Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL), India’s premier defence electronics PSU, has delivered a blockbuster March quarter, beating analyst expectations on both revenue and profit. The company’s consolidated revenue from operations surged to ₹91.5 billion, outpacing the IBES estimate of ₹89.61 billion, while net profit soared to ₹21.27 billion, far ahead of the projected ₹17.68 billion.
 
Key Highlights:
  • Earnings Beat: Q4 consolidated revenue reached ₹91.5 billion, up 32% year-on-year, and net profit jumped 30% to ₹21.27 billion, both well above consensus estimates. This performance underscores BEL’s strong execution and robust demand for its defence electronics solutions.
  • Order Wins and Pipeline: BEL secured new orders worth ₹572 crore in the quarter, including cutting-edge Integrated Drone Detection and Interdiction Systems, software-defined radios, and AI-driven naval solutions. The company’s total order book stands at a formidable ₹71,650 crore, providing multi-year revenue visibility.
  • Stock Performance: BEL shares rallied to a 52-week high of ₹373.50, reflecting a 22% gain in just seven trading sessions and over 24% growth in 2025. The stock’s bullish momentum is fueled by strong results, order inflows, and India’s push for defence indigenisation.
  • Dividend Outlook: The Board is set to announce a final dividend for FY25, following a consistent track record of multiple payouts per year, further enhancing shareholder value.
  • Growth Drivers: BEL’s 16% annual revenue growth for FY25, expanding export sales, and a diversified product mix position it as a leader in India’s defence manufacturing boom. The company remains focused on execution, cost efficiencies, and leveraging technology for future growth.
  • BEL’s Q4 results not only reinforce its market leadership but also signal continued momentum as India accelerates its defence modernisation drive.
