Astra Microwave to Demerge Space Business into Wholly Owned Subsidiary
Astra Microwave Products Limited approved a demerger of its Space, Meteorology, and Hydrology business into its subsidiary, Astra Space Technologies Private Limited. The demerged business had a turnover of ₹157 crore in FY26, representing 13.58% of total turnover. The transaction involves a share exchange ratio of 1:1.
The demerger is a significant corporate action that aims to unlock value and improve focus. However, the impact is considered medium as it is subject to multiple regulatory approvals and the financial contribution of the demerged unit is less than 15% of the total turnover.
The announcement details a corporate restructuring through a demerger. While the strategic rationale is positive for focused growth, the actual financial impact and successful completion depend on various regulatory approvals, making the sentiment neutral at this stage.
Astra Microwave Products Limited (AMPL) announced on June 10, 2026, 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 business had a turnover of approximately ₹157 crore for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, 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. The shareholding pattern of ASTPL post-demerger is expected to mirror that of AMPL, with promoters holding an indicative 6.45% and the public holding 93.55% of ASTPL. The new shares of ASTPL will be listed on both BSE and NSE, subject to regulatory approvals. The Scheme is subject to approvals from the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), SEBI, BSE, and NSE.
