State-run power equipment maker BHEL today said its cash position is comfortable, but if the government wants to divest further equity through a follow-on public offer it could be done next fiscal.     

"We are a cash-surplus company, but if the government wants to bring out an FPO (follow-on public offer), they can, but I think only in the next financial year," BHEL Chairman and Managing Director K Ravi Kumar told reporters.     

He added the company has received orders worth Rs 10,000 crore during the April-June quarter.
