Yeah, well, what was kind of interesting in the Federation of American
Scientist profile was the first paragraph:

"Bharat Electronics Ltd. (BEL) was established in 1954 to meet the
Defence needs of the Government of India. Three units of BEL, located
in Bangalore, Hyderabad & Ghaziabad, were included on the list of
Indian entities that were subjected to US sanctions announced after the
May 1998 nuclear tests. Added to the US sanctions, these units are also
faced with passive sanctions from some European countries."


In any case, the U.S. sanctions against BEL were subsequently removed.
