In 1985, the fifth Unit was set up in Chennai for supply of Tank Electronics. Thesixth Unit was set up at Panchkula the same year to manufacture MilitaryCommunication equipment. 1985 also saw BEL manufacturing on a large scaleLow Power TV Transmitters and TVROs for the expansion of Doordarshan'scoverage.1986 witnessed the setting up of the seventh Unit atKotdwara to manufacture Switching Equipment, theeighth Unit to manufacture TV Glass Shell at Taloja (NaviMumbai) and the ninth Unit at Hyderabad to manufactureElectronic Warfare Equipment.In 1987, a separate Naval Equipment Division was set up at Bangalore to givegreater focus to Naval projects. The first Central Research Laboratory wasestablished at Bangalore in 1988 to focus on futuristic R&D.1989 saw the manufacture of Telecom Switching and Transmission Systems asalso the setting up of the Mass Manufacturing Facility in Bangalore and themanufacture of the first batch of 75,000 Electronic Voting Machines.The second Central Research Laboratory was established at Ghaziabad in 1992.The first disinvestment (20%) and listing of the Company's shares in Bangaloreand Mumbai Stock Exchanges took place the same year.BEL Units obtained ISO 9000 certification in 1993-94. The seconddisinvestment (4.14%) took place in 1994.

Resources and Investments
All the 9 manufacturing Units of BEL have their own Development & Engineering(D&E) divisions. The role of these D&E divisions is to develop new products andobtain customer acceptance, generate new business, provide product lifecyclesupport and upgrades, develop processes and components as necessary.
Specialised core technology modules required by the D&E Engineers for productdevelopment are developed at several core Central D&E groups at Bangalore. BELalso has two Central Research Laboratories (CRLs) located at Bangalore andGhaziabad, whose primary role is to work on critical areas of technology, developenabling technology modules for use by D&E divisions and provide training toD&E engineers on emerging technologies.Presently there are about 1450 engineers and 300 support staff in the R&DDivisions of BEL, concentrating on various projects. D&E divisions of BEL pursue various categories of projects: in-house development projects, jointdevelopment or ToT projects with DRDO / other national design agencies and ToTor joint development projects with foreign vendors. Usually, 45 to 60% of theturnover is from BEL designed products, 10 to 25% of turnover is from productsdesigned by DRDO and other National Design Agencies and the remaining fromforeign collaborations.
