Further strengthening its position in India's defence ecosystem, Apollo Micro Systems announced the strategic acquisition of IDL Explosives Ltd., a move that propels them towards becoming a fully integrated Tier-1 defence OEM. This acquisition not only expands their manufacturing capabilities but also broadens their product portfolio across critical areas of the defence supply chain. Looking ahead, the company projects a robust revenue CAGR of 45 per cent to 50 per cent over the next two years, driven by its core business and underpinned by a healthy order book. While operating margins are expected to improve in the first half of FY26, ongoing capital investments are anticipated to moderate margin expansion in the latter half of FY26 and into FY27. Mr. Reddy also noted that recent geopolitical developments have accelerated demand for indigenous defence solutions, with several of their systems successfully tested and demonstrated during this period, reinforcing their commitment to innovation and a self-reliant defence infrastructure for India.
