What BEML does

State-owned manufacturer of mining/earthmoving equipment, defense vehicles and rail coaches/metro cars for India.

Sells to public-sector buyers, mostly through tenders: mining firms such as Coal India for dump trucks and shovels, the armed forces for specialised vehicles, and metro authorities for coaches. Revenue is lumpy and tied to a few large orders. The Government of India holds the majority of the shares.

In one line: India's Caterpillar-meets-Bombardier, government-owned.
