Ideaforge reported Q1 FY26 revenue of ₹127.8 million, a sharp ~85% decline from ₹861.9 million in Q1 FY25, though sequentially up from ₹203.1 million in Q4 FY25. The company posted an EBITDA loss of ₹151.4 million (margin: -118.5%) and a net loss (PAT) of ₹235.6 million, compared to a profit of ₹11.7 million a year ago. Gross profit margin actually improved to 61.7% from 33.3% YoY, indicating better unit economics on lower volumes. The quarter saw a major ₹137 crore Emergency Procurement order from the Indian Army for mini-UAVs, pushing the order book to ₹1,448 million as of June 30, 2025, from ₹136 million at the end of Q4 FY25. Management highlighted deployment of its drones during Operation Sindoor and pointed to a ₹40,000 crore government allocation for the 6th cycle of Emergency Procurement, a ₹1 lakh crore RDI Fund, and an upcoming PLI scheme as major tailwinds.
Despite the steep YoY revenue drop and widened losses, the strong order book jump and positive government policy signals (large emergency procurement budget, RDI fund, PLI scheme) may support a recovery in coming quarters; near-term stock sentiment could remain weak given the negative earnings, but long-term thesis is anchored on defence drone demand.
