Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, Hyderabad

Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited is a township area in Hyderabad, Telangana. The area saw its development when BHEL started its operations here in 1963. With trees and greeneries around, BHEL is a peaceful community to buy or rent a property. It's also close to the city and its IT hubs like Gachibowli, Hitec city, and Kukatpalli. Buses run from here to all major parts of Hyderabad. Other than connectivity, residents also enjoy 24/7 access to amenities like hospitals, shops, banks, restaurants, and schools. 

All these make BHEL a high-growth area and attract property investors from all over the city. 

Brief Description

You will love how serene and calm BHEL is while also being well-connected through highways and trains. Originally this area was created to accommodate engineers and labourers in BHEL through hostels and quarters. Later, many residential buildings, apartments, and independent houses started developing around the BHEL township. With schools, parks, temples, playgrounds, banks, and markets, this has become the perfect spot for families, retired people, and resident employees of BHEL. Many Hyderabad locals assume that this locality is only for BHEL employees. On contrary, BHEL township has many flats, villas, and independent houses available for rental and ownership at attractive prices.

What’s Great about BHEL

The beauty of BHEL township is its roads which are covered densely with trees on both sides. Anyone who loves to stay in greeny, natural surroundings would find their ideal home here. Due to this, BHEL is low in pollution and has pleasant weather throughout the day. It also has playgrounds, community halls, lake viewpoints, gas agencies, worship places, parking areas, and whatnot. The residents will get everything they need without travelling outside. Metro stations and MMTS subway stations are also located within 10KM surroundings. If you are working in Hitec city or Pathancheru Industrial 

belt, you will find it very easy to reach your office from here. 

What’s Not Great about BHEL

Hyderabad is 28 km away from BHEL; it can take 40 to 50 minutes to reach the central part of Hyderabad like Kachiguda, Hyderguda, or Secundrabad. But if you rely on public transportation like MMTS or the metro stations in Lingampally, you can reach earlier without traffic problems. 

Another major problem which many residents have reported is the weak mobile network signals as this is a green-belt area. Also, there is no public transportation to travel within the township area. You will need to catch an auto or use your vehicle.

Physical Infrastructure and Livability Index

BHEL has good road connectivity within and outside the area that helps with local movement from one place to another. Due to the planned development of this area, navigation within the area is quite easy too.

The major highway of Hyderabad, the Old Mumbai highway passes through BHEL, that attributes to quick commutes with nearby areas and IT belts. Hitec city and Madhapur are only 13.9km from BHEL via Old Mumbai Highway and are reachable via bus, cab, and personal vehicles. This connectivity with nearby regions shows how BHEL has a higher physical infrastructure.

The liveability index of Hyderabad is 27.8 which is higher than many tier 1 and tier 2 cities of India like Ahmedabad, Pune, and Vishakapatnam. This also applies to Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited.
