HAL's Order Book

Beyond the numbers, HAL's order book has seen a massive jump—from Rs 94,129 crores at the beginning of the year to Rs 1,84,000 crores by year-end.

This includes Rs 1,02,000 crores in new manufacturing contracts and Rs 17,500 crores in repair and overhaul (ROH) work.

A standout deal was the Rs 62,777 crore order from the Ministry of Defence (MoD) for 156 LCH ‘Prachand’ helicopters—HAL’s single biggest contract ever.

Additionally, FY25 saw HAL becoming the first defence PSU to receive ‘Maharatna’ status.

The company also secured contracts for 12 more Su-30 MKI aircraft, mid-life upgrades for 40 Do-228 aircraft, and avionics enhancements for an IL-78 aircraft.

HAL Share Price Target 2025

“On technical charts, HAL has formed a base around the Rs 4,400 level and is showing strong momentum,” said Sugandha Sachdeva, Founder of SS WealthStreet. “The stock is comfortably trading above key moving averages and Bollinger mid-band support of Rs 4,337, indicating a bullish trend.”

According to Sachdeva, HAL could see its stock price rise towards Rs 5,000 in the medium term, with Rs 4,380 as the near-term support. If this level breaks, the stock may test Rs 4,100. However, strong fundamentals and a robust defence pipeline limit the downside.
