Naval Infrared Suppression System Deal

The agreement gives BHEL the rights to manufacture, install, and operate the gas turbine–infrared suppression system (GT-IRSS) for naval ships. This advanced technology was developed in India by the Naval Science & Technological Laboratory (NSTL), which is part of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). Financial and other terms of the domestic deal were not disclosed.

Boosting Defense and Local Manufacturing

This technology transfer is a key step in BHEL's diversification into the defense sector. It supports the government's 'Make in India' initiative by boosting domestic capabilities in advanced naval systems and positions BHEL further in defense manufacturing.

BHEL reported strong financial results for the fiscal year ending FY26. The company's provisional turnover reached about ₹32,350 crore, an 18% increase from the previous year. Order inflows were approximately ₹75,000 crore, growing the total outstanding order book to around ₹2.4 lakh crore by year-end.
