New Delhi – Defence public sector stocks like Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL), Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL), and Bharat Dynamics Ltd (BDL) are back in the investor spotlight after the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) cleared capital acquisition proposals worth approximately ₹67,000 crore.

The market sentiment turned selectively bullish, with BEL shares rising 1.02% intraday following the announcement, reflecting optimism about fresh orders and robust order inflows. While HAL and BDL saw only marginal movements, analysts suggest the long-term impact of the approvals could be significant across the defence PSU space.

Key Projects Driving Stock Sentiment

BEL (Bharat Electronics Ltd)

BEL is expected to benefit directly from:

  • Upgrade of BrahMos Fire Control Systems & Launchers
  • Upgradation of BARAK-1 Point Defence Missile System
  • Mountain Radar systems for IAF
  • Electronic warfare components and integration work

BEL, a market leader in defence electronics, could see a boost in its already strong order book (over ₹80,000 crore as per last filings), given its capabilities in radar, missile systems, and integrated command systems.

HAL (Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd)

HAL’s role in future procurement of:

  • Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) drones
  • Long-term sustainment and maintenance contracts
  • Support for transport fleets like C-130J and C-17

HAL is also seen as a potential integrator and local manufacturing partner for imported platforms, strengthening its strategic value in aerial systems.

BDL (Bharat Dynamics Ltd)

BDL stands to gain from:

  • Upgrades to missile platforms like BARAK-1
  • Continued focus on indigenous missile production and anti-submarine capabilities
  • Expansion in torpedo and tactical weapon system manufacturing

Its deep involvement in missile subsystems and naval defence platforms makes it a key player in several components of the DAC-approved proposals.

Stock Market Reaction

  • BEL: +1.02% as of the last session, on positive sentiment around electronic systems and radar orders.
  • HAL & BDL: Slight dip/sluggish trade, likely due to broader market consolidation, but long-term outlook remains strong.

Market experts suggest that these proposals, once converted to contracts, could translate into strong revenue visibility for the next 2–3 years for defence PSUs.

Strategic Highlights of the DAC Clearance

  • Thermal Imager-based Driver Night Sight for BMP vehicles (Army) – Enhances night-mobility.
  • Compact Autonomous Surface Craft (Navy) – Boosts anti-submarine warfare capabilities.
  • Barak-1 Upgrades & BrahMos Launchers (Navy) – Enhances ship defence and strike capabilities.
  • Mountain Radars & SPYDER Upgrades (IAF) – Improves high-altitude air surveillance.
  • MALE RPAs for Tri-Services – Long-range, armed drone systems for real-time surveillance and engagement.
  • Maintenance Contracts for C-130J, C-17, and S-400 systems – Sustained revenue stream for HAL and logistics partners.

Investor Outlook

With the government maintaining focus on ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ (self-reliant India) and indigenous defence manufacturing, these approvals provide clear growth visibility for PSU defence majors.

Market analysts note:

The DAC clearance strengthens the long-term business pipeline for BEL, HAL, and BDL. Execution and timely contract conversions will be key triggers for stock re-rating.”

Defence remains a strategic sector for the government, with over ₹1.8 lakh crore budgeted for capital acquisitions in FY26. These PSUs are well-positioned to benefit from this structural opportunity.
