Astra Microwave Products Approves Demerger of Space Business
Astra Microwave Products approved a demerger plan to separate its Space, Meteorology, and Hydrology business into a new entity, ASTPL. The demerged business had a turnover of ₹157 crore in FY26, representing 13.58% of the total. ASTPL will issue shares to AMPL shareholders, and its shares will be listed on BSE and NSE.
The demerger is a significant corporate restructuring that will create two independent listed entities. This can lead to improved focus, better capital allocation, and potentially unlock shareholder value in the long term. However, the immediate impact is medium as it is subject to multiple regulatory approvals and the full benefits will be realized over time.
The announcement details a strategic business restructuring (demerger) which is a procedural corporate action. While it aims to unlock value and create focused entities, the immediate financial impact is neutral as it's a reorganization of existing assets and does not involve new capital infusion or significant immediate financial gains/losses.
Astra Microwave Products Limited (AMPL) announced that its Board of Directors has approved a Scheme of Arrangement for the demerger of its Space, Meteorology, and Hydrology Business into its wholly-owned subsidiary, Astra Space Technologies Private Limited (ASTPL). This strategic move aims to create two focused listed entities: one for Radar Electronics, Electronic Warfare, and Telemetry, and another for the Space, Meteorology, and Hydrology business.
The demerged undertaking's turnover for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, was approximately ₹157 crore, representing 13.58% of AMPL's total turnover for that year. The rationale behind the demerger includes enabling focused management attention, facilitating tailored growth strategies, attracting sector-specific investors, and unlocking value for shareholders.
Under the scheme, ASTPL will issue one fully paid-up equity share of ₹2 for every one fully paid-up equity share of ₹2 held in AMPL, based on a determined share entitlement ratio. Post-demerger, ASTPL's shareholding pattern will mirror AMPL's. The new shares of ASTPL will be listed on both the BSE and NSE, subject to regulatory approvals. The transaction is subject to approvals from the National Company Law Tribunal, SEBI, BSE, NSE, and other relevant authorities. The Board meeting was held on June 10, 2026, from 11:45 AM to 12:20 PM.
