As quoted in the press release of BHEL (NSE Exchange Filings), In a disclosure to the exchanges on September 25th, the company said that its Board of Directors was informed to take note of the Department of Investment and Public Asset Management's (DIPAM) decision to reject the proposal for a joint venture with REC Power Development and Consultancy Limited (RECPDCL) during a Board of Directors meeting held on the same day.
As we announced in March 2024, the joint venture was designed to provide a dedicated special purpose vehicle (SPV) that would develop large-scale renewable energy projects in India on a partnership basis. However, there has been a decision that effectively ends that proposal and forces BHEL to revisit its renewable strategy.

DIPAM has declined to approve BHEL’s proposed joint venture with RECPDCL.
The MoU, signed in March 2024, targeted renewable energy project development.
BHEL will need to explore alternative partnerships or project routes.
The company has recently secured an order worth ₹22.87 crore from Indian Railways.
BHEL share price stands at ₹234.60 per share on the BSE as of September 25, 2025, at 15:30 PM IST, declining 0.61%.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between BHEL and RECPDCL, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of REC Ltd, to speed up India’s clean energy transition. The proposed SPV would have utilized BHEL’s engineering capabilities and the financial and power sector expertise of REC. The objective of the partnership was to support renewable capacity targets – utility-scale solar and wind projects - set by the Government of India.
In light of the rejection, BHEL now must search for new partnership opportunities to enable it to remain relevant in the renewable energy actives. This example also highlights the growing scrutiny surrounding public sector joint ventures, especially in important sectors.
BHEL is still expanding its order book despite the snag. On September 11, 2025, the company obtained a Letter of Intent from South Western Railway of the Indian Railways for a ₹22.87 crore work (inclusive of GST) contract for the design, development, supply, installation, and commissioning of On-board KAVACH equipment in locomotives and other associated trackside systems.
BHEL’s sustained engagement in domestic infrastructure projects is indicative of supporting India's endeavor in the transportation safety technology space.

Purpose | Joint renewable project development via SPV |

This is important if you are monitoring BHEL share price, or are long or short the stock. The rejection is an inconvenience for future renewable expansion, although existing work on the recently won projects is still occurring. The future renewable strategy from the company may include acquiring new partners or developing a new business structure to link what it will be in the future with regulation that exists today.
