Possible Transfer for HEC
Representatives of the Bharatiya Janata Party in Ranchi met with the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, to request the transfer of Heavy Engineering Corp (HEC) to the Department of Atomic Energy. Deputies Sanjay Seth (Ranchi), Annapurna Devi (Koderma) and Sunil Soren (Jamshedpur) advocated that HEC is playing an essential role in the industrial development of India. HEC is the only organization in India, manufacturing heavy nuclear equipment.
A high-level committee set up by the Policy Commission has sent a technical report to the Government for the revival of HEC and its modernization.
