BEL was established in 1954 to meet the specialised electronic equipment requirements of the Indian Defence Services. While this continues to be its prime focus, the company has a significant presence in the civilian market, too. BEL exports some of its products and services to a number of countries. Starting from a single Unit in Jalahalli, Bangalore, BEL has established its presence across the country by setting up eight other Units – in Ghaziabad, Pune, Machilipatnam, Panchkula, Kotdwara, Navi Mumbai, Chennai and Hyderabad. BEL has also set up a wide network of offices and service centres countrywide as well as two overseas offices – at New York and Singapore.
