Note: FY22 loss reflects the Covid-hit truck cycle; share count doubled after the 2025 1:1 bonus, so older per-share prices are not comparable; Defence is a small share of revenue

Where it fits
Builds the trucks and specialist vehicles that move and support the Army: high-mobility trucks, recovery vehicles, mine layers, CBRN reconnaissance vehicles and truck-mounted bridges such as Sarvatra.
Why it matters
The 7 Sep 2026 DAC approved high-mobility vehicles, self-propelled mine layers, CBRN recce vehicles, trawl tanks and the Sarvatra bridge system. BEML is Sarvatra's prime manufacturer (supported by L&T), so this approval maps directly to listed companies.
Where the value pool sits
Steady, volume-driven orders with modest margins. For truck makers defence is a small share of revenue; for BEML it is a core segment alongside mining and rail.
Key drivers
Army mobility and engineering modernisation
Replacement of ageing truck fleets
Bridging and mine-warfare needs along the borders
Potential bottlenecks
Imported chassis or drivetrains on some specialist vehicles
