According to a report by ET, the company has increasingly focused on expanding its presence in the rail and metro segment, with Vande Bharat emerging as a key opportunity as Indian Railways looks to add more modern trainsets to its network.
The latest order comes as the Vande Bharat platform expands into sleeper services, marking a significant step in the evolution of the train programme from premium day travel towards longer-distance overnight connectivity, the report further said.
The report also highlighted that the latest contract adds to BEML’s growing involvement in the Vande Bharat programme, as Indian Railways expands the next generation of the semi-high-speed train network beyond the existing chair-car configuration. The Rs 180.60 crore order is specifically for the manufacturing and supply of Vande Bharat sleeper trainsets and has been placed by ICF, one of Indian Railways’ major production units.
This marks the third major order win for the company in a month. On August 14, the company announced that it received an order valued at USD 6.65 million from Mauritius for the supply of BE220G Hydraulic Excavators for deployment across key African markets.
This includes markets such as Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Côte d’Ivoire and neighbouring countries. The company further said that the order will be executed in phases, commencing with pilot deployment in Sierra Leone.
The company will provide comprehensive warranty, technical assistance, site-based service support, operator training, spare parts, specialised tools and maintenance documentation. With this order win, the company’s international order bookings stood at approximately USD 119 million, underscoring the growing contribution of international markets to the company's business.
The third order win was on August 11, 2026, when the company secured a significant order worth Rs 184.25 crore from Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for the manufacture and supply of Light Combat Helicopter (LCH) Fuselage Aerostructures.
