In a stock exchange filing on Friday (June 20), BEL said the new orders include fire control systems, missile sighting systems, communication equipment, jammers, critical spares, and associated services.
This follows BEL's strategic partnership with Tata Electronics, announced on June 6. The two firms signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to jointly pursue opportunities in semiconductors and advanced electronics, including chip design, OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test), and fabrication. The move aligns with India's push for self-reliance in high-tech manufacturing.Earlier, on June 4, BEL had announced Rs 537 crore worth of new contracts for advanced communication systems, shipborne equipment, jammers, simulators, and other defence electronics.
That was followed by a major Rs 2,323 crore order from Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders and Garden Reach Shipbuilders for base and depot spares to support missile systems on Indian Navy vessels.
ADVERTISEMENT With these wins, BEL's total order inflow for June now stands at nearly Rs 3,500 crore, reinforcing its key role in India's defence and aerospace ecosystem.
ADVERTISEMENT According to Trendlyne, the average analyst target for BEL is Rs 405, suggesting a slight downside of about 1% from current levels.
