Defence stocks HAL, BDL, BEL gain up to 3% in weak market; here's why
Share price movement of defence companies today Shares of defence companies were trading higher by up to 3 per cent on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) in Friday's intra-day trade in an otherwise weak market amid escalating Israel-Iran tensions. Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL), Bharat Dynamics (BDL), Bharat Electronics (BEL), Astra Microwave Products, Zen Technologies, Paras Defence and Space Technologies, Unimech Aerospace and Manufacturing and DCX Systems from the Nifty India Defence index up gained in the range of 1 per cent to 3 per cent. At 09:30 AM; Nifty India Defence index, the sole gainer among sectoral indices, was up 0.6 per cent, as against a 1.1 per cent decline in the Nifty 50. What's driving defence stocks today? In the early hours of Friday, Israel targeted Iran's capital, Tehran, by launching a 'preemptive strike', Defence Minister Israel Katz announced. Explosions were heard across Tehran on Friday morning. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a video message, said, 'Moments ago, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a targeted military operation to roll back the Iranian threat to Israel's very survival. This operation will continue for as many days as it takes to remove this threat.' Defence sector outlook Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh on Wednesday has said that contracts worth around ₹2 trillion are expected to be signed in FY26, aiming to match FY25's record contract value of ₹2.09 trillion. Of the 193 contracts signed in FY25, 92 per cent were awarded to Indian firms, reaffirming self-reliance and its preference for domestic manufacturing. Singh emphasized that imports should be rare, with technology transfer and Indian production being the norm - even for foreign OEMs seeking Indian contracts. Meanwhile, according to media reports, the Indian Army is set to receive a significant boost with the Defence Ministry expected to soon clear a ₹30,000 crore proposal for the acquisition of three regiments of the indigenous Quick Reaction Surface-to-Air Missile (QRSAM) system. The Defence Acquisition Council is expected to take up the proposal by late June. Developed by BDL and BEL in accordance with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), the Quick Reaction Surface-to-Air Missile (QRSAM) is a highly mobile air defence system capable of tracking and engaging targets while on the move or during short halts. With a range of approximately 30 km, it will complement existing systems like Akash and Medium Range Surface to Air Missile (MRSAM) for short to medium-range threats. Defence companies continued to benefit from the government's push on the indigenization while the geopolitical events during the quarter led to Emergency Procurement from government which will lead to additional orders for the defence companies. In terms of aggregate order backlog of PSUs, ₹3.6 trillion crore worth of contracts are in place (4.5x FY25 revenues), giving healthy growth visibility. The order outlook here onwards remains strong as ICICI Securities believe the sector is expected to thrive in the coming years due to faster acquisition processes, greater indigenization, and advanced indigenous systems. Defense exports hit a record ₹23,600 crore in FY25, with strong traction in Europe amid rising budgets. Indian firms are scaling in next-gen domains like AI, drones, & cyber defense, enhancing long-term growth visibility. Despite near-term execution risks, structural tailwinds-indigenization, policy push, & global demand remain intact.

What is QRSAM defence system and why it matters for India's military ambitions? Explained
India's indigenous defence capabilities have taken a significant leap with the development of the Quick Reaction Surface-to-Air Missile ( QRSAM ) system — a mobile, short-range air defence solution tailored for the Indian Army's frontline requirements. Here's a breakdown of what it is, how far it can reach, and where it fits into India's broader air defence architecture. What is QRSAM? The Quick Reaction Surface-to-Air Missile (QRSAM) is a state-of-the-art, indigenous air defence system designed to safeguard moving mechanised and armoured units from hostile aerial threats. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like She Was Everyone's Dream Girl In 90's, This Is Her Recently. Investructor Undo Developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation ( DRDO ) in collaboration with Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) and Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL), it is optimised for high mobility and rapid deployment in dynamic battlefield environments. Mounted on an 8x8 high-mobility Ashok Leyland Defence Systems vehicle, QRSAM can fire-on-the-move or from short halts, giving Indian forces continuous air cover while manoeuvring. Live Events A key technological highlight is its dual radar configuration — the Active Array Battery Surveillance Radar and Active Array Battery Multifunction Radar — both providing 360-degree coverage for detection, tracking, and simultaneous engagement of multiple aerial targets. Range and Capabilities The QRSAM is engineered to intercept threats within a 25 to 30 km range and at altitudes of up to 10 km. It employs an indigenous active radar seeker operating in both Ku and X frequency bands, coupled with a laser proximity fuze, which enhances hit accuracy and reduces vulnerability to electronic jamming. Designed for day and night operations, QRSAM can neutralise fast-moving aircraft, helicopters, drones, and cruise missiles, making it highly effective against modern aerial threats. Its ability to engage multiple targets simultaneously ensures robust protection for Army units advancing in hostile territory. Position in India's Air Defence Ecosystem QRSAM plays a critical short-range role within India's multi-layered air defence shield, offering protection to ground forces where longer-range systems might not be viable or responsive enough. It is strategically placed between very short-range systems like the Igla-S and L-70 guns, and medium to long-range systems such as: Akash Missile System: Indigenous medium-range system (range ~25 km) MRSAM (Medium Range SAM): Jointly developed with Israel (range ~70 km) S-400 Triumf : Russian-made long-range system (range ~380 km) Barak-8: Indo-Israeli medium-range missile (range ~70 km) What sets QRSAM apart is its mobility and responsiveness, making it the Army's go-to system for frontline air defence, particularly along India's sensitive northern and western borders. The system is set to be inducted in multiple regiments as part of a ₹30,000 crore procurement plan, aimed at modernising the Army's air defence regiments and enhancing their ability to counter evolving aerial threats in real-time.

India plans ₹30,000 crore push to strengthen Army's air defence with QR-SAMs
India is set to consider a ₹30,000 crore plan to buy three regiments of indigenous QR-SAM systems for the Army, following Pakistan's failed drone and missile attacks during Operation Sindoor. The mobile missile system, developed by DRDO, is designed to shoot down enemy aircraft, drones, and helicopters within 30 km. read more Amid the backdrop of a series of failed Pakistani drone and missile attacks following India's Operation Sindoor, the Ministry of Defence is set to review a ₹30,000 crore proposal to procure three regiments of the indigenous Quick Reaction Surface-to-Air Missile (QR-SAM) system for the Army, The Times of India reported. Later this month, the Defence Acquisition Council, chaired by Rajnath Singh, is expected to consider granting the initial go-ahead (Acceptance of Necessity) for the purchase. The mobile QR-SAM system is designed to intercept enemy aircraft, helicopters and drones within a range of 25–30 km. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The move comes in the wake of India's air defence network successfully intercepting Turkish-origin drones and Chinese missiles used by Pakistan during Operation Sindoor, which took place from 7 to 10 May. Developed by DRDO and tested over the past few years, the QR-SAM has proven effective under both day and night operational conditions. Bharat Electronics and Bharat Dynamics will jointly manufacture the system. 'The QR-SAM systems can operate while on the move, with search and track capability, and fire during short halts,' a source told TOI. 'They are tailor-made to move alongside tanks and infantry combat vehicles to provide them with air defence in the tactical battlefield.' The Army Air Defence (AAD), which performed strongly during Operation Sindoor, requires 11 regiments of the QR-SAM system. This is in addition to the ongoing induction of the indigenous Akash missile system, which currently has a 25 km interception range. The addition of QR-SAMs will bolster the existing multi-layered air defence network of both the Army and the Indian Air Force. This includes the long-range Russian S-400 'Triumf' missiles (range: 380 km), Barak-8 medium-range missiles developed in collaboration with Israel (range: 70 km), Russian Igla-S shoulder-fired missiles (range: 6 km), upgraded L-70 anti-aircraft guns (range: 3.5 km), and Indian-made drone detection and interdiction systems (range: 1–2 km).
