ideaForge reports ₹68.6 Cr Q1 FY27 revenue with positive
EBITDA; targets execution of FY27 opening order book by Q3
● Completed ₹500 Crore QIP with strong participation from domestic and global institutional
investors
● Made progress on development of combat drone capabilities such as air-launched effects (ALE)
and fuel-hybrid long-endurance capabilities for ZOLT
● Geared for delivery of FY27 opening order book by Q3
Mumbai, August 10, 2026: ideaForge Technology Limited (the Company), the pioneer and pre-eminent
market leader in the Indian unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) market, today announced its audited
financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
The company recorded revenue from operations of ₹68.6 crore during the quarter while executing over
20% of its FY27 opening order book. Global supply chain disruptions and component availability continue
to pose challenges since Q4 of FY26; however, the Company remains focused on completing delivery of
the opening order book of FY27 by Q3 as per customer timelines. The company also reported a positive
EBITDA, marking another quarter of improving financial performance.
The quarter was momentous in the company's growth journey, as its indigenous UAV fleet crossed the
landmark of one million customer flights across challenging terrains and conditions, showcasing the
performance, reliability, resilience, and autonomy of its UAV platforms. Now an ideaForge drone takes
off every two minutes on an average to carry out crucial customer missions.
Reinforcing its technology leadership, ideaForge secured DGCA Type Certification for the Q6 V2 GEO UAV,
expanding its addressable opportunities across advanced GIS and enterprise mapping applications for the
domestic market.
Further strengthening its growth plans, ideaForge raised ₹500 crore through a Qualified Institutional
Placement (QIP) that witnessed a strong response from marquee domestic and international institutional
investors. The Company also received a Letter of Intent (LoI) from the Government of India under the
Research, Development and Innovation (RDI) Scheme for financial assistance up to ₹151 crore to develop
its middle-mile logistics platform YETI, capable of lifting loads up to 200 kilograms and reaching ranges
of up to 200 kilometres depending on the load. The capital raise and RDI funding enhance the company's
financial capability to support execution of its expanding order pipeline and accelerate new technology
and product development initiatives.
Commenting on the results, Mr. Ankit Mehta, Co- Founder and CEO of ideaForge Technology, said, “Q1
FY27 marked a steady start to the year, supported by continued execution and advancement across key
strategic developmental programs.
We entered FY27 with an order book of ₹300-plus crore, giving us a stronger starting point than we had a
year earlier, and we are working towards fulfilling delivery commitments that are aligned with customers'
timelines.
At ideaForge, our strategy has always been to own the consequential technologies that matter the most,
while delivering complete solutions to our customers. Our continued progress across resilient
communication and navigation, autonomy, edge AI, software platforms, logistics UAVs, and combat drone
technologies reinforces this approach and strengthens our ability to address evolving customer
requirements across defence and enterprise applications.
Moreover, we have made good progress in our development efforts of combat drone capabilities such as
air-launched effects and fuel-hybrid long-endurance capability for ZOLT. We are also actively developing
long-range strike platforms, loitering munitions, and other capabilities through in-house and collaborative
developments. With these new capabilities and our in-house strength around communication
infrastructure for collaborative autonomy (multi-UAV operations under EW environments), we would be
targeting to participate in the upcoming large opportunities from Indian defence forces.
On order book visibility for FY27, the higher operational procurement limits for field commanders of Indian
Defence Forces under DFPDS 2026 would accelerate procurement activities in Q3 and Q4, and we
continue to see regular cycles on the civil side of the business that lean towards Q3 and Q4.
The public reports of large defence procurement of about ₹20,000 crore through the Fast Track
Procurement approach have started to see the light of the day, with one opportunity already in the RFP
stage and several others in various stages of the approval pipeline.”
