Bharat Electronics Limited Opens Engineer Recruitment and Sees 1% Share Rise on Defence Momentum

Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) issued a recruitment notice for 14 Project Engineer positions across sites in Rajasthan and Gujarat. Eligible candidates must hold a BE/BTech/BSc in electronics or computer‑science disciplines, have at least two years of relevant experience, and be under 32 years of age. The walk‑in selection is scheduled for 11 August 2026, with pre‑registration closing at 09:00 AM on the same day.

On the same day, BEL’s shares climbed 1 % to ₹388.75 in intraday trading, buoyed by broader defence‑sector optimism and the company’s Q1 FY27 results. Revenue rose 25.3 % year‑on‑year to ₹5,533.06 crore and net profit increased 8.7 % to ₹1,054.53 crore, although EBITDA margin fell short of expectations. The firm’s order book remains strong at roughly ₹72,258 crore, and a consortium with L&T has advanced its commercial framework for India’s Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) programme. Recent successful flight tests of the indigenous Kusha long‑range air‑defence missile further reinforced market sentiment.
