I now hand the conference over to Mr. S.G. Reddy, Managing Director. Thank you, and over to you
sir.
S.G. Reddy: Thank you, and good morning, everyone. A warm welcome to all the participants joining the post
results earnings call of our company. I'm joined by Mr. M.V. Reddy, Joint Managing Director; and
Atim Kabra, Strategy and Development Director; and SGA, our Investor Relations Advisers. The
results and the investor presentation for Q1 have already been uploaded on the company website and
stock exchanges. I hope you had a chance to review them.
In terms of the performance, the quarter performance is on the expected lines. The revenue and
profitability were moderate -- modest, I should say, primarily due to temporary delays in customer
approvals and closing some of the last stage technical issues, which are expected to normalize in the
coming quarters.
Overall, India's defense industry is increasingly moving towards indigenous design development and
manufacture of advanced subsystems and systems with the total solutions. We believe companies
with proven engineering capabilities and experience in these areas are well positioned to benefit from
this transition and Astra being one such company.
In terms of the opportunities, our stand-alone order book as of quarter end stands at INR2,156 crores,
providing strong visibility for the upcoming period. Around 66% of this order book is from defense
and the rest that is 34% is from space, metrology and hydrology sectors. Our consolidated order book
stands at INR2,849 crores, which includes service orders of about INR244 crores, which are typically
more accretive to margins.
Staying in the order book, I would like to highlight that in the month of July, we secured a significant
order worth about INR2,205 crores from Hindustan Aeronautics Limited for procurement of critical
subsystems for Uttam Radar. As you know, this is a landmark achievement for our company and

reflects the long-standing trust placed in our capabilities, technology and execution track record in
the defense sector.
My colleague, M.V. Reddy, will throw more insight into this order, its execution cycle, etcetera.
Looking ahead, we continue to see healthy progress through our key programs and remain confident
in our growth trajectory. We are targeting a top line growth of more than 15% year-on-year, resulting
into about INR1,350 crores for this financial year, maintaining a healthy bottom line.
With the addition of the significant new orders, we see substantial long-term opportunities ahead and
remain focused on leveraging our capabilities, strengthening our execution and delivering sustainable
multiyear growth over the long term.
I now hand over to Mr. M.V. Reddy and later on Atim Kabra, who will provide more insight into
new product developments, the business outlook for the near and long term and the strategies adopted
to take the company to the next level of growth cycle.
I request M.V. to take it over.
Dr. M.V. Reddy: Thank you, S.G. Good morning, everyone. I extend a warm welcome to all investors, analysts and
stakeholders joining today's earnings call. We are pleased to present our key business updates. First,
as S.G. had mentioned, we have achieved a remarkable and significant milestone at the end of July
'26 with the receipt of long-awaited strategic order.
As on date, this is the single largest order in the history of Astra, and it is a direct result of a decade
of continuous efforts, the landmark of Uttam Radar, which I was talking about, which has effectively
doubled our entire order book. So with this major win, our total order book sells to a record-breaking
of INR4,300 crores as on date.
I'm also pleased to announce that we have emerged as the lowest bidder in AAAU of AMCA
program. This is a news of a few days back. And probably in a month's time, we will be able to get
this particular contract. Alongside this major milestone, the daily operations remain strong. We
booked new orders worth of INR185 crores in Q1, matching our performance guidance exactly.
Revenue for the quarter stood at INR182 crores, driven by robust operational execution and steady
demand for our advanced technology. Similarly, our joint venture, Astra Rafael Comsys performed
well, both in terms of order book and also the execution is going in within the guided figure. As on
date, ARC, that is Astra Rafael Comsys has an order book of INR836 crores. In the current year, we
are planning to book sales of INR360 crores. We continue to strengthen our positioning across the
defense, space and semiconductor segments.
During this quarter, we secured one good order from Bharat Electronics about INR45 crores worth
of contract for all MMIC chipsets, proving our strong capabilities in radar core components. We also
