BEL Defence Orders: Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL), a big name in India’s defence sector, just got another huge order. This time, the company has received a contract worth Rs 2,323 crore. The order came from two other government-run defence firms Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Ltd and Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Ltd. BEL will be supplying base and depot spares for missile systems used in Indian Navy warships. These parts are very important because they help keep missile systems running smoothly and ready for action all the time.
This big order came just a day after BEL had announced another set of orders worth Rs 537 crore. That earlier deal included things like upgrades for simulators, new communication systems, jammers, and software.

Both these orders total almost Rs 3,000 crore in just two days, reports Zee Business. The company seems to be moving quickly and the pace of defence buying this year looks strong already.
BEL Defence Orders: Strong Start to FY26
From the beginning of this financial year in April 2025, BEL has already received more than Rs 6,200 crore in orders. That’s nearly one-fourth of what they are aiming to earn in the full year which is Rs 27,000 crore. But if BEL manages to get the very important contract for the Quick Reaction Surface-to-Air Missile (QRSAM) system, then their total orders could shoot up much higher. If that deal goes through, BEL could bring in more than Rs 57,000 crore this year.
That’s over twice as much as their target. This shows that BEL has a clear path and strong chances to do very well this year. It also fits perfectly with the government’s push to make more defence items in India under the ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ plan.

After these order updates, BEL’s stock price shot up and traded close to its daily high of Rs 394.3. In the last one month alone, the stock went up by 25 percent. Since the start of 2025, it has grown by 34 percent, making it the top stock in the Nifty 50 index for this year so far.
