Bharat Electronics Limited

Domain knowledge, the capability to design and manufacture products that suit the exacting
standards of the Indian Defence Forces and long-term customer support make up the core
competence of Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), a name that’s synonymous with defence electronics
in India.

Guided by a vision to make the country self-reliant in strategic electronics, BEL was established in
Bangalore in 1954 by the Government of India under the Ministry of Defence (MoD). Starting with the
manufacture of a few communication products, BEL now designs and manufactures a host of
products in the areas of Military Communication, Radars, Naval Systems, Weapon Systems, C4I
Systems, Electronic Warfare, Avionics, Tank Electronics, Electro Optics, Shelters, Telecom &
Broadcast, Professional Electronic Components and Solar Photovoltaic Systems.

A Navratna Public Sector Undertaking BEL is India’s foremost defence electronics company. While
defence continues to contribute to nearly 80 to 85% of the Company’s revenue, BEL has expanded its
horizons beyond defence electronics and touched a chord with the common man through civilian
products like the Electronic Voting Machines, Tablet PC and solar-powered traffic signalling systems
and solar power systems.

... BEL offers wide range of

BEL has extensive design and manufacturing infrastructure and a highly skilled workforce spread over
its 9 Units located across the country. The Company maintains its technological leadership with
strong in-house R&D at all its Units, backed by two Central Research Laboratories, and in association
with DRDO & other leading defence labs.
products, systems and solutions
BEL exports its products and services to various countries. BEL has seven AS9100 certified Strategic
Business Units, which can cater to the offset requirements of defence and aerospace majors. The
Company offers electronic manufacturing facilities on ‘Build to Print’ and ‘Build to to its valued customers ...
