BEL Share Price Target 2026: Citi has reviewed the performance of defence PSU Bharat Electronics.

Bharat Electronics Share Price Target 2026

The joint venture will serve as a Centre of Excellence for manufacturing, maintenance, repair, overhaul (MRO), and support activities, with the Indian Navy positioned as the anchor customer.

The near-term financial impact from this development is expected to be limited, while the long-term outlook offers positive recurring revenue potential.

The company's order pipeline remains strong, exceeding Rs 1.7 trillion, and defence indigenisation continues to act as a key structural tailwind.

The target price is based on approximately 50 times the estimated September 2027 P/E multiple.

  • Maintains Buy rating with a target price of Rs 525 (unchanged)
  • BEL signs JV with Safran for HAMMER weapon systems (subject to approvals)
  • JV to act as CoE for manufacturing, MRO and support; Navy to be anchor customer
  • Near-term financial impact limited; long-term recurring revenue optionality positive
  • Order pipeline strong (>Rs1.7trn); defence indigenisation remains structural tailwind
  • Target Price based on ~50x Sep'27E P/E
