Astra Microwave Products Limited (Astra), a leading Indian company engaged in the design, development, and manufacturing of advanced electronics systems for the Defence, Aerospace, and Space sectors, announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter and half-year ended 30th September 2025. For Q2 FY26, Astra reported a geographical revenue mix of 85.8% from India and 14.2% from exports, while for H1 FY26, domestic sales contributed 87.8% and exports accounted for 12.2%. The company’s standalone order book stood at ₹1,916 crore as of September 30, 2025, with ₹238 crore worth of new orders received during the quarter.
Commenting on the results, SG Reddy, Managing Director, Astra Microwave Products Limited, said “We have delivered a strong performance in the first half of FY26, achieving higher revenues and improved margins supported by a favourable business mix.

Our diversified product portfolio continues to cater to critical Defence and Space applications, reaffirming our leadership in indigenous high-technology solutions.”
Mr Reddy highlighted Astra’s recent contribution to ISRO’s CMS-03 satellite, the heaviest communication satellite ever launched from Indian soil — a proud milestone in India’s space achievements. He added that Astra has been a long-standing partner in India’s space missions for over 25 years, consistently delivering high-performance microwave systems and components.
In October 2025, Astra’s joint venture Astra Rafael Comsys Pvt Ltd (ARC) secured a ₹286 crore order from the Ministry of Defence for supplying advanced communication systems to the Indian Air Force’s Special Forces. Astra also continues to meet the Software Defined Radio (SDR) requirements of multiple defence agencies, supported by repeat orders reflecting its proven capabilities.
“India’s defence sector is entering a transformative phase, driven by a 15-year roadmap that prioritizes indigenization, next-generation communication systems, and the development of anti-drone technologies,” added Mr Reddy. “With growing emphasis on exports and R&D-led innovation, Astra is well-positioned to play a pivotal role in advancing India’s defence and aerospace capabilities.”
