**BEL Share Price Soars to Record High Following Drone Interdiction Claim During India-Pakistan Tension**
**Mumbai, India** – Shares of Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), a Navratna PSU under the Indian Defense Ministry, surged to a new 52-week and record high of ₹345.90 during intraday trading on Wednesday. This surge followed a tweet from the company claiming its “Integrated Drone Detection & Interdiction System” successfully neutralized several low Radar Cross-Section (RCS) drones belonging to Pakistan during “Operation Sindoor”.
BEL stated that the laser-based anti-drone system has proven to be a “game-changer for India’s Air Defence.”
The defence sector remains in focus amidst heightened India-Pakistan tension and “Operation Sindoor.” Furthermore, the government’s emphasis on “Atmanirbhar Bharat” (self-reliant India) has cast a spotlight on domestic defense companies like BEL.
BEL’s share price opened at ₹339 on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), nearly 1% higher than the previous day’s closing. The stock then climbed further, gaining over 3% during intraday trading. Over the past month, BEL shares have risen by more than 17%, and nearly 50% in the last year, providing multibagger returns to investors.
BEL, established in 1954, plays a crucial role in India’s defense sector, producing a wide array of electronic systems and equipment for the Army, Navy, and Air Force. The company has also expanded into areas such as space electronics, e-governance, smart cities, and homeland security.
