Bharat Dynamics Reaches 4-Month High with ₹2,960-Crore Order Win

Bharat Dynamics Ltd (BDL) share price have risen significantly, hitting a four-month high of ₹1,344.65, up 5% in Monday’s intra-day trade on the BSE. Over the past 3 days, the stock surged by 19%, fueled by the announcement of a major order worth ₹2,960 crore. This marks the highest level for the stock since September 4, 2024. Previously, the stock reached an all-time high of ₹1,794.70 on July 5, 2024.

New Contract for Medium-Range Surface-to-Air Missiles

On January 16, 2025, BDL revealed that it had secured a contract from the Ministry of Defense (MoD) for the supply of Medium-Range Surface-to-Air Missiles (MRSAM) for the Indian Navy. The deal, valued at ₹2,960 crore, involves MRSAM systems that will be deployed on multiple naval ships and future platforms, reflecting India’s push to strengthen its defence and adopt advanced Indigenous military technology.

Strong Order Pipeline and Growth Potential

With this contract, BDL’s total order intake for FY25 so far has reached ₹3,110 crore, a substantial increase from ₹1,793 crore in FY24. The company’s order backlog stands at an estimated ₹21,000 crore, which is 9.5 times its trailing twelve-month (TTM) revenue, ensuring robust revenue visibility.

Despite recent supply chain disruptions that impacted execution and led to a 19% YoY decline in H1 revenue, BDL continues to have a strong order pipeline, including missiles, torpedoes, sonobuoys, and countermeasure systems.

Strategic Importance and Government Support

BDL plays a key role in India’s defence ecosystem as the primary manufacturer of guided missiles, including Akash surface-to-air and Konkur anti-tank guided missiles. The company benefits from government initiatives to boost domestic weapon production and exports. Strong financial support, including healthy order advances, enhances its ability to expand and innovate.

BDL’s strategic importance, solid order book, and focus on self-reliance position it as a crucial player in India’s defence sector. However, timely execution of orders will be vital for sustaining growth.
