Data Patterns (India) Limited will acquire ST Advanced Composites Pvt. Ltd. for ₹10 crore in cash. This includes ₹1.50 crore for equity and ₹8.50 crore as a loan for liabilities. The acquisition aims for vertical integration and is expected to be completed within three months, making STAC a wholly-owned subsidiary.
The acquisition is strategically significant, enabling Data Patterns to bring critical manufacturing capabilities in-house, enhancing its competitive position and revenue potential in integrated subsystem offerings.
The acquisition is positive as it allows for vertical integration, expands service offerings, and is expected to increase revenue potential per program.
Data Patterns (India) Limited announced its board's approval for the proposed acquisition of ST Advanced Composites Pvt. Ltd. (STAC), a Chennai-based advanced composite engineering company. The acquisition aims to bring STAC's capabilities in RF-transparent radomes, aerospace-grade structural components, and defence composite solutions in-house.
Currently, Data Patterns designs and manufactures radar electronics but procures radomes and composite structures externally, leading to margin leakage and schedule dependency. By acquiring STAC, Data Patterns will achieve vertical integration and enhance its integrated subsystem capability, allowing it to offer a single vendor solution for electronics and RF structures. This is expected to expand the addressable value per program by an estimated 1.3 to 2.0 times.
The acquisition involves a cash consideration of ₹1.50 crore to the promoters for equity shares and a loan of ₹8.50 crore to STAC to settle its liabilities, totaling ₹10 crore. STAC's provisional financial statement as of March 31, 2026, shows a turnover of ₹416.85 lakhs. Its turnover for FY23-24 was ₹157.66 lakhs, and for FY24-25, it was ₹442.19 lakhs.
Upon completion, STAC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Data Patterns (India) Limited, with Data Patterns holding a 100% stake. The acquisition is expected to be completed within three months, subject to necessary statutory and regulatory approvals. ST Advanced Composites Private Limited has an authorized share capital of ₹50,00,000, divided into 5,00,000 equity shares of ₹10 each.
