Good to see BHEL bouncing back from a loss to profit. But as a taxpayer, I hope this profit is also reinvested into R&D and modernizing their plants. We need them to compete globally, not just pay dividends.

NSIC, HLL, and now BHEL... multiple PSUs paying healthy dividends. This is the result of better management and the government's focus on operational efficiency. Aatmanirbhar Bharat in action!

The turnaround from a Rs 455 crore loss to a Rs 375 crore profit in one quarter is impressive. Shows what focused leadership can do. Hope this momentum continues for BHEL's employees and stakeholders.

While the dividend is welcome, we must remember BHEL's core mission is to build India's industrial and power infrastructure. The minister's advice is correct - focus on 'Make in India' and cutting-edge technology. The dividends will follow.
