Parliamentary Panel Assesses Heavy Engineering Corporation Revival in Ranchi
A six-member Parliamentary Standing Committee on Industries, led by Rajya Sabha MP Tiruchi Siva, visited Heavy Engineering Corporation (HEC) Limited in Ranchi to assess its current status and explore revival prospects. The committee, including sub-committee convener Konda Vishweshwar Reddy, met Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren and Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar to discuss future action plans. Established in 1958, HEC has faced losses for most of its 68 years, and the panel aims to evaluate ways to make it profitable despite its aging machinery.
