New Delhi, Sep 29: Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) has secured fresh orders worth Rs 1,092 crore since September 16, the company said in a stock exchange filing on Monday.
The major contracts include upgrades for electronic warfare systems and defence networks, tank subsystems, transmit/receive modules, communication equipment, electronic voting machines, as well as spares and services.
With these contracts, BEL has once again shifted its focus to the defence sector, after its earlier disclosure showed that a majority of its orders were coming from clients in the information technology space.
In the exchange filing, the Navratna defence PSU confirmed the new orders, noting that they would strengthen its role in India’s strategic electronics sector.
“Navratna defence public sector undertaking, Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), has secured additional orders worth Rs.1092 Crore since the last disclosure on September 16,” the company said.
