BEL Concall

Definitely, in all submarine program or ship-based program, major electronics comes from BEL. Of course, in these programs, especially this P-75I program, there will be some foreign component also, because the foreign partner is working with MDL and of course, indirectly is working with us also.

So, some foreign component with good indigenous content will be there. But there are some components which are homegrown and which will be inducted as part of this. So, I can again tell you more than 50% to 60% of electronics in this program will be from BEL. And we are in
very, very advanced stage of discussion with MDL and with this foreign partner of MDL for that program.

So, there are around 6 subsystems we call as part of the submarine program. Their technical names are Communication Suite, Navigation Complex System, The Combat Weapon Control System, Combat Information System, Torpedo Fire Control System, Missile Fire Control System. Like that, some subsystems are there, which are primarily all our electronics driven. So, these all subsystems will be part of our BEL kitty.
