Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL), a key player in India’s defence electronics sector, saw its share price climb by 1.17 per cent to Rs 368 during Tuesday’s trading session, amid heavy volumes and bullish investor sentiment. The uptick was supported by the company’s consistent quarterly performance, including a strong revenue of Rs 9,149.59 crore and net profit of Rs 2,121.01 crore in the March 2025 quarter, Moneycontrol reported.
BEL’s performance is closely watched as the stock is part of major Indian indices such as NIFTY 50 and NIFTY 100. The surge in trade volume indicates intensified buying interest, with Moneycontrol attributing the bullish outlook to the company’s solid fundamentals.
