Astra Microwave Wins HAL Order for Uttam Radar Components
Astra Microwave Products is a company that makes special parts for radar and other defence equipment.
They just got a big order from HAL, a big Indian defence company, to make 122 special antennas and 121 interface frames for a new radar called Uttam.
Uttam is a radar that helps fighter planes see better.
This order shows India is trying to make more of its own defence gear instead of buying it from other countries.
Astra also made a lot more money in the last quarter and for the whole year, showing it is doing well.
The new order will help the company keep making more money in the future.
It also helps India build up its own defence industry.
This is part of a bigger plan to make India stronger and more independent in defence.
The company’s success is a good sign for the country’s defence goals.
Astra Microwave Products secured a HAL order for 122 AAAU and 121 interface frames for the Uttam AESA radar.
The order supports India's push for defence self‑reliance and the Uttam radar programme.
In the March 2026 quarter, Astra posted a 44.4% rise in net profit to Rs 106 crore and revenue of Rs 488.2 crore.
Full‑year FY26 results show a 26% increase in net profit to Rs 192.97 crore and revenue of Rs 1,162.8 crore.
The company’s growing defence order book boosts revenue visibility amid indigenisation initiatives.
