Its reported order pipeline is around ₹72,258 crore, giving strong visibility. The Financial Express Motilal Oswal has identified BEL as its preferred defence stock following the ₹1.10 lakh crore procurement announcement. The Financial Express BEL closed around ₹410.55 on 8 September, after trading between ₹406.50–₹416.00.
