has increased from Rs. 38.66 lakhs in 2008-09 to Rs. 45.21 lakhs
in 2009-10. All the 9 manufacturing Units of the Company
have performed well and earned profts during the year.
The Proft Afer Tax for 2009-10 was Rs. 72,087 lakhs as against
Rs. 74,576 lakhs last year, a decrease of 3.34%. Networth

Some of the other highlights during 2009-10 are:

the Digital Flight Control Computer of the LCA (Tejas) on 2
Feb 2010. On the occasion, the Advanced Gun Fire Control

Level 5.
BEL is the lead technology provider for the 2010 Common
wealth Games Queens Baton. BEL has conceptualized,
designed, engineered and manufactured all electronic
subsystems of the Baton including sofware development.
Futureoutlook
As you may be aware, BEL is the only company that has equal
business presence in all the 3 defence sectors of Army, Navy and
Air Force. BEL is planning to achieve a turnover of Rs. 10,000
crores by 2012-13. Segments like radar, communicatons and
electronic warfare will drive the Companys growth.
BEL is considering foray into new business areas like nuclear
power instrumentaton, railway instrumentaton, solar/clean
energy solutons and homeland security. Our internal teams
are analyzing these sectors. The idea is to get into these
felds in the next 3 to 4 years and generate an additonal
Rs. 500 crores business annually. We have chalked out a
plan to expand our product portolio without making large
investments, but by utlizing the existng infrastructure available
in the 9 Units of the Company across the country.
We are keen to forge joint ventures in areas such as missiles,
electro-optcs and sub-systems / category of radars, like radars for
civilian areas. We are already progressing work in this regard.
The rato of defence and non-defence business is likely to be
in the range of 80% defence and 20% civil in future as well.
Though there wont be much change in this rato compared to
the present mix, we are hoping to increase volume within this
proporton. Currently, BEL is the sole manufacturer of radar
systems in India. Radars will be one of our primary segments in
future as well. Defence Communicaton equipment and systems
will contnue to be our other major business segment. Command
and control systems, electronic warfare and electro-optcs are
going to grow in a big way in the coming years.
2
ANNUAL REPORT 2009 - 10
It is important for BEL to contnue to focus on technology and
new product development and provide R&D thrust across the
Company. We are initatng projects and programmes to further
strengthen our R&D base in the feld of Defence electronics in
which technology changes at a rapid pace.
The year 2010-11 is full of promise and challenge. The opening
of the defence sector to private partcipaton and DPP 2008
have impelled the Company to be far more compettve and
productve. The Company has strengthened its in-house R&D
and works closely with DRDO labs, other research and academic
insttutons at the inital stages of development itself to introduce
new products and systems.
This year, the Company will work for strategically important
projects like the Batle Field Surveillance System, next generaton
Electronic Warfare Systems and 3D Tactcal Control Radar.
The Company will launch many new systems including the
Akash Missile System and the Coastal Surveillance System. The
Company will achieve growth in ofset business and exports.

governance. By doing this, BEL provides the structure through
which the company objectves are set, and the means of ataining
those objectves and monitoring performance. A detailed report
on compliance of the guidelines on Corporate Governance as per
the Listng Agreement with Stock Exchanges and the guidelines
issued by the Department of Public Enterprises for CPSEs forms
part of the Directors Report.
The corporate performance of BEL measured in terms of the

Environment Management
Your Company is commited to clean and healthy environment
and has been maintaining the surroundings free from polluton.
As an organisaton accredited to ISO 14001:2004 standard, the
Company has great regard to environment and puts in every efort
to prevent polluton of any kind in all its actvites. BEL adopts
cleaner technology, zero efuent discharge, rain water harvestng
techniques, conservaton of natural resources, use of renewable
energy etc., to name a few, in its endeavour towards maintaining
a cleaner environment. The signifcant features of the initatves
are illustrated below.
Cleaner Technology: Eforts have been made to prevent polluton
through introducton of cleaner technology. Changing over to
Cyanide-free Zinc and Copper platng in electroplatng process
has resulted in eliminaton of use of hazardous Cyanide.
Alternatve electronic components have been introduced
in many of the designs to exclude the hazardous efects of
materials such as Polybrominated compounds, Hexavalent
Chromium, Mercury, Beryllium Oxide, PVC and Lead. Use
of Energy efcient devices introduced in the equipment
designs results in resource conservaton in additon to
reducing the operatng cost. Other measures undertaken
include minimising signifcant environmental impacts by
replacement / change of Hazardous operaton / process / chemicals
with Non-Hazardous processes like replacement of Ozone
depletng substance like Trichloroethylene with Ozone friendly
Non-chlorinated solvent, replacement of Asbestos sheet roof
with Aluminum sheets, improvement in Elctro-Platng
processes and operaton by modernisaton of Electro-Platng
and ETP, provision of Acoustc Enclosures for Noise generatng
systems, etc.
Water Management: Rainwater harvestng and innovatve
recharging of bore wells enable the Company to collect the runof
water and recharge the ground water table. The large-scale
rainwater-harvestng reservoir at Bangalore unit has a capacity
of 1,700 lakhs litres with expected annual yield of around 2,340
lakhs litres. Rainwater harvestng reservoirs are set up in other
Units also. During the year two more rain water harvestng sites
were installed at Ghaziabad Unit covering a very wide catchment
area of rain water. By Rainwater harvestng and recharging of bore
wells ground water yield has improved. Water sofening plant
of 1.00 lakh litres per day is in operaton at Hyderabad Unit for
sofening the ground water to reduce the scaling etc.
Waste water generated in the manufacturing process is treated
to meet reusable standards and recycled for producton purpose.
In the same way domestc waste water generated in the factory
and colony is treated and recycled for hortculture purpose.
Emission To Air: Emission to air is checked through stack monitoring
and with appropriate air polluton control equipments. Emissions
passing through chimneys are treated to bring down the level of
pollutants much below the stpulatons of State Polluton Control
Boards (SPCBs).
Hazardous Waste Management System: The problem associated
with generaton of hazardous waste is addressed at root cause

Annexure to Directors Report (Contd.)
Management Discussion and Analysis Report
A) Industry Structure and Developments, Strengths,
Weaknesses, Opportunites and Threats, Major Initatves
undertaken and planned to ensure sustained Performance
and Growth
(a) General outlook of economy, industry in which the
Company operates, Government Budget, partcularly
the Defence Budget and how these impact the
Company:
The economy has grown at 7.4% in 2009-10 and
is expected to grow at 8% in the coming year. India
is emerging as a strong growing economy. This is
substantated by this year's positve growth in the
general Index of Industrial Producton (IIP) compared
to negatve growth of last year. The cumulatve growth
in index of manufacturing sector is 10.9% during
April-March 2009-10 compared to previous year and
this has resulted in growth of overall General Index of
IIP to 10.4%.
India is currently the 10th largest defence spender in the
world with a 3rd highest growth rate. The Government
of India has increased the total defence allocaton from
Rs. 14,170,300 lakhs to Rs. 14,734,400 lakhs. This
increase in defence budget and the modernisaton
plans of defence services has the potental for providing
enhanced growth opportunity for the Company's
products and services.
The Defence Public Sector Undertakings (DPSUs) have
dominated the defence industry in the past. This
scenario is likely to change with the introducton of
new Defence Procurement Policy (DPP) allowing more
partcipaton from private companies to manufacture
defence products. On the other hand, the growing
Indian defence market is atractng major global defence
equipment manufacturers to compete for business in
India.
The above scenario provides an opportunity as well
as a challenge to BEL. The challenge to BEL is to keep
pace with technological developments so that state-
of-the-art products can be ofered to the Defence
customers. BEL is taking proactve steps to protect and
further consolidate its leadership positon in the Indian
Defence Market while at the same tme acceleratng
the eforts to get into new business areas, aligned with
its core strengths.
The amendments in DPP have given an opportunity to
BEL for forming JVs with leading global defence players
and acquire required critcal technologies. The above
approach will also put BEL in a positon, wherein it
can source state-of-the-art subsystems / products
from such Joint Ventures and play the role of a system
integrator for large strategic defence systems.
The ofset clause in DPP has also created an additonal
opportunity for BEL, with the foreign vendors
approaching BEL for partnership to fulfll their ofset
obligatons. Export revenues of BEL have grown due
to ofset contracts and this trend may contnue in the
coming years.

Signifcant Accountng Policies
1. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The fnancial statements are prepared and presented under
the historical cost conventon, in accordance with Generally
Accepted Accountng Principles in India (GAAP), on the
accrual basis of accountng, except as stated herein. GAAP
comprises the mandatory Accountng Standards (AS) covered
by the Companies (Accountng Standards) Rules, 2006 issued
by the Central Government, to the extent applicable, and the
provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 and these have been
consistently applied.
2. USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparaton of the fnancial statements in conformity
with GAAP, requires that the management make estmates
and assumptons that afect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilites, disclosure of contngent liability as at the date
of fnancial statements and the reported amounts of revenue
and expenses during the reportng period. Although such
estmates are made on a reasonable and prudent basis taking
into account all available informaton, actual results could difer
from these estmates and such diferences are recognised in
the period in which the results are ascertained.
3. REVENUE RECOGNITION
(i) Revenue from sale of goods is recognised as under:
a. In the case of FOR contracts, when the goods are
handed over to the carrier for transmission to
the buyer afer prior inspecton and acceptance,
if stpulated, and in the case of FOR destnaton
contracts, if there is a reasonable expectaton
of the goods reaching destnaton within the
accountng period. Revenue is recognised even
if goods are retained with the Company at the
request of the customer.
b. In the case of ex-works contracts, when the
specifed goods are unconditonally appropriated
to the contract afer prior inspecton and
acceptance, if required.
c. In the case of contracts for supply of complex
equipments/systems where the normal cycle tme
of completon/delivery period is more than 24
months and the value of the equipment/system is
more than Rs. 100 Crores, revenue is recognised on
the percentage completon method. Percentage
completon is based on the rato of actual costs
incurred on the contract upto the reportng date
to the estmated total cost of the contract.
Since the outcome of such a contract can be
estmated reliably only on achieving certain
progress, revenue is recognised upto 25%
progress only to the extent of costs. Afer this
stage, revenue is recognised on proportonate
basis and a contngency provision equal to 20% of
the surplus of revenue over costs is made while
antcipated losses are recognised in full.
d. If the sale price is pending fnalisaton, revenue is
recognised on the basis of price expected to be
realised. Where break up prices of sub units sold
are not provided for, the same are estmated.
e. Price revisions and claims for price escalatons on
contracts are accounted on admitance.
f. Where installaton and commissioning is stpulated
and price for the same agreed separately, revenue
relatng to installaton and commissioning is
recognised on conclusion of installaton and
commissioning actvity. In case of a composite
contract, where separate fee for installaton and
commissioning is not stpulated and the supply is
efected and installaton and commissioning work
is pending, the estmated costs to be incurred on
installaton and commissioning actvity is provided
for and revenue is recognised as per the contract.
g. Sales exclude Sales Tax / Value Added Tax (VAT)
and include Excise Duty.
(ii) Other income is recognised on accrual.
4. FIXED ASSETS AND CAPITAL WORK-IN-PROGRESS:
(i) Tangible Assets:

Signifcant Accountng Policies on the Consolidated Financial Statements (CFS) for the year 2009-10
1. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The fnancial statements are prepared and presented
under the historical cost conventon, in accordance with
Generally Accepted Accountng Principles in India (GAAP),
on the accrual basis of accountng, except as stated herein.
GAAP comprises the mandatory Accountng Standards (AS)
covered by the Companies (Accountng Standards) Rules,

applicable, and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956
and these have been consistently applied.
2. USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparaton of the fnancial statements in conformity
with GAAP, requires that the management make estmates
and assumptons that afect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilites, disclosure of contngent liability as at the
date of fnancial statements and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reportng period. Although
such estmates are made on a reasonable and prudent basis
taking into account all available informaton, actual results
could difer from these estmates and such diferences are
recognised in the period in which the results are ascertained.
3. REVENUE RECOGNITION
(i) Revenue from sale of goods is recognised as under:
a. In the case of FOR contracts, when the goods are
handed over to the carrier for transmission to
the buyer afer prior inspecton and acceptance,
if stpulated, and in the case of FOR destnaton
contracts, if there is a reasonable expectaton
of the goods reaching destnaton within the
accountng period. Revenue is recognised even
if goods are retained with the Company at the
request of the customer.
b. In the case of ex-works contracts, when the
specifed goods are unconditonally appropriated
to the contract afer prior inspecton and
acceptance, if required.
c. In the case of contracts for supply of complex
equipments / systems where the normal cycle tme
of completon / delivery period is more than 24
months and the value of the equipment / system
is more than Rs. 100 crores, revenue is recognised
on the percentage completon method.
Percentage completon is based on the rato of
actual costs incurred on the contract upto the
reportng date to the estmated total cost of the
contract.
Since the outcome of such a contract can be
estmated reliably only on achieving certain
progress, revenue is recognised upto 25%
progress only to the extent of costs. Afer this
stage, revenue is recognised on proportonate
basis and a contngency provision equal to 20% of
the surplus of revenue over costs is made while
antcipated losses are recognised in full.
d. If the sale price is pending fnalisaton, revenue is
recognised on the basis of price expected to be
realised. Where break up prices of sub units sold
are not provided for, the same are estmated.
e. Price revisions and claims for price escalatons on
contracts are accounted on admitance.
f. Where installaton and commissioning is stpulated
and price for the same agreed separately, revenue
relatng to installaton and commissioning is
recognised on conclusion of installaton and
commissioning actvity. In case of a composite
contract, where separate fee for installaton and
commissioning is not stpulated and the supply is
efected and installaton and commissioning work
is pending, the estmated costs to be incurred
on installaton and commissioning actvity is
provided for and revenue is recognised as per the
contract.
g. Sales exclude Sales Tax / Value Added Tax (VAT)
