Bharat Forge just scored big defense deals—here's what's up
Bharat Forge landed ₹300 crore in new contracts to supply unmanned systems to the Indian Army and Navy, reflecting a focus on indigenous systems and Atmanirbhar Bharat.
The announcement came on January 16, 2026, and it's a clear sign that homegrown military gear is getting serious attention.
What makes this interesting?
The deal covers cool tech like Omega One (which even got a spotlight at the Army Day Parade in Jaipur), plus Omega Nine, Bayonet, and Cleaver—covering a range of unmanned platforms, including intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) systems and loitering munitions.
On top of that, Bharat Forge's subsidiary recently grabbed a ₹250 crore contract for underwater systems for the Navy.
With shares rising over 2% intraday after the ₹300 crore order, it looks like investors—and maybe future engineers—are taking notice of India's growing defense game.
