  • The company’s order book now stands at a staggering ₹71,650 crore as of April 2025, underlining its dominant role in India’s defence sector.

  • The company’s shares have surged over 30% in the last six months, riding high on a wave of strong order inflows and investor confidence.

  • These orders come on the heels of BEL’s earlier ₹2,210 crore contract for Electronic Warfare Suites, showcasing its growing portfolio in advanced defence technology.

  • The government’s focus on self-reliance and ‘Make in India’ is driving demand for BEL’s indigenous solutions, reinforcing India’s defence preparedness amid evolving security challenges.
