Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) has secured a significant order worth Rs. 850 crore from Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) for the supply of indigenous Multi-Function Radar in X Band. This radar system will be integrated into the Next Generation Missile Vessels (NGMVs), a new class of anti-surface warfare corvettes being developed by CSL for the Indian Navy.
The NGMVs are expected to start deliveries to the Indian Navy from 2027 onwards. The integration of BEL’s Multi-Function Radar will enhance the NGMVs’ capabilities in detecting, tracking, and engaging surface targets.
This order marks a significant milestone for BEL, further solidifying its position as a leading supplier of advanced electronic systems for the Indian defense industry. The company’s indigenous capabilities in radar technology are crucial for India’s self-reliance in defense manufacturing.
