Bharat Dynamics Stock Hits New High, Doubles From March Low On Strong Orders & Exports

Mumbai: Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) hit a new high of Rs 1,821.95 on Wednesday. The stock rose 4 per cent in one day and has jumped 27 per cent in the last week alone. From its March 2025 low of Rs 908.90, the stock has doubled in value. This sharp rise comes as the broader market (BSE Sensex) gained just 1 per cent in the same period.

Strong Order Book in FY25

BDL has secured large orders in the current financial year. In FY25, it received orders worth Rs 6,668 crore. As of April 1, 2025, BDL’s total order book stands at Rs 22,700 crore. These figures are provisional and unaudited but show strong business growth.

Record Export Growth

BDL recorded its highest ever export turnover of over Rs 1,200 crore in FY25. This is a huge rise from Rs 161 crore in the previous year—over 640 per cent growth. BDL mainly supplies the Indian armed forces, but it is now focusing on foreign markets too.

Focus on Export Markets

With help from the Indian government, BDL is now looking to expand exports. It has set up a special export cell within its Business Development Division. This team finds new markets and helps process export deals. Many friendly countries have shown interest in BDL’s weapons systems.

Key Products for Export

BDL is seeing demand for many of its defence products, including:

- Akash Weapon System

- Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGMs)

- Astra (Air-to-Air Missile)

- Helina (Air-to-Surface Missile)

- Smart Anti-Airfield Weapon

- Light & Heavy Weight Torpedoes

Counter Measures Systems

The Indian government recently approved the export of the Akash Weapon System to nine countries. This decision is expected to further boost BDL’s global orders.

Growing Indian Defence Exports

India’s defence exports reached Rs 21,000 crore in FY24, a 33 per cent jump from the previous year. The target is Rs 30,000 crore by FY26. With the EU planning a major $850 billion defence spend, Indian defence firms, including BDL, could benefit greatly. This includes export opportunities for subsystems and components to EU defence companies.
