For non- BHEL products, services and spares are not easily available and if they are, the price
charged is very high.

Sound financial position in terms of profitability and solvency.

Low debt equity ratio (even lower than 0.5:1) for all the years under study, enabling
company to raise capital.

Weaknesses

Difficulty in keeping up the commitments on the product delivery and desired sequence
of supplies.
Larger delivery cycles in comparison with international suppliers of similar equipment.
Inability to provide suppliers credit, soft loans and financing of power projects.
Lack of effective marketing infrastructure
Due to poor financial position of state electricity boards, which are the major customers
of BHEL in India, liquidity position of BHEL is not satisfactory.
Being a public sector company BHEL is suffering from sub optimality of control due to:

1.

Displacement of social objectives by political objectives, which may lead to

redundant costs and also rising costs.

2.

Direct political intervention in managerial decision over an arm length relationship

that would restrict governments task of setting appropriate managerial incentive
structure.

3.
4.

Private goals that lead to budget growth and employment growth.

Internal inefficiencies in bureaucratic activity.

Opportunities

Demand for power and hence plant equipment is expected to grow.

Private sector power plants to offer expanded market as utilities suffers resource crunch.
Ageing power plants would give rise to more spares and services business.
Life expansion program for old power stations
Export opportunities
Easy processing of joint ventures/ collaboration/import/ acquisition of new technology.
Financial and operational autonomy for profit making public sector enterprises.
To make the public sector more efficient, government has decided to grant enhanced autonomy
and delegation of powers to the profit making public sector enterprises.

Threat

Increased competition both national and international.

Multilateral agencies reluctant to lend to power sector because of poor financial
management of S.E.Bs
More concessions to private sector and not to government owned utilities like NTPC or
S.E.Bs, so future power projects would be opened up in private sector.
Level playing ground not available, foreign companies spending much more on business
promotion tactics.
