BEL shares rise after securing Rs 569 crore worth of defence orders since last disclosure

Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) shares rose nearly 1% to their day’s high of Rs 396.90 on the BSE on Tuesday, December 30, after the Navratna Defence PSU announced that it had secured additional orders worth Rs 569 crore since its last disclosure on December 12.

The orders pertain to a wide range of defence and strategic products including radars, tank overhaul, communication equipment, fire control systems, simulators, antenna stabilization systems, security software, components, upgrades, spares, and services.

“Navratna Defence Public Sector Undertaking, Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), has secured additional orders worth Rs. 569 Crore since the last disclosure on 12th Dec 2025.

This development adds to BEL’s growing order book, reaffirming its central role in India’s defence manufacturing ecosystem. The new orders come at a time when the broader sector is witnessing increased policy and procurement momentum.

In another development, the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, on Monday, approved proposals amounting to approximately Rs 79,000 crore, which is likely to boost the sentiment in the defence sector.
