Industrial Systems Group: divisions and scope
Industrial Systems Group (ISG) is the Bengaluru-based arm of Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) that handles industrial, non-utility business: from drives and controls to compressors and material handling. This guide explains what the group does and why it matters to industrial buyers in India.
What ISG covers
While BHEL's power-plant divisions serve utilities, ISG serves process industries: steel, cement, mining, oil and gas, paper, sugar and transport. The portfolio spans electrical machines, mechanical packages and complete system integration for industrial plants.
| Segment | Typical supplies |
|---|---|
| Drives & automation | AC/DC drives, controls, switchgear |
| Compressors | Centrifugal and axial compressors for process plants |
| Material handling | Conveyors, stacker-reclaimers, wagon tipplers |
| Transmission | Transformers, reactive power systems |
| Rail & transport | Traction equipment and systems |
Why buyers shortlist ISG
- Single-window execution: electrics, mechanics and controls under one contract.
- Indian manufacturing base: shorter lead times and local service.
- Public-sector track record: decades of references in steel and mining majors.
- Lifecycle support: spares, refurbishment and service contracts.
How engagement usually starts
For private buyers the entry point is a technical enquiry; for public procurement it is the tender route through the vendor portal. In both cases the early steps are the same: define the duty, share the data sheet, and ask for a budgetary offer before the detailed engineering stage. The sections of this site walk through tenders, vendor registration and product lines in detail.
