What Is The Execution Timeline For The Contracts?

According to the company, the orders will be executed over a period of two to five years.

BDL is one of India's key defence manufacturers and is primarily engaged in producing missiles and allied defence systems for the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force. The company reported a challenging fourth quarter in FY26. Its net profit fell 58.5% year-on-year to ₹113 crore, compared with ₹273 crore in the corresponding period last year.
