Established in 1954, Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) is a key player in India’s electronics manufacturing space, primarily serving the defence sector.

Over the years, BEL has steadily diversified into non-defence and export segments, which contributed 15% and 4% respectively to its FY24 revenues. Supported by robust R&D initiatives, a ₹76,705 crore order book as of July 2024, and expanding partnerships across civilian and international markets, BEL remains focused on enhancing its technological capabilities and revenue mix through FY25.

For FY24, the company declared three dividends: ₹0.7 (ex-date 9 Feb 2024), ₹0.7 (ex-date 22 Mar 2024), and ₹0.8 (ex-date 14 Aug 2024). In FY23, the total dividend payout included six interim distributions of ₹0.6 each and a final dividend of ₹0.6 with an ex-date of 17 August 2023.

The company has a long dividend-paying history, with regular payouts dating back to the late 1990s.

Bharat Electronics Ltd Dividend Policy & Factors Affecting It

The dividend distribution record of Bharat Electronics Ltd reflects a pattern of multiple interim dividends within a single financial year, often accompanied by a final dividend. For instance, in FY22, the company declared three interim dividends of ₹1.5 each and a final dividend of ₹1.5. Similarly, FY21 saw interim dividends of ₹1.4 declared twice, followed by a final dividend of ₹1.2. The dividend amounts have varied significantly over the years—from as low as ₹0.3 to as high as ₹23.2 per share. Announcement timelines have historically clustered around January to March for interim dividends and May to July for final ones. This consistent pattern may suggest alignment with earnings cycles, cash availability, and fiscal year-end financial results.

How to Check & Claim Dividends?

  • Head to the official website of the RTA (Registrar and Transfer Agent) for Bharat Electronics Ltd.

  • Look up payment details through CDSL or NSDL.

  • Frequently review Form 26AS for any TDS credit updates.

Shareholders must ensure their PAN and tax exemption documents are submitted before the record date. Over-withheld TDS can be reclaimed during ITR filing.

Conclusion & Investment Takeaways

Bharat Electronics Ltd continues to maintain its strategic focus on defence while accelerating diversification into non-defence and export markets. Backed by a robust order book of ₹76,705 crore as of July 2024, the company is expanding its manufacturing footprint and product portfolio. Its consistent R&D investments, partnerships, and introduction of dual-use technologies position it for sustained growth. While the defence segment remains dominant, BEL's efforts to increase the non-defence contribution to 30% of overall revenue signal a broader growth strategy in FY25 and beyond.
