Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) shares are in focus today as Indian defence forces gear up to place large-scale orders for the Indo-Russian BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles, following their critical role in Operation Sindoor.
According to top defence sources cited by ANI, a high-level Defence Ministry meeting is expected to soon greenlight procurement of BrahMos missiles across platforms—including for the Indian Navy’s Veer-class warships and the Indian Air Force’s Su-30MKI fighter jets. Ground-based variants are also set to be inducted, enhancing India’s strike capabilities on multiple fronts.
These upcoming orders come on the heels of BrahMos missiles playing a decisive role in the four-day conflict with Pakistan. During Operation Sindoor, the Indian Air Force used BrahMos extensively to target terror infrastructure and military bases deep inside Pakistani territory, delivering high-precision strikes on key assets belonging to terror groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba.
The Indian Navy also deployed the missiles effectively, further underlining their versatility and combat readiness.
In a recent statement, Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded the role of indigenous weapon systems, particularly BrahMos, in boosting India’s defence posture. “During Operation Sindoor, the world saw the capabilities of our indigenous weapons. Our Air Defence Systems, missiles, and drones have proved the strength of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’, especially the BrahMos missiles,” he said.
With BDL being a key manufacturer of the BrahMos missile system, market analysts expect the company to benefit significantly from the upcoming deals, potentially impacting its stock performance in the short to mid term.
