“We are pleased to inform you that the Company, in the ordinary course of its business, has been declared the Lowest Bidder for orders worth Rs. 25.12 crores from DRDO & Defence PSU’s,” the company said in an exchange filing.
This development comes at a time when the defence sector is increasingly in focus, with significant backing from both the government and the private sector. The deal highlights the growing importance of indigenous defence manufacturing and the role of companies like Apollo Micro Systems in strengthening India’s self-reliance in defence technology.
In recent years, defence stocks have seen significant attention, bolstered by an increasing emphasis on self-reliance in defence production and the strategic importance of indigenous capabilities.
A notable example is the recent approval for the Indian Air Force to acquire 97 LCA Tejas Mark 1A fighter jets, valued at Rs 62,000 crore.
Such large-scale procurements are part of a broader push by the Indian government to strengthen its defence capabilities while promoting domestic manufacturing. The Tejas programme, in particular, serves as a symbol of India’s growing capabilities in aircraft production, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself taking part in a sortie in the fighter jet.Over the past year, the price has increased by 116.65%.
