Recent years have witnessed increased importance of network-centric warfare
(NCW), need for large scale deployment of Weapon Systems and technological
advancements in Electronic Warfare. This triad opens up interesting possibilities
for Bharat Electronics (BHE). Pertinently, most of these projects need to be
developed indigenously, given the strategic requirements.
BHE is uniquely positioned in several of these platforms and technologies in
“Digitized Warfare”, given in-house capabilities (R&D spend at 7.6% of revenue)
and relationships with defence/government agencies. We expect meaningful
traction in order intake from these segments, including i) Integrated Air
Command and Control System (INR70b, BHE is the preferred bidder), ii) Electronic
Warfare (~INR60b) and iii) Akash Missiles (~INR30-50b). Hence, we expect BHE to
report an order intake of INR88b in FY16E / INR92b in FY17E, a near doubling
from the levels of INR42-49b in FY14/FY15E.
BHE has recently commissioned a new software development center at Bangalore
to augment NCW systems’ capability. Also, it is augmenting manufacturing
capacity of weapon systems by setting up a greenfield unit in Andhra Pradesh.
Maintain Buy, with a target price of INR3,950 (20x FY17E).
