The Navratna Defence PSU’s profit after tax (PAT) increased 8.17% to ₹1,048.33 crore, reflecting sustained demand in the defence electronics sector. The company’s order book stood at ₹72,258 crore as of July 1, 2026, providing significant revenue visibility for future quarters.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results on July 27, 2026, in compliance with Regulations 30 and 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The results were reviewed by statutory auditors Rao & Emmar Chartered Accountants under Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410. Additionally, the Board approved a proposal to increase the company’s authorised share capital from ₹750 crore to ₹1,000 crore, subject to shareholder approval at the ensuing Annual General Meeting.

Financial Highlights

Figures in ₹ Crore unless specified otherwise.

Standalone other income rose to ₹167.39 crore from ₹163.62 crore in the corresponding period last year. Total expenses amounted to ₹4,297.62 crore, compared to ₹3,291.21 crore in Q1FY25. The increase in expenses was primarily due to higher cost of materials consumed, which stood at ₹3,035.88 crore against ₹1,949.88 crore previously. Employee benefits expense also increased to ₹786.44 crore from ₹690.19 crore.

In the consolidated results, revenue from operations reached ₹5,546.98 crore, up from ₹4,439.74 crore in Q1FY25. Consolidated PAT attributable to owners of the company was ₹1,054.34 crore, compared to ₹969.91 crore in the prior year. The group recorded a share of net profit from associates of ₹10.63 crore.

Dividend and Capital Structure

The Board had previously recommended a final dividend of 55% (₹0.55 per share) for FY25, in addition to an interim dividend of 195% (₹1.95 per share). Both dividends are subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting. The proposal to increase authorised share capital involves splitting existing shares, raising the limit from 750 crore equity shares of ₹1 each to 1,000 crore equity shares of ₹1 each.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between revenue growth (25.27%) and profit before tax growth (8.81%) indicates margin compression during the quarter. While top-line expansion was driven by strong order execution, the cost of materials consumed grew disproportionately at over 55% year-on-year. This suggests that input cost inflation or changes in the product mix may be impacting operating leverage. However, the massive order book of ₹72,258 crore provides a strong buffer for future revenue realization, mitigating near-term growth concerns.

Subsidiary and Associate Performance

The consolidated results include two subsidiaries: Bel Optronics Devices Limited and Bel-Thales Systems Limited. Two associates, Ge Be Private Limited and Bel Iai Aerosystems Private Limited, are accounted for using the equity method. The auditors noted that the interim financial results of two subsidiaries, with total revenues of ₹623.00 lakh and a net loss of ₹46.40 lakh for the quarter, were reviewed by other auditors. The group’s share of comprehensive income from associates was ₹106.70 lakh, which management stated is not material to the group.
