to the Indian armed forces.
As of January 31, 2018, BDL’s order book stands at Rs 10,543 crore, which is 2.2x FY17 revenue. Government’s focus on the defence sector with the introduction of favorable policies like New Defence Procurement Policy (DPP) 2016, FDI, Make in India are likely to open many opportunities for
