BEML shares jump over 3% after securing Rs 405 crore contract from Bengaluru Metro Rail

BEML shares jumped 3.5% in early trade to their day’s high of Rs 3243.90 on the BSE on Friday after the company secured a Rs 405 crore contract from Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation for manufacturing, supplying, and launching standard gauge metro cars.

The contract also includes training personnel and providing comprehensive maintenance for up to 15 years under the Bengaluru Metro Rail Project, according to an exchange filing on Thursday.

The stock remains in focus after Motilal Oswal Financial Mutual Fund acquired a stake in BEML through block deals on Thursday, March 27.


Motilal Oswal MF purchased 2.66 lakh shares at an average price of ₹3,048.3 per share, according to data released last evening.

Stock exchange data shows that Motilal Oswal did not hold more than a 1% stake in BEML at the end of the December quarter, which could explain why its name was not included in the earlier shareholding pattern.

Other mutual funds holding stakes in BEML include Invesco, Kotak Mahindra Bank, HDFC Small Cap Fund, and ICICI Prudential, with holdings ranging from 1.83% to 6.15% as of the December quarter.
