HAL's current orderbook of Rs 1,840 billion (~6x trailing twelve months) provides sufficient revenue visibility in the near term. Going forward, the orderbook pipeline remains strong with order inflow expectation of more than Rs 1,400 billion (including repair and overhaul orders) for FY26E. Besides, the progress on development of Tejas Mk-II and AMCA is ongoing. The brokerage also believes the execution of Tejas Mk-1A would be beneficial for other companies involved in the supply chain such as BEL, Astra Microwave and Dynamatic Technologies.
