Standalone EBITDA margin stood at 14.92%. * The company's order book stood healthy at approximately ₹ 1,769.1 crore (INR 17,691 Mn) as of 30 June 2025. * Order book momentum was driven by Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) customers entering serial production. * New development orders were received from DRDO for Radar [Virupaksha], which is expected to unlock a significant long-term pipeline linked to major airborne platform programs. * While subsidiary revenue declined due to softness in ER&D demand and project delays, strategic actions are underway to address losses and reposition the business, with improved performance anticipated in the second half of the fiscal year, contingent on converting identified opportunities.
