Aerospace and Defence Industry in India

• India is home to one of the greatest military forces in the world and enjoys a position of significant strategic importance. The main three market categories in India’s defense industry are military fixed-wing aircraft, naval ships and surface combatants, and missiles and missile defense systems. Military rotorcraft, submarines, artillery, electronic warfare, tactical communications, and military ground vehicles are some of the other notable segments.

•  India’s economy relies a lot on its defense industry, which is expected to grow quickly because of increasing worries about national security. Ongoing border issues with China in Arunachal Pradesh and Pakistan in Jammu and Kashmir have made the need for better defense tools more urgent. To stay ahead of its neighbours, India has been one of the biggest importers of defense products over the last five years. The government has started several initiatives under the “Make in India” campaign to upgrade the armed forces and reduce dependence on imports, providing various kinds of support to encourage local manufacturing. At the same time, the sector has been getting steady foreign investments, with total foreign direct investment equity coming in at Rs. 154 crore (US$ 21.74 million) from April 2000 to June 2025 approximately.

• India’s defense exports grew a lot from Rs. 686 crore (US$ 81.1 million) in FY14 to Rs.23,622 crore (US$ 2.76 billion) in FY25. This growth was driven by both public and private sectors. Defence Public Sector Undertakings (DPSUs) contributed Rs. 8,389 crore (US$ 992.2 million), while private companies added Rs. 15,233 crore (US$ 1.80 billion). The 12% year-on-year increase in defense exports in FY25 highlights India’s growing role in the global defense market. In the first nine months of FY26 (April-September 2025), exports reached Rs. 9,131 crore (US$ 1.07 billion). The Ministry of Defence (MoD) received a budget of Rs. 6.81 lakh crore (US$ 78.7 billion) in FY26, which is a 9.5% increase compared to the FY25 budget.

•  By 2027, the Defense Ministry aims to have 70% of weapons produced domestically, creating many chances for companies in the industry. To promote private sector involvement in defense manufacturing and boost their role, the Green Channel Status Policy (GCS) was introduced. As the government works to reduce restrictions on foreign investment to support India’s “Atmanirbhar Bharat” vision, the country’s defense industry is likely to grow strongly.

Company Perspective and Review

The company’s strong financial condition is demonstrated by its nearly debt-free status, substantial liquidity, and consistent growth in equity and assets. With sales increasing from ` 226 crore to ` 755 crore and net profit rising from Rs.56 crore to Rs.222 crore, Data Patterns has shown outstan-ding financial performance throughout FY21–25, indi-cating a robust CAGR and widening margins. Employee and material costs have gone up in tandem with expansion, while low financing costs suggest less debt. A build-up of inventory and a slight depreciation point to effective asset and production scaling. With a net profit margin of about 31% in FY25 and stable tax rates, the business demonstrates good operational efficiency, high profitability, and a sound, low-leverage, cash-generating financial position. The company has increased its final dividend consistently over these years.
