Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) today presented a dividend cheque of Rs. 23 crore for the financial year 2009-10 to Defence Minister in New Delhi. The Company has achieved a record turnover of Rs. 627 crore during financial year 2009-10 against a turnover of Rs. 465 crore during the previous year, registering a growth of 35 per cent.

BDL is a Miniratna category company and is amongst a few organizations in the world having capabilities to produce state-of-the-art guided weapon systems. The company has been regularly paying dividends to the Govt. of India for over a decade and "is poised to scale further heights" says a Government press release.

BDL was established in the year 1970 to be a manufacturing base for guided weapon systems. From a humble beginning in rented premises of Andhra Pradesh Industrial Development Corporation (APIDC) at Sanatnagar, Hyderabad, the Company today boasts of two modern manufacturing complexes sprawled over 1300 acres located at Kanchanbagh, Hyderabad and Bhanur, Medak District, AP.

The lead taken by the Nation to develop indigenous sophisticated and contemporary missiles through the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme (IGMDP) gave BDL an opportunity to be closely involved with the programme wherein it was identified as the Prime Production Agency. This opened up a plethora of opportunities to assimilate advanced manufacturing and programme management technologies and skills. Responding to the Concurrent Engineering Approaches adopted by DRDO in IGMDP, BDL was seen as a reliable and trust worthy ally, and resulted in the induction of India’s first state-of- the-art Surface-to-Surface Missile "PRITHVI."

In it's quest to fulfill the defence needs of the Indian Armed Forces, BDL has forayed into the field of underwater weapon systems and air-to-air missiles and associated equipment with technology support from DRDO and other global leaders in this domain. Thus BDL is poised to cater for similar requirements of all the three Services in the years to come.

BDL was established in the year 1970 to be a manufacturing base for guided weapon systems.  It’s coming into being reflects the visionary wisdom of the Nation to achieve self-reliance in the technological domain.  Nurtured by a pool of talented engineers drawn from DRDO and aerospace industries, BDL began its journey by producing a 1st Generation Anti Tank Guided Missile-the French SS11B1.  This product was a culmination of a Licence Agreement the Government of India entered into with Aerospatiale, France.  From  a humble beginning in rented premises of Andhra Pradesh Industrial Development Corporation (APIDC) at Sanatnagar, Hyderabad, the Company today boasts of two  modern manufacturing complexes sprawled over 1300 acres located at Kanchanbagh, Hyderabad and Bhanur, Medak District, AP. 

2.        On successful completion of the SS11B1 project, BDL embarked on production of  2nd generation ATGMs – the French Milan-2 and Russian Konkurs.  These projects were taken up for licence production with technical collaboration from M/s.Euromissile, France and M/s.KBP, Tula, Russia.  These products covered a broad spectrum of the requirements of the Indian Army’s infantry and mechanized forces.  The productionization process at BDL with a phase-wise transfer of technology laid emphasis on indigenization, which enabled its engineers to gain deep insight into the system engineering and design concept of ATGMs.  In this process, BDL also interacted with numerous Indian industrial partners to develop and nurture them as reliable supply change elements.

3.        The lead taken by the Nation to develop indigenous sophisticated and contemporary missiles through the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme (IGMDP) gave BDL an opportunity – to be closely involved with the programme wherein it was identified as the Prime Production Agency.  This opened up a plethora of opportunities to assimilate advanced manufacturing and programme management technologies and skills.  Responding to the Concurrent Engineering Approaches adopted by DRDO in IGMDP, BDL was seen as a reliable and trust worthy ally, and resulted in the induction of India’s first state-of- the-art Surface-to-Surface Missile  “PRITHVI.” 

4.        In it’s quest to fulfill the defence needs of the Indian Armed Forces, BDL has forayed into the field of under water weapon systems and air-to-air missiles and associated equipment with technology support from DRDO and other global leaders in this domain.  Thus BDL is poised to cater for similar  requirements of all the three Services in the years to come.  In 1998 subsequently, a number of successes followed with the production of Agni missile, the Trishul technology demonstrator, the Akash Surface-to-Air missile (SAM) and the development of the 3rd generation ATGM, NAG.

5.    While fulfilling it’s role as a manufacturing agency, the domain knowledge gained has been fully exploited by the Design & Engineering Division of BDL to develop value added items for it’s customers.  A few of the products realized are:
a)  Fagot Launcher Adapted for Milan Equipment (FLAME) – An indigenous     
      launcher for Milan ATGM.
b)  Test Equipment for Konkurs Missile.
c)  Test Equipment for Konkurs Launcher.
d)  Counter Measure Dispensing System (CMDS), etc.

6.        The manufacturing and testing facilities established at BDL are modern and tuned to cater for the stringent qualitative requirements of guided weapon systems.  Special process facilities such as Flow Forming, Electron Beam Welding etc. have been set up and ensure reliable inputs. Environmental test facilities as Motion Simulators, Walk-in Test Chambers etc., are utilized to test the products simulating the rigorous environmental conditions as encountered by the weapon system in operational conditions. 

7.        BDL has been consistently incurring profits and has been nominated as a Mini Ratna – Category-I Company by the Government of India.  Showing  steady progress in it’s operations over the years, BDL achieved sales of Rs. 454 crores  during 2007-08 and an order book position of approximately Rs.5000 crores. 

8.        Led by luminaries like Dr Krishna Menon, Dr Raja Ramanna, Air Vice Marshal Dastur and a host of other brilliant scientists and engineers  in the past, the Company is presently  headed by Maj.Gen. (Retd) Ravi Khetarpal, VSM as Chairman and Managing Director.

9. Keeping pace with the modernization of the Indian Armed Forces, BDL is poised to enter new avenues of manufacturing covering a wide range of weapon systems such as: Surface to Air Missiles, Air Defence Systems, Heavy Weight Torpedoes, Air to Air Missiles etc., making it a world class defence equipment manufacturer.  BDL  has also entered into the area of refurbish & life extension of missiles.

10.            In recognition of its outstanding work and quality products, the company and its members have been consistently winning National awards in a wide varieity of areas as under:-

  DRDO Technology Transfer and Assimilation Award.                        - 1996
  Raksha Mantri Award  for Import Substitution and Innovation        -2002-03
  Raksha Mantri’s Award  for Design Efforts for CMDS                          -2004-05
  Raksha Mantri’s Award  for Import Substitution (IRII)                      -2005-06
  Sodet Award  for CMDS                                                                          -2005-06
  FAPCCI Award for Excellence in Research and Development          -2005-06
  Golden Peacock Award for Electronics Division                                  -2007

11.            The endeavor of the Company will always  aim at  fulfilling  it’s obligations to  the Indian Armed  Forces  and living up to the sobriquet ‘THE FORCE BEHIND PEACE’.
