With the latest announcement of fresh orders worth ₹973 crore, Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) has increased its entire order book for the fiscal year 2025 to ₹9,801 crore. This news comes after BEL revealed on December 9, 2024, that it had secured more contracts totaling ₹634 crore since November 8, 2024.
BEL’s stock increased by about 1.15% after this statement, closing at ₹294.25 on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). At now, the market valuation of the company is approximately ₹2.15 lakh crore. BEL’s stock has produced remarkable returns over the last 12 months, rising by 68%.
Notwithstanding this encouraging improvement, BEL’s current order intake only amounts to roughly 40% of its FY25 full-year forecast target of ₹25,000 crore. In the second half of the fiscal year, analysts are still hopeful that BEL would be able to gain further orders.
