BEL is Nifty’s top performer: Here’s what’s driving the surge

Bharat Electronics’ share price rose 3.2% to an intra-day high of Rs 285.80 on the National Stock Exchange. It was the top gainer in the Nifty 50. The stock is 19% away from its 52-week high of Rs 340.50. The surge in stock price came after the company received Rs 2,463 crore order for Ashwini Radars from the Indian Air Force.

After this order, BEL’s orderbook stands at a total of Rs 17,030 crore in the current financial year. “Navratna Defence Public Sector Undertaking, Bharat Electronics (BEL), has signed a contract with Ministry of Defence valued at Rs 2,463 Crore (excluding taxes) for supply and services of Ashwini Radars.
