This sector of the industry developed only after independence. Before that the country totally depended on imports. Heavy engineering industry produces capital goods and consumer durables and its products can be put into the following categories—industrial machinery or capital goods, power generation equipment, transport equipment, rail equipment, aircraft building and ship building.
Industrial Machinery:
These units produce capital goods for the iron and steel industry, fertiliser industry, mining, construction machinery, sugar industry, textile industry, agricultural machinery, tractors, pumps, diesel engines, etc.
The setting up of the Heavy Engineering Corporation (HEC) at Ranchi in 1958 gave a major boost to the heavy engineering industry in India. The HEC has three projects— the heavy machine building plant, the heavy machine tool plant and the foundry forge plant.
Besides meeting the requirements of the steel industry, the corporation also produces heavy crushing and grinding equipment, crane equipment, rolling mill equipment, mining equipment, press forging equipment, oil-well drilling rigs, etc.
