BHEL Enhances Ranipet’s Healthcare with Medical Equipment Donation
Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has strengthened Tamil Nadu’s healthcare infrastructure by donating critical medical equipment to government hospitals in Ranipet. The CSR initiative includes ventilators, patient monitors, and oxygen concentrators to improve emergency and diagnostic care for local communities.

– Save lives with advanced ventilators for critical respiratory cases.
– Improve diagnostics through real-time patient monitoring systems.
– Expand access to oxygen therapy in rural and urban PHCs.
The handover ceremony included Tamil Nadu Health Department officials and BHEL executives, who reiterated the company’s commitment to public health.

BHEL’s Broader CSR Commitment
Beyond healthcare, BHEL actively supports education, water access, and rural development across India. This aligns with national goals to enhance public health via corporate partnerships.
Future Implications
