With a turnover of more than Rs.3,500 crore, defence public sector enterprise (DPSE) BEML Limited (formerly Bharat Earth Movers Limited) plays a pivotal role with top-draw services in core sectors like defence, railways, power, mining, and infrastructure and is India’s leading mining and construction equipment manufacturer, offering a comprehensive range of mining machinery. Even while continuing to ramp up production and sales of its hydraulic excavators, bulldozers and dump trucks, the DPSE has extended its gaze to the aerospace sector over the past dozen years in a bid to take advantage of the global and domestic opportunities in the fast-expanding aerospace market.
