Currently, BEL's market cap stood at ₹3.03 trillion at the time of writing this report and was at 25th position in the overall market cap ranking of the BSE listed companies.

Secures orders worth of ₹3,445 crore in June 2025
Thus far in the month of June 2025, BEL has secured three orders worth of ₹3,445 crore.
On Friday, June 20, 2025, BEL announced that the company has secured additional orders worth ₹585 crore. Major orders received include fire control and sighting system for missiles, communication equipment, jammers, spares, services etc.
On June 5, BEL said that the company has received orders from Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders (MDL), Mumbai and Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE), Kolkata totally valued at ₹2,323 crore (excluding taxes) for supply of base and depot spares for the missile systems on Indian Naval ships. The spares will ensure operational continuity of onboard mission critical equipment.
On June 4, BEL said it has secured additional orders worth ₹537 crore since the last disclosure on 16 May 2025. Major orders received include communication equipment, advanced composite communication system for ship, jammers, software, simulator upgrades, spares, test rigs, services etc.

Takeaways from FY25 results/FY26 guidance
BEL expects FY26 new orders at ₹ 55,000 crore (₹27,000 crore ex-QRSAM) and minimum revenue growth of 15 per cent with a 27 per cent earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) margin (vs 23-25 per cent FY25 guidance). Capex/R&D was guided at ₹1,000/1,600 crore with 90 per cent of revenue from defence. Revenue growth guidance is a minimum 15-17 per cent and 20 per cent long-term which, in analysts view, reflects improving visibility (exports/higher domestic demand) based on the proven competitive edge post recent developments (combat deployment).
Potential orders for BEL include the QRSAM (Quick Reaction Surface to Air Missile), next-generation corvettes, and spares for the LRSAM (Long-Range Surface-to-Air Missile), Atulya and Shakti electronic warfare systems. The long-term pipeline includes the Akash, Project Kusha air defense system and SDR (software defined radios), largely led by requirements from the army.
With a healthy order backlog, robust pipeline and improving execution led by increasing indigenisation, analysts believe that BEL provides strong earnings visibility. They expect revenue & profit after tax (PAT) compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) at ~17 per cent & ~18 per cent respectively over FY25-27E.
