BEL was set up in association with CSF, France (now, Thales) to manufacture basic communication equipment. Owned by the Indian Government, BEL primarily manufactures advanced electronic products for the Indian Armed Forces. BEL is one of nine PSUs under the Ministry of Defence and has been granted Navratna status by the Government of India.
To tackle the present ongoing pandemic, Coronavirus, BEL in partnership with All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS)-Rishikesh have developed a monitoring system to remotely assess the health of COVID-19 suspects/patients quarantined in homes and hospitals. This solution is helpful in reduction of the risk of exposure to healthcare workers and is also expected to reduce the increasing demand of PPE and other logistics.
In another MoU with Tech Mahindra, BEL collaborated to design and build cutting edge Digital Solutions for Aerospace and Defense. They will jointly develop solutions in the field of Defence products and systems for the Armed Forces leveraging next generation technologies like Aerospace and Defence (A&D) Engineering Services, 5G and Cyber Security.
