BEML has secured an additional order worth Rs 180.60 crore from Integral Coach Factory for the manufacture and supply of Vande Bharat sleeper trainsets. The value of the order equates to Rs 1.806 billion (bn). The sleeper configuration is intended for long distance travel and complements existing Vande Bharat services.

The company is a multi-technology Schedule A firm under the Ministry of Defence that operates across three business verticals: defence and aerospace, mining and construction, and rail and metro. Its operations span civil and defence markets and the rail and metro vertical has been a focal point for recent contracts. The company indicated that the order will support its production schedules and sustain employment at relevant facilities.

On a consolidated basis the net profit declined 37.46 per cent to Rs 179.82 crore in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 from Rs 287.55 crore a year earlier, reflecting margin pressure. The Rs 179.82 crore figure corresponds to Rs 1.7982 billion (bn) and the prior period Rs 287.55 crore corresponds to Rs 2.8755 billion (bn). Revenue from operations rose 8.57 per cent year on year to Rs 1,794.17 crore in the quarter, equivalent to Rs 17.9417 billion (bn). The rise in revenue alongside a steeper profit contraction suggested higher costs or one off charges in the quarter.

Shares of BEML fell zero point five eight per cent to Rs 1,960 on the BSE, responding to the quarterly performance. Trading remained subdued as investors weighed the earnings mix against the fresh order and broader sector dynamics.
