IGBT-based technology. This marks BHEL's strategic entry into the semi-high-speed rail propulsion segment, reinforcing its 'Make in India' credentials in the rail transportation sector.
Positive for BHEL as it demonstrates execution capability on a prestigious government-backed rail project and opens a new growth segment in semi-high-speed propulsion. No specific order value or revenue impact was disclosed in the filing.
