Bharat Electronics share price drops 6% after missing FY25 order inflow target

Shares of Bharat Electronics Ltd. (BEL) declined 6% to Rs 274.5 in Wednesday's intraday trade on BSE after the company reported lower-than-expected order inflows for the financial year 2025.

Despite the shortfall, BEL’s revenue growth for the year surpassed its own projections.

In an exchange filing on April 1, BEL disclosed that it secured orders worth Rs 18,715 crore in FY25, falling short of its projected Rs 25,000 crore. However, the company reported a provisional turnover of Rs 23,000 crore, reflecting a 16% increase from FY24’s Rs 19,820 crore. This exceeded BEL’s forecasted 15% revenue growth for the year.

Some of the major orders received during the year, include the BMP II Upgrade, Ashwini Radar, Software Defined Radios, Data Link, Multi-Function Radars, EON 51, among other projects in the non-defence sector as well.
