ideaForge Technology Limited has released the transcript of its Earnings Call for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The call, which took place on Friday, January 23, 2026, featured management including CEO Mr. Ankit Mehta and CFO Mr. Vipul Joshi.
During the call, the management highlighted that while Q3 FY26 was muted in terms of numbers, impending demand has fructified into orders, reinvigorating the company's focus on delivery. Year-to-date, ideaForge has added approximately ₹440 crore of orders, the highest in its two-decade history. In Q3 alone, order inflow was over ₹102 crore from large opportunities and approximately ₹115 crore from smaller orders, bringing the order book to around ₹350 crore at the end of the quarter, and ₹368 crore with current month additions. The company expects to recognize revenue for approximately 40% to 45% of the open order book in the current quarter and is confident in turning profitable with healthier gross margins than previous quarters.
Significant wins during the quarter included capital emergency procurement orders from the Indian Army worth over ₹100 crore for its tactical class ZOLT UAV and mini UAV SWITCH, equipped with EW resilience capabilities. The company also noted the increasing demand for indigenous defence capabilities and a strong multiyear demand tailwind for the domestic drone industry, citing reports of a fresh procurement outlay of around ₹20,000 crore across ISR platforms, loitering munitions, and strike drones.
On the civil side, collaborations with C-DAC for emergency response networks and the 'drone-as-a-service' offering FLYGHT Dock are expected to drive adoption. The company emphasized a solutions-oriented approach with software platforms like FLYGHT CLOUD. The PLI 2.0 for drones and R&D incentives are expected to further boost innovation.
ideaForge's deployed UAVs have completed over 150,000 flights up to December 2025, cumulatively exceeding 850,000 flights, providing valuable operational data. The ZOLT and SWITCH UAVs are set to be displayed at the Republic Day Parade. Internationally, a joint venture with First Breach in the United States is underway to build a localized operational footprint.
The company reiterated its confidence in achieving a full-year gross margin trajectory of 50% plus for FY26, supported by order mix and execution of higher-value programs in Q4. Execution is not constrained by liquidity, and industry tailwinds are creating positive market conditions.
