Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) is one of India's manufacturers of ammunitions and missile systems. It was founded in 1970 in Hyderabad, India. BDL has been working in collaboration with the Defence Research and Development Organisation and foreign original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for manufacturing and suppling various missiles and allied equipment to Indian Armed Forces. The company began by producing a first generation anti-tank guided missile — the French SS11B1. While fulfilling its basic role as a weapons system manufacturer, BDL has built up in-house research and development capabilities, primarily focusing on design and engineering activities. BDL has three manufacturing units, located at Kanchanbagh, Hyderabad; Bhanur, Medak district, and Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh.
Two new units are planned at Ibrahimpatnam, Ranga Reddy district, Telangana and Amravati, Maharashtra.
