Defence technology company RRP Defence has received a fresh purchase order worth nearly Rs 29.84 crore from Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) for the supply of specialised germanium lenses used in infrared and thermal imaging systems. 

The contract further strengthens RRP Defence’s presence in India’s rapidly expanding defence electronics and electro-optics segment. Under the agreement, the company will design, engineer and customise high-precision germanium lenses according to BEL’s technical specifications and operational requirements. 

These advanced optical components play a vital role in thermal cameras, surveillance platforms, weapon sights, target acquisition systems and infrared detection equipment widely deployed across defence applications. Germanium lenses are considered critical for electro-optical systems because they efficiently transmit infrared radiation and improve imaging performance in low-visibility and night-operation environments.

RRP Defence stated that the order value stands at Rs 29,83,81,230 excluding GST. The company will initially supply sample quantities for testing and approval before commencing bulk production. The first delivery batch is expected within 8 to 10 weeks from the order confirmation date, while phased monthly deliveries will continue until December 2026.

The latest order also follows a strategic memorandum of understanding signed between BEL and RRP Group in March 2026 to collaborate on semiconductors, electro-optics, unmanned systems and other advanced defence technologies. The partnership aligns with India’s “Make in India” and defence indigenisation initiatives aimed at reducing import dependence in critical military technologies.

RRP Defence operates as an original equipment manufacturer focused on electro-optical systems, thermal imaging devices, surveillance solutions and UAV technologies. The BEL order is expected to strengthen the company’s order pipeline and reinforce its position in India’s indigenous defence manufacturing ecosystem.
