Mostly, things have moved as they mentioned, truly appreciate the management quality. The recent vigour seen in US space economy based companies is likely to start moving Avantel too (more of a speculation on my part). Still awaiting the ramp up of their medical business and the SDR orders.

Any one attended AGM, kindly share highlights. They havent uploaded yet.

Key Points AR 2026

Mgt Salary reduced by appx 50% in fy 26 vs Fy 25 whereas median hike for other is 24%

The decrease in profit is primarily due to a significant increase in Research and Development (R&D) expenditure 17 cr (7.86% of rev) vs 6 cr (2.63% of rev) to accelerate product development in Software Defined Radios (SDR), Wind Profiler Radar (WPR) systems as well as iDEX projects, and capital investment across various facilities resulting in a rise in depreciation. These investments are expected to enable the Company to execute a substantially larger order book, emphasising sustained revenue growth and profitability in the years ahead. Avantel is well-positioned to capture even larger opportunities in the near future as India’s defence and SATCOM sectors continue to scale under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative. The Company presently has an order book of approximately ₹720 Crores to be executed across two financial years FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28. This is in addition to the orders in pipeline and expected in the next two years

One of the areas where significant IP has been developed is Software Defined Radios in various frequency bands for land, maritime, and airborne applications. This would establish Avantel as one of the key players in the future in the domains of strategic applications for the Indian defence forces. Further, we have developed Radar Signal Processing capabilities along with end-to-end software and hardware solutions for Wind Profiler Radar systems. Avantel has initiated the development of technologies for radar systems in air defence applications

The Company is executing five iDEX projects, of which three pertaining to MSS S-band Broadcast Receivers, Satphones, and Convoy Management Systems have been successfully developed and are awaiting final testing and trials by the Indian Army. Additionally, we are progressing on Ku-Band Systems, including Communication-On-The-Move (COTM) terminals, as well as shipborne and airborne applications as required by the Indian Navy

In line with the company’s vision to expand its infrastructure to meet the ever-increasing demands of indigenisation, the Company has established the new state-of-the-art facility (Unit No. 2), comprising a 4-acre land parcel with a built-up area of 86,271 square feet at E City, Raviryal Mandal, Tukkuguda. The facility became operational in October 2025.

Further, a new facility (Unit No. 3) for the development and manufacturing of SATCOM Ground Station Systems for both LEO and GEO satellites is being established over an area of 9 acres, with a built-up space of approximately 1,13,660 square feet at Kondaparva Village near Vijayawada. The facility is expected to be operational by Q3 of FY 2026–27, thereby strengthening the Company’s manufacturing capabilities and supporting future growth.

Imeds - Imeds Global Private Limited has established a dedicated facility for the design, development, and manufacturing of medical products at AMTZ (Andhra Pradesh MedTech Zone), Visakhapatnam. The facility is spread across 2 acres of land with a built-up area of approximately 36,000 square feet. The division has successfully obtained manufacturing licenses for key products including CPAP, BiPAP, Endoscope and Portable Oxygen Concentrator, marking an important milestone in its journey toward selfreliant manufacturing. Additionally, certifications for Ventilators and Patient Monitoring Systems are expected to be completed by end of July 2026. Imed loss 7.5cr vs 3.2 cr in fy 25

I believe with the latest order received company can achieve revenue of 450-500cr in fy 27 with EBIDTA margin climbing up to 30%.

AGM filing 2026

For me the highlight of the AGM was that the MD said he would like to aim at Rs 1,000 crs TO in next 5 years, he has all the products to achieve that …

Last year the margins were poor due to a one off order for fishermen and they did it for reasons of national interest to support the government. That order is done with and we can, hopefully, see better financial profile.

I specifically liked the management commentary on iMed. I see a huge growth potential from the medical segment.
