BEML's ₹294 crore order win

The company secured an order from the Ministry of Defence for the supply of HMV 6x6 vehicles, with a contract value of approximately Rs 293.82 crore, according to an exchange filing on Wednesday. 

 

The vehicles will primarily be manufactured at BEML's Palakkad and Mysore plants, with additional production to be undertaken at other divisions based on operational feasibility. Designed to deliver high reliability and versatility, the 6x6 HMVs are built to operate effectively in extreme terrains, diverse climatic conditions and at high altitudes. 

 

"This order showcases BEML's expertise and capacity in delivering advanced indigenous products that enhance India's defence infrastructure," said Shantanu Roy, chairman and managing director of BEML. 

BEML stock split 

The company said earlier this week that the board of directors has greenlit the proposal for a stock split in the ratio of 1:2. A stock split increases the number of outstanding shares in the market without adjusting the value of an investor's total holdings.
