BHEL receives 10 bids for washery venture

April 23: More than 10 coal washery operators from India and abroad have shown interest in partnering state-owned BHEL for the latter's coal washery venture, a company source told ICMW.

"We have already received more than 10 bids so far from both overseas and Indian players," the source said.
In March 2014, BHEL had invited expressions of interest (EoI) from reputed players to select a partner for setting up coal washery projects. The bids will be opened on April 29.

BHEL plans to set up coal washeries for both coking and non-coking coal on EPC/turnkey/BOM basis. The bidders should have experience in setting up coal washery/ore beneficiation plant of at least 2.5 million tons per annum (mtpa), the company said.
