Beml share: BEML Ltd, a leading government company in the defense sector, has received a major order from the Ministry of Defense.
BEML Ltd has informed the stock exchanges that it has received a significant work order worth approximately ₹110 crore from the Ministry of Defense.
This order is part of the company's regular business activities, under which BEML is to supply engines to the Ministry of Defense.
The company's order book stood at Rs 16,342 crore.
This order further strengthens the company's overall order book. Data shows that the company's order book reached ₹16,342 crore as of H1 FY26. This is the highest level in BEML's history.
For any infrastructure or defense company, having such a large order book provides a clear picture of future earnings, boosting investor confidence.
BEML has a strong hold in these areas as well
Common investors often view BEML solely as a defense company, but its business is quite diverse. The defense and aerospace sectors contribute approximately 40% of the company's revenue.
Mining and construction, meanwhile, generate the largest revenue, at 43%. Additionally, rail and metro projects contribute 17% of its total revenue.
BEML is one of the few engineering companies in the country that not only manufactures high mobility vehicles for the Indian Army, but also manufactures coaches for metro trains and Indian Railways.
The company's reach can be gauged from the fact that it has exported its equipment to 73 countries worldwide. Recently, the company designed a motor grader for SECL and inducted the modern MMME Mk-II into the Indian Army's fleet, demonstrating its technological capabilities.
The stock has performed exceptionally well
From an investment perspective, BEML has proven to be a multibagger. It hasn't disappointed long-term investors. Over the past five years, this government stock has delivered returns of over 331% to its investors, which is many times higher than fixed deposits or other traditional investments. On Tuesday, the stock also reached a high of Rs 1,742.60 on the back of the news.
However, the company's recent financial results have been somewhat mixed. In the second quarter (Q2) of fiscal year 2026, revenue declined slightly, falling 2% to ₹839 crore. Profitability also experienced some pressure. Net profit fell 6% year-on-year to ₹48 crore.
