Unless the context otherwise requires, any percentage, amounts, as set in “Risk Factors”, “Basis for Offer Price”, “Our Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 21, 138, 245and 405, respectively and elsewhere in this Prospectushave been calculated on the basis ofamounts derived fromour Restated Consolidated Financial Statements.

Non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles Financial Measures Certain non-generally accepted accounting principles (“Non-GAAP”) measures included in this Prospectus, and certain other statistical information relating to our operations and financial performance, such as Gross Profit, Gross Profit Margin (%), EBITDA, EBITDA Margin (%), PAT Margin (%), Return on Equity (%), Return on Capital employed (%), Net Tangible Fixed Asset Turnover and Working Capital Days (“Non-GAAP Measures”), presented in this Prospectusare supplemental measures of our performance and liquidity that are not required by, or presented in accordance with Ind AS, IFRS or U.S. GAAP. These Non-GAAP Measures and other statistical and other information relating to operations and financial performance should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to cash flows, profit for the years/ period or any other measure of financial 17performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities derived in accordance with Ind AS, Indian GAAP, IFRS or U.S. GAAP.

In addition, these Non-GAAP Measures and other statistical and other information relating to operations and financial performance, are not standardised terms and may not be computed on the basis of any standard methodology that is applicable across the industry and therefore, may not be comparable to financial measures of similar nomenclature that may be computed and presented by other companies and are not measures of operating performance or liquidity defined by Ind AS and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Further, they may have limited utility as a comparative measure. Although such Non-GAAP Measures are not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with applicable accounting standards, our Company’s management believes that they are useful to an investor in evaluating us as they are widely used measures to evaluate a company’s operating performance. For further details, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position and Results of Operations – Non-GAAP Measures” and “Risk Factors – Certain non-GAAP financial measures and certain other statistical information relating to our operationsand financial performance have been included in this Prospectus. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of operating performance or liquidity defined by Ind AS and may not be comparable”on pages 426 and 70, respectively.

21Internal Risk Factors

1. Our business is cyclical in nature on account of it being geopolitically driven and subject to government budget cycles. Further, tender-based procurement cycle results in poor revenue visibility, which may have an adverse impact on our business, financialstability, results of operations, investor confidence, and the ability to secure financing for growth or innovation.

Our Company operates in the defence electronics sector, which is exposed to the complexities of government procurement processes. These processes are typically characterised by extended timelines, multiple layers of scrutiny, and dependence on government budget cycles. Funding for defence projects is subject to annual or multi- year government budgets, which can be delayed or reprioritised due to shifting political or economic circumstances. Further, defence procurement is governed by strict regulatory frameworks, requiring extensive documentation, technical evaluations, and compliance checks. Additionally, multiple government agencies and oversight bodies are often involved, each with their own review and approval processes, further extending procurement cycles. This results in protracted decision-making and contract award timelines which lead to uncertainty in order inflows and revenue volatility.

As per the F&S Report, in recent years, geopolitical instability, including border conflicts, rising regional tensions, and emerging non-state threats, has led to accelerated procurement through emergency purchase mechanisms and fast-track acquisitions. These mechanisms are designed to address immediate operational needs, leading to sudden spikes in demand for defence electronics. While this has created short-term demand surges, such procurement cycles are episodic and may not be sustained if geopolitical tensions subside or governments revert to conventional, multi-year acquisition programs. The episodic nature of emergency procurement leads to fluctuations in order volumes and revenue, making it difficult for companies to forecast and plan long-term investments or resource allocation. Consequently, revenue visibility can be inconsistent, and conversion of opportunities from the broader Total Addressable Market (“TAM”) and Serviceable Addressable Market (“SAM”) often remains a prolonged, resource-intensive process in the absence of conflict-driven urgency. While our Company has generally benefitted in such events, there is no guarantee that future conflict-driven demand spikes will result in orders for our Company. Such developments may also adversely affect procurement timelines, execution of orders and revenue recognition, as experienced in Fiscal 2026, when revenue from operations declined primarily due to delays in the execution of certain international orders arising from the West Asia conflict as well as the deferment of certain anticipated orders from Fiscal 2026 to Fiscal 2027, which impacted revenue recognition during the year. The outcome of such procurement will depend on factors including tender timelines, product suitability, competition, and available capacity.For further details, see “Industry Overview” on page 160.

The need to maintain readiness for both episodic surges and prolonged procurement cycles can strain resources, as we must balance the costs of maintaining capacity with the uncertainty of future demand. The unpredictability of procurement cycles complicates strategic planning, investment decisions, and supply chain management. We may face challenges in maintaining a competitive edge if we are unable to adapt quickly to shifts between emergency and conventional procurement modes.

The following table sets forth details of our revenue from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024 and the year on year increase/decrease:

Particula Three months ended Fiscal 2026 Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 rs June 30, 2026 Amoun Percentage of Amoun Percentage of Amoun Percentage of Amoun Percentage of t increase/(decre t increase/(decr t increase/(decr t increase/(decr (₹ ase) in revenue (₹ ease) in (₹ ease) in (₹ ease) in million from millio revenue from millio revenue from millio revenue from ) operations of n) operations of n) operations of n) operations of the previous the previous the previous the previous year (%) year (%) year (%) year (%) Revenue 360.0 NA (22.69) 4,690.8 9.55 4,281.8 NA from 8 3,626. 0 9 operatio 48 ns Our revenue from operations increased from ₹4,281.89 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹4,690.80 million in Fiscal 2025, before decreasing to ₹3,626.48 million in Fiscal 2026. This is because while there has been an increase in domestic procurement between Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2026, as well as the subsequent rise in enquiries and orders in the financial year ended March 31, 2026, due to heightened geo-political uncertainties globally, however, as indicated 22above, our revenue from operations have also decreased in Fiscal 2026 due to delays in execution of certain international orders arising from the West Asia conflict as well as the deferment of certain anticipated ordersfrom Fiscal 2026 to Fiscal 2027, which impacted revenue recognition during the year. In particular, our international

order book of₹59.03 million outstanding as at March 31, 2025 was executed in Fiscal 2026. Further, our Company received an order of ₹ 514.41 millionfrom a customer in Fiscal 2026, which it could not execute in Fiscal 2026 due to delays attributable to the West Asia conflict. This orderof ₹ 514.41 million forms part of the order book as of June 30, 2026 and is expected to be executed in Fiscal 2027. Accordingly, the conversion of such demands into orders is on-going and it is difficult to predict the pace of conversion with accuracy, which might have an impact on our future business, financial stability, results of operations etc.

Our revenue from operation in the three months ended June 30, 2026 is also low primarily due to the seasonality of our business and slow execution. Further, we have incurred a loss of ₹(177.37) million in the three months ended June 30, 2026 that is primarily attributed to lower revenue recognition in addition to expenses like employee benefits expenses and depreciation which are relatively uniformly distributed over the fullFiscal.

The table below sets out details of number of bids submitted, bids won, bids lost and bid to win ratio in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

Particulars Three months ended Fiscal 2026 Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Total June 30, 2026 Number of bids submitted# 14 131 64 66 275 Bids Won* 2 45 23 27 97 Bids Lost 5 49 24 33 111 Bid to win ratio 14.29% 34.35% 35.94% 40.91% 35.27% *Comprises bids for which purchase orders were awarded to our Company during the relevant year end and includes bids where (i)our Company was the lowest bidder as at the relevant year end and the corresponding purchase orders for such bids were placed withour Company subsequent to such year end; and (ii) ourCompany had submitted bids as at the relevant year end, thereafter it was declared the lowest bidder and the corresponding purchase orders for such bids were placed with our Company subsequent to such year end.

#No. of bids submitted also include active bids which are still not assigned.

There can be no assurance that a sudden demand spike followed by demand drop will not occur in the future. The lack of consistent revenue visibility can impact financial stability, business, results of operations, investor confidence, and the ability to secure financing for growth or innovation.

2. While we are not dependent on a single customer and we typically have short term, non recurring contractswith a majority of our customers which are based on tenders, some of our customers have contributed significantly to our revenue from operations in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals. If our customers choose not to source their requirements from us or to terminate our contracts or purchase orders or tenders, our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Our customers include global militaries, system integrators who supply to global militaries and procurements by NATO countries, law enforcement and homeland security agencies and other global defence OEMs and our customer base as on June 30, 2026, comprises of multinational and Indian customers in over 24 countries which includes customers in Israel, Armenia, Spain, the Philippines and the United States of America.

We typically enter into contracts with our customers via a competitive bidding process in which we compete for tenders based on, among other factors, pricing, technical capabilities and performance, as well as reputation for quality, experience, past trackrecord, and financing capabilities. The growth of our business and ability to gain customers depends on our ability to win tenders in a competitive bidding process. We do not have annuity revenues since these contracts are typically short term and non-recurring in nature. Our pricing terms, payment cycles and permitted adjustments are generally set out in advance and we may not be able to renegotiate/reset prices set out, in the event of significant unanticipated changes in our material procurement expenses. Accordingly, our relationship with our customers are short term and typically for the manufacture of a specific product. However, some of our tenders garner us customers who contribute significantly towards revenue from operations for particular periods. For instance, one of our customers contributed significantly towards our revenue from operations and was our largest customer for Fiscal 2024 and 2025, however they are not our largest customer in Fiscal 2026. Leveraging this relationship and the trust reposed through the showcase of our technical capabilities could provide us with an edge over other competitors participating in future bids. The table set forth below provides the revenue contribution and revenue contribution as a percentage of our revenue from operations of our largest customer, our top 5 customers, our top 10 customers and our top 20 customers, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

23Particulars* Three months ended Fiscal 2026 Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 June 30, 2026 Amount As a Amount As a Amount As a Amount As a (₹ percentage (₹ percentage (₹ percentage (₹ percentage million) of revenue million) of revenue million) of revenue million) of revenue from from from from operations operations operations operations (%) (%) (%) (%) Largest 197.12 54.74 499.80 13.78 2,676.93 57.07 1,888.81 44.11 customer# Top 5 331.47 92.06 1,923.17 53.03 4,051.01 86.36 3,090.90 72.19 customers Top 10 353.48 98.17 2,822.25 77.83 4,479.25 95.49 3,618.10 84.50 customers Top 20 NA$ NA$ 3,483.20 96.05 4,628.17 98.66 3,827.80 89.39 customers *Due to confidentiality requirements applicable to defence and government procurement contracts, the names of the customers have not been disclosed.

#The same customer was the largest customer in both Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024 but not in Fiscal 2026. $Our Company had less than 20 customers in the three months ended June 30, 2026.

Further, our current order book is significantly concentrated among a few large defense customers, primarily in global militaries, law enforcement, homeland security agencies and other global defence OEMs. While such deals have demonstrated our ability to win complex, high-value contracts, they introduce risk due to customer dependence.

Additionally, we primarily operate in a procurement ecosystem driven by individual, competitive tenders issued by defence and security agencies. Each tender typically corresponds to a specific requirement, with limited scope for repeat or follow-on orders.Unlike commercial sectors that benefit from annual contracts or recurring orders, the defence sector’s reliance on standalone procurement events leads to uneven revenue flow and limited visibility beyond the current order book. This necessitates constant pursuit of new tenders and customer programs to sustain and grow revenue, increasing our dependence on winning fresh opportunities in a highly competitive and budget- constrained environment. Further, on account of the sensitivity of the sector in which we operate and the nature of the contracts we execute, inter alia, certain contracts entered into with the Government of India and its agencies, containing classified information. While material rights and obligations have been factored for the purposes of the disclosures in this Prospectus, under the terms of such contracts and the applicable laws, we are restricted from disclosing sensitive information to third parties. The limitations described above are not unique to our Company and are characteristic of the sector that we operate in.

Many of our government customers are subject to budgetary constraints and our continued performance under the contracts, or award of additional contracts from these government agencies, could be jeopardized by budget restrictions of the state or central governments. A significant decline in government expenditures generally could adversely affect our business and products. Our operating results may also be negatively impacted by other developments that affect these government programs generally, including the following:

 changes in government programs that are related to our products and services;  changes in various economic policies including in relation to shifts in domestic spending and tax policy, and general economic conditions and developments;

 adoption of new laws or regulations relating to government contracting or changes to existing laws or regulations;  changes in political or public support for security and defence programs;  uncertainties associated with the war on terror and other geo-political matters;

 decline or reprioritisation of the country’s defence budget; and  delays in the payment of our invoices by government payment offices.

24These developments and other factors could cause government entities and public sector undertakings to reduce their purchases under existing tenders, to exercise their rights to terminate tenders at their will, any of which would cause our revenue to decline and could otherwise harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

3. Our top ten suppliers contributed to a significant portion of our total expenses; 164.00%, 68.77 %,

35.46%, and 67.49% of our total expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We are dependent on our top ten suppliers and failure to maintain our relationship with our suppliers could adverselyaffect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

A significant portion of our total expenses are towards our ten largest suppliers, and thus we are heavily dependent on them. We have not entered into long-term contracts with our raw material suppliers and all our procurements and supplies are by way of purchase orders which govern the commercial terms, including but not limited to the minimum product standards, quantity, price etc. In the absence of long-term contracts establishing formal exclusive relationships between us and such parties, we cannot assure that such business relationships shall last for long or at all and we may lose a significant portion of our revenues to our competitors. Our current arrangements with our suppliers may not remain in effect, or on similar terms, or at all. Our business is dependent on our ability to maintain and strengthen our relationships and arrangements with our existing key suppliers. The loss of one or more of key suppliers or a reduction in the amount of business we obtain from them could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. While we have not faced any such instances of termination of contracts by our key suppliers, which materially and adversely affected our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and theFiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain historic levels of business and/or negotiate and enter into contracts on terms that are commercially viable with our key suppliers in the future.

The following table sets forth expense towards our largest suppliers as a percentage of total expense for the periods indicated:

Suppliers For the three For the Fiscals months ended June 2026 2025 2024 30, 2026 (₹ in (% of (₹ in (% of (₹ in (% of (₹ in (% of million) total million) total million) total million) total expense)# expense) expense) expense) Three largest suppliers 835.57 136.82 1,671.50 55.72 897.60 23.98 1,532.05 45.47 Five largest suppliers 898.17 147.07 1,851.47 61.72 1,058.19 28.27 1,922.50 57.06 Ten largest suppliers* 1,001.59 164.00 2,062.72 68.77 1,327.42 35.46 2,273.93 67.49 *Our ten largest suppliers include Tecadapt Business Solutions Private Limited, CEAQ Singapore, Lynred, Prakash Engineering Works, Kaynes Technology India Limited, Syratron Technologies Pte. Ltd, Syratron Technologies Private Limited, Jai Ganesha Precision Engineering, Ryan Technology, SCD, RP Optical Lab Ltd., Avalon Technology and Services Private Limited, Toolfit, Marvel CNC Technologies and Bisen Aerospace Pvt. Ltd. These suppliers may not be our ten largest suppliers in each of the above Fiscals/periods and the disclosure of names has only been made for such suppliers who have consented to being named as ten largest suppliers. Remaining names from our ten largest suppliers are not mentioned in this Prospectus due to non-receipt of consents for naming them as our supplier.

# The purchases of raw materials from our largest suppliers during the three months ended on June 30, 2026 were made not onlyfor order execution during the said period but also for anticipated requirements for remaining period of Fiscal 2027, resulting inpurchases exceeding the cost of goods sold for the three months ended on June 30, 2026 and the excess raw materials being carried as inventory. Accordingly, the total inventory of raw materials increased from ₹2,194.85 million as at March 31, 2026 to ₹3,196.33 million as at June 30, 2026. Delays in the execution of certain international orders arising from the West Asia conflict as well as the deferment of certain anticipated orders from Fiscal 2026 to Fiscal 2027, as disclosed on page 22 also contributed to this increased inventory. Thus, the combination of purchases for future requirements, and the resulting increase in inventory resulted in the percentage exceeding 100%.

Our inability to renegotiate our contractual arrangements with them will be adversely affected and may lead to a decline in our revenue from operations. Further, we cannot assure you that our suppliers will not make our raw materials unavailable to us and enter into exclusive arrangements with our competitors due to a more attractive offer being advanced. Our suppliers could also potentially shut down or cease their business operations due to factors beyond our control. Any adverse change in our relationships with our major suppliers, including the complete withdrawal of our critical components by them or their inability to fulfil payment obligations to us in a timely manner, or inability to renew our contract on favourable terms could have an adverse effecton our business and results of operations.

4. We are dependent on limited global suppliers for critical components and other raw materials. The scarcity and cost of such critical components and raw materials could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Our advanced electro-optics systems rely on a narrow supplier base for critical components such as uncooled and cooled infrared focal plane arrays, OLED micro displays, high-performance optics, and specialized coatings.

Globally, these components are manufactured by a limited number of suppliers, often concentrated in specific geographies such as Europe, South East Asia and Chinawith export controls or subject to geopolitical risks.

25The table below sets out the cost incurred in purchase of the critical components from domestic and international suppliers as a percentage of our total cost of goods sold and revenue from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Particulars Three months ended Fiscal 2026 Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 June 30, 2026 Amount As a As a Amount As a As a Amount As a As a Amount As a As a (₹ percenta percentag (₹ percenta percent (₹ percenta percentage (₹ percenta percenta million) ge of e of million) ge of age of millio ge of of revenue million) ge of ge of total cost revenue total cost revenue n) total cost from total cost revenue of goods from of goods from of goods operations( of goods from sold operation sold operati sold %) sold operation (%) s (%) (%) ons (%) (%) (%) s (%) Cost of 84.21 37.54 23.39 211.83 11.93 5.84 401.26 19.61 8.55 882. 40.11 20.60 critical 23 component s procured from domestic suppliers Cost of 560.40 249.85* 155.63* 970.54 54.67 26.76 1,073.3 52.46 22.88 906.74 41.23 21.18 critical 6 component s procured from internation al suppliers * The critical component procurement in the three months period ended June 30, 2026, was undertaken in advance to meet order execution requirements including for remaining period of Fiscal 2027, with the excess inventory carried forward on the balance sheet.Delays in the execution of certain international orders arising from the West Asia conflict as well as the deferment of certain anticipated orders from Fiscal 2026 to Fiscal 2027 also contributed to lower Revenue from operations and cost of goods sold in the three months period ended June 30, 2026 as disclosed on page 413 of RHP, resulting in higher percentage of critical component purchase as a ratio of total cost of goods sold and revenue from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2026.

Further, the production and procurement of critical components for our products are dependent on our suppliers being able to procure raw materials, such as Germanium, Silicon and Carbon. As per the F&S Report, Germanium is a scarce and expensive raw material and is subject to government licensing/export restrictions in certain geographies like China. As per the F&S Report, raw materials like Germanium and rare earth elements used in infrared optics are mined in only a few countries, such as China and Russiaand face increasing scarcity and price volatility affecting the supply chain. Such dependencies pose a significant risk to our production continuity and cost structure. For further details, see “Industry Overview –Business &competitive risks” on page 215. Where technically feasible and commercially viable, our in-house intellectual property and vertically integrated design capabilities enables us to re-engineer systems to accommodate alternate components when necessary. However, such re-engineering may result in increased costs, extended development timelines and potential changes in product specifications. We are also actively investing in R&D for development of Germanium-free lenses. These lenses will use Chalcogenide and other polymer materials which have both transmissivity and refractive index that will support better imaging in long wave infrared. While a successful development of an alternative would reduce long-term reliance on constrained resources, like Germanium and enhance supply chain resilience, there is no certainty that we will succeed in developing alternatives that are both technologically and commercially viable.

Our success depends on the uninterrupted supply of critical components which are subject to various uncertainties and risks. We have had difficulties sourcing critical components in Fiscal 2023 when supply chains for semi-conductors were globally disruptedfollowingthe COVID -19 pandemic. Although the underlying supply chain disruption occurred in Fiscal 2023, its operational impact manifested in the subsequent years. This led to execution delays in Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2025 resulting in liquidated damages being paid to some of our customers amounting to ₹218.20 million and ₹ 189.27 million, respectively. While the disruptions arising from the COVID-19 pandemic have since subsided and our supply chain has stabilised on account of the various measures undertaken by us following such execution delays, any global instability including geo-political conflicts could adversely impact timely availability of components and materials needed by our business, for instance in Fiscal 2026, our revenue from operations have decreased due to delays in execution of certain international orders arising from the West Asia conflict.We cannot assure you that there won’t be a failure to supply or any delay in the future, which may have an impact on the business and the profitability of our Company. Further, most of our procurement of critical components is done by paying cash upfront rather than by suppliers credit, which exposes us to the risk of credit worthiness of our suppliers. While we have not experienced such an instance where the cash has been unrecoverable in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you such an instance will not occur in the future.

265. As a global defence electronics OEM, our business is dependent on exports and the performance of geographies where we supply our products. In Fiscal 2025 and 2024, 65.52% and 48.61% of our revenue from operations was from exports and in particular from exports to Europe. Any adverse changes in the geographies where we supply our products could have an adverse impact on our business, cash flows, results of operations and financial condition.

We havesupplied our products to customers across24 countries as of June 30, 2026. Further we have had 12, 44, 30 and 25 customers in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The table below sets forth details of the customers served outside India and revenue generated from such customers in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

Particulars For the three months ended June For the year ended March 31, 30, 2026 2025 2024 2026 Revenue from customers located outside 0.92 202.13 3,073.38 2,081.46 India (₹million) Revenue from customers located outside 0.25 5.57 65.52 48.61 India as a percentage of the revenue from operations (%) The following table sets out our revenue from operations by geographical spread for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

In particular, in Fiscals 2024 and 2025, we executed a large European order of USD 55 million (INR equivalent ₹ 4,527 million (based on exchange rate of INR 82.30 per USD as of 17 May 2023) received in Fiscal 2024.

However, we did not receive any order from such customer in Fiscal 2026 or Fiscal 2025, resulting in a reduction in revenue from Europe from 65.34% in Fiscal 2025 to 0.13% in Fiscal 2026.Our revenue from customers located outside India has significantly decreased in Fiscal 2026 from Fiscal 2025 primarily on account of deferment of certain anticipated orders from Fiscal 2026 to Fiscal 2027 due to the West Asia conflict, which resulted in an impact on revenue recognition for Fiscal 2026. As per the F&S Report, the defence procurement regulations favour domestic OEMs and system integrators in many countries. For further details, see “Industry Overview – Core technologies and product portfolio” on page 232. Thus, winning sizeable orders often requires strong local references, proven operational performance, and strategic endorsements. Our approach so far has been focused on building these critical references, even if it meant securing smaller initial orders or technology demonstrations.

27While these efforts are strategic and aimed at long-term market penetration and we have secured large scale orders in three countries of Europe, they have not yet translated into significant repeat or volume-based business from most of the other overseas regions we have set forth in. If we are unable to realise revenue from our international market despite our global footprint, our business may be adversely affected.

We are also exposed to fluctuations in the performance of the defence electronics sector, in the aforementioned geographies. Any change in law, regulations, defence budgets and policies in foreign jurisdictions, like potential sanctions, trade embargoes, increase in the tariffs where we sell our products or plan to sell our products may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Further, foraying into the international markets would be subject to numerous political and economic factors, legal requirements such as obtaining necessary licenses or approvals, like SCOMET, and other risks associated with doing business globally. Additionally, the European Union has adopted the Security Action for Europe Regulation (Regulation

(EU) 2025/1106) (“SAFE”) and the European Defence Industry Programme Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2025/2643) (“EDIP”). Accordingly, exports to Europe made under procurements financed through these instruments need to be in compliance with European regulations, including SAFE and EDIP, which require that a minimum of 65% of the estimated cost of components of the end product be sourced from the European Union, EEA-EFTA States and Ukraine for procurements made by certain customers. The raw materials used in all our products have multiple sources of supply in Europe, India and Israel, amongst others. Our manufacturing and assembly processes are also undertaken by EMS providers. Both the raw materials and outsourced EMS manufacturing and assembly can be provided by suppliers in the EU to meet the requirements of the SAFE and EDIP regulations. We believe that this will allow us to localize sourcing and production in Europe and meet the requirements of the SAFE and EDIP regulations. Further, our Company may supply complete knockdown kits or sub-systems to OEMs and systems integrators domiciled in the EU, which may participate as bidders in EU- funded programmes, for undertaking final product assembly and system integration. Our Company’s supply may, however, be constrained such that the value of Indian-origin components supplied by our Company does not exceed the applicable 35% non-EU cost ceiling under the SAFE and EDIP Regulations (Article 16(10) of SAFE and Article 10(3) of EDIP). Nevertheless, if our Company is unable to satisfy the European regulatory requirements at a satisfactory price point or find alternative business opportunities or collaborations including supplyof knockdown kits or sub-systems, our Company’s exportsto Europe may be constrained. Therefore, we may not be able to expand our export business, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The defence electronics sector may perform differently in India and be subject to market and regulatory developments that are dissimilar to the markets in other parts of the world. Further, as other countries prioritize domestic defense production through mandates for domestic suppliers and offset obligations, the appetite for imported solutions may shrink or require deeper local partnerships. A shift in revenue mix away from exportstowards Indian orders, particularly under increased domestic procurement mandates, could result in margin compression and impact our overall profitability profile.

Further, since we do not have established offices and dedicated sales presence overseas, we may from time to time engage third parties to represent us and enable our participation in tenders issued in overseas jurisdictions. Since such engagements are typically on an ad-hoc and non-exclusive basis, there is no assurance that such representatives will enable our effective participation in and/or our securing of award of such tenders. If we are unsuccessful in securing such tenders, our exports, and thereby our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely impacted. While we have not experienced any of the above stated instances, we cannot assure you that any such instance will not occur in the future.

6. We operate in an industry which is highly regulated and are subject to stringent government regulations. If we fail to comply with the applicable regulations and rules prescribed by the Government of India and the relevant statutory or regulatory bodies or fail to obtain, maintain or renew our statutory and regulatory licenses, permits and approvals required for our business, our results of operations and cash flows may be adversely affected.

We operate in an industry which is highly regulated and our operations, including manufacturing are subject to stringent laws and regulations. We are required to obtain and maintain a number of statutory and regulatory licences, registrations, permits and approvals under central, state and local government rules in India, generally for carrying out our business. Obtaining licenses, registrations, permits and approvals or their renewals are time consuming processes and subject to frequent delays. We have obtained a number of licenses, registrations, permits and approvals from the relevant authorities and are renewing such statutory approvals periodically for the existing facility, however, if we fail to obtain some or all of these approvals or licenses, or renewals thereof, in a timely manner or at all, or if we fail to comply with applicable conditions or it is claimed that we have breached any such conditions, our license or permission forcarrying on a particular activity may be suspended or cancelled and we 28may not be able to carry on such activity, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

For further information on the nature of approvals and licenses required for our business and for information on the material approvals applied for, see “Key Regulations and Policies in India” and “Government and Other Approvals” on page 282and 453, respectively.

Further, we are an Indian private sector company engaged in designing, developing and manufacturing a wide range of defence products and solutions. In order to manufacture/sell/export some of our products, our products must be approved by government agencies like the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (“DPIIT”) and Department of Defence Production, Ministry of Defence, or Directorate General of Foreign Trade in India and by the government agencies in the countries in which we do business. We are also required to obtain SCOMET licences from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade or Ministry of Defense, as applicable, individually for each and every export order prior to shipment of goods. If there is any failure by us to comply with the applicable regulations or if the regulations governing our business are amended, it may reduce our revenue, increase costs, adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. While there have been no instances in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals, where we failed to obtain regulatory approvals or had our license suspended or cancelled by any regulatory authority, which adversely impacted our operations, we cannot assure you that such instances will not arise in the future.

Further, our Company’s supplies are categorised as an “Indigenously-Designed, Developed and Manufactured” (“IDDM”) under India’s Defence Acquisition Procedure 2020 (“DAP 2020”). In order to supply as an IDDM under DAP 2020, our Company must be owned and controlled by resident Indian citizens and must comply with the conditions that the final product be indigenously designed, developed and manufactured with a minimum of 50% indigenous content on cost basis of the base contract price i.e. total contract price less taxes and duties.

Further, the draft Defence Acquisition Procedure 2026 (“draft DAP 2026”), published on February 10, 2026, proposes to increase the IDDM indigenous-content threshold from 50% to 60%, introduces an Indian design, source-code and IP ownership requirement, and proposes changes to iDEX procurement and bid-security provisions. The indigenous component may vary across individual contracts, depending on the nature and specifications of the relevant contract and the components required thereunder. We ensure that the indigenous component under each of the relevant contracts under IDDM complies with the currently applicable 50% thresholdsin the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals. However, since the composition and value of components are contract-specific, and the proposed 60% norm is not presently applicable, the extent of any shortfall, if any, against such proposed 60% norm cannot be quantified at this stage.Failure to adhere to these requirements under the DAP 2020 not only exposes our Company as a vendor to disqualification, liquidated damages, and forfeiture of performance guarantees but may also trigger blacklisting and debarment under the MoD’s Guidelines for Putting on Hold, Suspension and Debarment of entities dealing with the Ministry, thereby materially affecting our eligibility for future government procurements. We are pursuing certain programmes under IDDM, and thus are subject to the adverse impacts of failure to adhere to these requirements.

Further, any variation in any policies of the Government of India in the defence sector may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

7. We are measured against high quality standards and stringent performance requirements by our customers. Any failure by us to comply with these standards or performance requirements may lead to the cancellation of existing and future orders, recalls, liquidated damages or warranty and indemnity or liability claims, which could adversely affect our reputation, business, results from operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

We are a global defence electronics OEM that designs and develops advanced imaging, processing, and communication systems for surveillance, reconnaissance, targeting, and control. Our full-stack capabilities, ranging from core sensor technology to fully integrated autonomous platforms focused on battlefield applications across land, air, and sea through advanced imaging, situational awareness, and combat systems tailored for modern warfare which is driven by technology and autonomous systems. Given the nature of our products, and the sector in which we operate, our customers typically have high standards for product quality and delivery schedules and our products are measured against stringent specifications of our customers. Adherence to quality standards is a critical factor as a defect in products delivered by us or failure to make timely deliveries of products and solutions as per our customers’ requirements and specifications and/or if our customers are dissatisfied with the quality of our products in any mannermay lead to cancellation of supply orders by our customers or invocation of warranty 29These customer specifications or requirements are provided by our customers through tender documents circulated by them as part of the competitive bidding process. Our customers provide a varying range of specifications which include, inter alia, specifications in connection with the design and manufacturing of the product, technical clearance testing and inspection, safety, quality, adherence and compliance with environmental, health and safety laws. The failure by us to achieve or maintain compliance with these requirements or quality standards may disrupt our ability to supply products to our customers until compliance with such requirements or standards is achieved.

Further, given our products find use in combat situations, any failure or defect or lapse in quality standards of our products could have significantly adverse outcomes including injury and/or the death of the end-user. While there have been no injuries or deaths attributed to failure, defect or lapse in quality standards of our products, there can be no assurance that such an instance will not take place in the future.

We have put in place internal quality assurance control systems to ensure that our products will be able to satisfy our customers’ quality standards. Our internal quality test is conducted on the pilot engineering unit manufactured by us in our research centre prior to dispatch to our contract manufacturing facilities for mass production. Our quality test includes a visual inspection, mechanical tests, electrical tests, followed by checks oninter aliain built satellite based position system, digital magnetic compass, display, dioptre adjustment, power supply, recording and data transmission, service life and environment and durability test. However, our procedures, tests and processes may fail to test for all possible conditions of use or identify all defects in the design, engineering or specifications in our products. Certain of our customers also conduct a pre-delivery inspection of the finished products through third parties at their facilities. If the products that we deliver fail to meet the quality standards at pre-delivery inspection, the customer will reject the shipment, and we will not receivepayment. Further, the products may also be subjected to a third level of quality check in certain instances where the finished product delivered by us is validated by our customers upon delivery. As a part of acceptance process, our products undergo testing and if rejected, the customer has the right to raise a warranty claim within the warranty period (typically 1-2 years but can go up to 5 years) and we may have to replace the entire batch or a large portion of such batch of products. While we have not experienced cancellation of agreements due to failure to meet quality requirements in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such instances will not arise in the future. Further these quality tests incur substantial costs and our products are required to undergo multiple such quality tests. Failure of our products in passing these tests and thereby leading to loss of the contract would result in significant impact on our reputation, business, results from operations, financial conditions and cash flows. While no such instance has occurred in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot guarantee such an instance would not occur in the future.

In order to check compliance with the technical specifications and quality standards, certain of our customers have audited our research centreand manufacturing processes in the past and may undertake similar audits periodically in the future. These audits play a critical role in customer retention and any adverse issues that arise in the course of these audits may lead to the relevant customer cancelling their orders with us, until we successfully address any concerns or issues leading to a loss of business from such customer.

Our contracts typically require us to indemnify our customers against any liabilities and expenses incurred as a result of failure of performance of the products. Customers can enforce such indemnities against us, unless such defect, damage or delay is caused due to the customer’s wilful misconduct, fraud, gross negligence or wilful misrepresentation. Under our agreements with our customers, we are liable to pay liquidated damages for any delay in the supply of products. These liquidated damages typically range from 1/100 of delay percentage per week and are capped at 10% of delayed value. There have been certain instances in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals where inability to meet schedule timelines have resulted in the payment of liquidated damages by our Company to indemnify our customers. We cannot assure you such instances will not take place in the future.

The table below sets forth the expense incurred in payment of liquidated damages in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

Particulars Three months ended Fiscal 2026 Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 June 30, 2026 Amount As a Amount As a Amount As a Amount As a (₹ percentage (₹ percentage (₹ percentage (₹ percentage million) of total million) of total million) of total million) of total expenses expenses expenses expenses (%) (%) (%) (%) Liquidated 9.68 1.58 38.01 1.27 189.27 5.06 218.20 6.48 damages 30Depending on the terms under which we supply products, if we supply products that do not comply with the specifications provided by our customers, our customers may hold us responsible for some or all of the repair or replacement of faulty products and mayraise warranty claims during the warranty period. Such instances could adversely affect our reputation and business and, to the extent not covered by insurance, our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Certain of our contracts also mandate that any (i) downtime exceeding 10% of the warranty period or (ii) common defect in more than 15% of items/components, requires full replacement of equipment with upgraded design across all units supplied and yet to be supplied by us. Further, most of our contracts obligate our Company to provide free changes/upgrades (including technical details, drawings, test techniques) within 45 days of such alteration. Additionally, our Company is also required to provide product support/spares for 10 years and to give 2 years’ notice prior to closure of production line. This creates long-term obligations and potential cost burden. Our customers are also endowed with unilateral rights to terminate the contracts, any termination due to quality defects, may adversely affect our reputation and business. As part of its accounting policy, the Company creates provisions for warranty obligations as and when a sale is booked and writes back such provisions over the warranty period, net of warranty claims, if any. In an accounting period where the provisions created are lower than the provisions written back, there is a net write-back to the statement of profit and loss. Such provisions and write-backs have been recognised and accounted for in accordance with the applicable accounting standards and have been appropriately reflected in the Restated Consolidated Financial Statements. For instance, in Fiscal 2026, the Company recorded a net write-back of warranty provisions of ₹142.29 million to the statement of profit and loss (as compared to a net charge of ₹116.07 million and ₹219.66 million in Fiscals 2025 and 2024, respectively), which resulted in a positive impact of ₹188.40 million on EBITDA and an increase in EBITDA margin by 5.20% in Fiscal 2026. The net write-back of ₹142.29 million in Fiscal 2026 arose from provisions created in earlier periods being written back over the warranty period, net of warranty claims, in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy. There is no guarantee that we will not incur any warranty claims in the future, and any such claims may impact our profitability. For details of reconciliation on provisions for warranty claims and provision written back, please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on page 405.To ensure minimal defects, we may be required to incur significant expenses to maintain our quality assurance and quality control systems and incur additional costs in order for us to satisfy our obligations towards indemnification or payment of liquidated damages or our obligations enforced during the warranty period which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

8. We may be required to issue performance bank guarantees for quality defects or delay in delivery, which could adversely affect our reputation, business, results from operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

Our customers require us to issue performance bank guarantees for such quality and delivery related obligations which can be enforced against us in case of defective or damaged products or delay in delivery of the products or services supplied by us. The performance bank guarantees which we are required to furnish to our customers typically range from 3% to 5% of the total contract value of the order. These performance bank guarantees furnished by us to our customers are time bound and the expiry period of such guarantees are subject to the commercial terms entered into with each customer. If there is a performance breach by our Company, the bank guarantee may be invoked by the customer. Performance bank guarantees are released upon satisfactory completion of the work, such guarantees typically range from 1-5 years, depending on the execution period of the contract as well as the warranty period.

There has been one instance in Fiscal 2025 where inability to meet scheduled timeline for an R&D project resulted in the invocation of performance bank guarantees by a customer. The table below sets forth the expense incurred due to invocation of performance bank guarantee in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

Particulars Three months ended Fiscal 2026 Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 June 30, 2026 Amount As a Amount As a Amount As a Amount As a (₹ percentage (₹ percentage (₹ percentage (₹ percentage million) of total million) of total million) of total million) of total expenses expenses expenses expenses (%) (%) (%) (%) 31Expense - - - - 7.52 0.20 - - incurred in payment of performance bank guarantee We cannot assure you such instances will not take place in the future. Any such future instance could adversely affect our reputation, business, resultsfrom operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

9. Any failure to protect or enforce our rights to own or use trademarks and brand name and identity could have an adverse effect on our business, goodwill and competitive position.

Our core strength lies in complete ownership of a large portfolio of unrestricted intellectual property with respect to infrared imaging, night vision, computer vision and deep learning, precision stabilization, autonomous fire control, directed energy, option communications, high altitude surveillance, missile seekers etc. We focus on design, creation and ownership of intellectual property. We own the brand and intellectual property for all of our designs and control the supply chain. Our Company has been issued five patents from the US Patent and Trademark Office which were assigned from CEAQ Singapore to our Company pursuant to an assignment agreement dated April 25, 2025. Further, our Company has five assignment agreements with CEAQ Singapore by way of which multiple intangible assets have been assigned to our Company pursuant to deeds of assignment each dated March 11, 2024. Our Company also made royalty payments to CEAQ Singapore of ₹105.13 million for Fiscal 2024. However, following the purchase of Intellectual Property in March 2024, no further royalty payments have been made. Furthermore, pursuant to five assignment agreements, each dated March 11, 2024, CEAQ Singapore has assigned the intangible assets to our Company for an aggregate consideration as set out

below:

Intangible asset Aggregate consideration (in ₹ million) Design of polymer material for infrared optics 788.50 Design of diffractive and etched optical lenses Computational imaging techniques for infrared imaging Design of shutterless infrared imaging Design of super resolution based micro-scanning for higher resolution imaging Design of low power electronics for mid wave and long wave infrared Design of laser ranging transceivers 248.22 Design of algorithms for 3D scene analysis Design of single imager stereo for depth from single images Design of machine learning and classification algorithms from low resolution infrared 239.95 data Design of software architecture to ingest data from heterogenous sensors Design of control systems for inertial stabilization 273.04 Design of optical alignment system for sensor fusion 282.20 Design of sensor fusion techniques to fuse visible and infrared imagery Design of multi-aperture wide field of view imagers Design of mirror based fine stabilisation Design of zero blur rotating imager Design of multi-sensor panoramic imaging for 360 degree imaging Design of sensor fusion techniques to combine inertial and video data Design of holographic display system Total 1,831.91 As disclosed above, we acquired the above intellectual property from CEAQ Singapore for an aggregate consideration of ₹1,831.91 million pursuant to assignment agreements each dated March 11, 2024. The purchase consideration was determined based on a discounted cash flow valuation. There can be no assurance that the anticipated economic benefits from the acquired intellectual property will be realised as projected, or that the technologies underlying the acquired IP will continue to be relevant. Any failure to realise such value or any impairment in the carrying value of the intangible assets could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.For further details on our IP portfolio, see “Our Business –Intellectual Property Rights” and “Government and Other Approvals –Intellectual Property” on pages 277and 455. Further, as of the date of this Prospectus, we have one trademark under class 9 which was transferred to us from CEAQ Singaporeby way 32of an assignment agreement dated July 26, 2024 and an application for transfer of this trademark from CEAQ Singaporeto our Company has been submitted to the Registrar of Trademarks under the Trademarks Act, 1999, and one application for registration of a new trademark under Class 9, which are currently pending approval.

Additionally, we have made four patent applications which are currently pending approval from the Indian Patent Office and four patent applications which are currently pending approval from the United States Patent and Trademark Office. There can be no assurance that such trademark and patents will get transferred or registered to us. Further, we possess technical knowledge about our products and manufacturing know-how. We have gained such technical knowledge through our own experiences, R&D initiatives undertaken by us, over the years. Our technical knowledge is a significant independent asset. Our technical knowledge i.e., knowledge of our manufacturing processes and related aspects, is an asset that may not be sufficiently protected by intellectual property rights. As a result, we cannot be certain that our technical knowledge will remain confidential in the long run.

Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to protect these intellectual property and other proprietary rights that we may develop. We rely primarily on patents, trademarks, designs and technical knowledge, as well as other contractual provisions, to protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights. A significant number of our employees have access to confidential design and product information and there can be no assurance that this information will remain confidential. Moreover, certain of our employees may leave us and join our various competitors. While our employees are subject to strict confidentiality, non-disclosure, non-solicitation and non- compete obligations under the respective agreements entered with them, we cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully enforce such provisions. We also enter into confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements with our suppliers and business partners, however, we cannot assure you that parties will not breach their confidentiality obligations under such arrangements. The potential damage from such breach of any confidentiality obligations is heightened if such designs and products are not patented, and thus we may have no recourse against copies of our products and designs that enter the market subsequent to such leakages. Even if all reasonable precautions, whether contractual or otherwise, are taken to protect our confidential technical knowledge of our products and business, there is a risk that certain proprietary knowledge may be leaked, either inadvertently or willfully, at various stages of the production process. We operate in highly sensitive areas and such leakage could adversely affect such critical programmes and our goodwill as well as future prospects with key agencies in the sector.

In the event the confidential technical information in respect of our products or business becomes available to third parties or to the general public, any competitive advantage we may have over other companies in the sectors we operate in could be harmed.If a competitor is able to reproduce or otherwise capitalise on our technology, it may be difficult, expensive or impossible for us to obtain necessary legal protection. Any leakage of confidential technical information could have an adverse effect on our business, goodwill results of operations, financial condition and future prospects. While we have not encountered any instances of confidential information, including technical knowledge, regarding our manufacturing operations, products, or customers being leaked in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such instances will not arise in the future.

Further, any failure to register or renew the registration of our registered trademark or patents may affect our right to use such trademark in future. Our efforts to protect our intellectual property in India and abroad may not be adequate and any third party claim on any of our unprotected intellectual property may lead to erosion of our business value, goodwill and our reputation, which could adversely affect our operations. Third parties may also infringe or copy our registered brand name in India and abroad which has been registered by us in India. We may not be able to detect any unauthorized use or take appropriate and timely steps to enforce or protect our intellectual properties in India and abroad. Moreover, our ability to protect, enforce or utilize our brand name is subject to risks, including general litigation risks. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that such brand name will not be adversely affected in the future by actions that are beyond our control, including customer complaints or adverse publicity from any other source in India and abroad. Any damage to our brand name, if not immediately and sufficiently remedied, could have an adverse effect on our business and competitive position in India and abroad.

While we have not experienced any such instance in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals, there can be no assurance that such an instance will not take place in the future.

Finally, while we take care to ensure that we comply with the intellectual property rights of others, we cannot determine with certainty whether we are infringing any existing third-party intellectual property rights, which may force us to alter our product offerings or modify our manufacturing processes established in our production facilities. We may also be susceptible to claims from third parties asserting infringement and other related claims in India and abroad. Any claims, with or without merit, could be time consuming and expensive, and could divert our management’s attention away from the execution of our business plan. While we have not experienced any 33such instance in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals, there can be no assurance that such an instance will not take place in the future.

10. We derive a significant portion of our revenues from the sale of tactical systems, which represented

59.55%, 58.37%, 77.24%, 83.90%of our revenue from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026, 2025, 2024, respectively. Any decline in the demand for our tactical systems would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We derive a significant portion of our revenues from the sale of tactical systems. Our tactical systems include Arjun, Spartan and Bloodhound etc., for armed and police forces in combat situations including counter insurgency and anti-terror operations. The table below sets forth details of our revenue from our products in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026, 2025, 2024, respectively:

By offering aversatile, modular, multi-sensor architecture with robust stabilization, high-definition imaging, laser ranging/designating, and sensor-fusion capabilities, our platform optronics are suited for modern combined-arms operations —from over-the-horizon surveillance and ISR to real-time targeting for remote-weapon stations, armoured vehicles, C-UAS defense, border security, and maritime patrol. Our end effector platforms are designed for neutralization of aerial and ground threats. These comprise of advanced RF-based directed-energy systems and high-speed, jet-powered loitering-munition platforms equipped with state-of-the-art infrared seekers.

For further details, see “Our Business –Our Products” on page 261. The sale of tactical systemsmay decline as a result of, amongst other factors, lower demand for products from our customers, increase in competition, change in our own strategies for growth and macro-economic conditions in India or outside India. Our failure to identify and understand evolving industry trends and preferences and a decline in our production of tactical systems would have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows. We cannot assure you that any decrease in demand for tactical systems could potentially be off-set by sales of platform products.

3411. We havein the past entered into related party transactions, inter alia, sale of goods, purchase of project materials, technical support services – payables, remuneration paid to directors, reimbursement of expenses, etc and may continue to do so in the future.

We have entered into transactions with related parties in the past and from, time to time, we may enter into related party transactions in the future. These transactions include, among other things, remuneration paid to directors, sale of goods, reimbursement of expenses, purchase of project materials, technical support services – payables etc. Our Company has entered into transactions with CEAQ Singapore in the past for the procurement of raw materials, typically including components and other raw material sourced by CEAQ Singapore from global suppliers with whom it has long standing relationships. Our Company also made royalty payments to CEAQ Singapore till Fiscal 2024. However, following the purchase of Intellectual Property in March 2024, no further royalty payments have been made. For further details in regard to such transactions, see “Summary of Related Party Transactions” and“Restated Consolidated Financial Statements –Note 46 -Related Party Disclosures” on pages 93and 393, respectively.

While all such transactions have been conducted on an arm’s length basis and in accordance with the Companies Act, 2013, we cannot assure you that we might not have obtained more favourable terms had such transactions been entered into with unrelated parties. While we shall endeavour to conduct all related party transactions post listing of the Equity Shares subject to the Board’s or Shareholders’ approval, as applicable, and in compliance with the applicable accounting standards, provisions of Companies Act, 2013, provisions of the SEBI Listing Regulations and other applicable law, such future related party transactions may potentially involve conflicts of interest. Although our Company will endeavour to duly address such conflicts of interest as and when they may arise, we cannot assure you that these arrangements in the future, or any future related party transactions that we may enter into, individually or in the aggregate, would provide us with the anticipated benefits and/or will not have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

12. We have a history of negative cash flows from operating activities and decrease in cash and cash equivalents. We had negative net cash flow (used in) operating activities of ₹(146.83) million, ₹(632.16) million and ₹(1,361.19) million and net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of ₹(98.59) million, ₹(632.91) millionand₹(137.49) million in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026 and 2025, respectively. If we are unable to generate adequate revenue and manage our cash flows and expenses, it may have an impact on our results of operations, business and cash flows.

We have reported negative cash flows from operating activities and decrease in cash and cash equivalents in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026 primarily due to increase in inventories, increase in other current assets and decrease in provisions (non current) and in Fiscal 2025 primarily due to the decrease in other current liabilities (on account of the one-time intellectual propertyacquisition in Fiscal 2024), the increase in trade receivables and other financial assets (non-current). The table below provides a summary of our net cash flow for

the years indicated: (₹million) Particulars Three months ended June 30, Fiscal 2026 2026 2025 2024 Net Profit before tax (237.48) 699.59 992.65 945.50 Cash generated from (97.22) (480.16) (1,029.03) 837.28 operating activities Net cash flow from operating (146.83) (632.16) (1,361.19) 783.33 activities Net increase/(decrease) in (98.59) (632.91) (137.49) 759.73 cash & cash equivalents If we incur significant negative cash flows for extended periods going forward, it could further strain our liquidity position and may require us to seek additional financing, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. For more details, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on page 405.

13. Our operations are dependent on research and development (“R&D”), thus our inability to introduce new products and respond to changing customer preferences in a timely and effective manner, may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

35As per the F&S Report, global defense modernization landscape is evolving in response to mounting geopolitical uncertainty, supply chain disruption, and the urgent need for capability renewal. For further details, see “Industry Overview –Global Defence Modernization –Opportunity Size and Trends” on page 172. We must continuously invest in R&D to maintain competitiveness across product categories like thermal sights, gimbals, targeting systems, and directed energy systems. We design and develop products and technologies that incorporate advanced technologies.The business environment in many of our principal operating activities requires extensive design and development expenses. We devote substantial resources to our design and engineering functions and also make investments in R&D, in particular, to create new products and technologies which are further customised to meet customer expectations and end-user preferences, considering factors such as terrain adaptability, user comfort, reduced size, weight, power and cost of systems that can image in the infraredspectrum at the same time maintaining the image quality performance of more expensive, larger systems which allows us to develop new and differentiated products and respond to evolving industry trends and sector and customer’s preferences and to also improve our production processes and quality of our existing products and solutions, which we believe are factors crucial for our future growth and prospects. Our technology advancements in computational imaging, diffractive optics, optical materials and consumer electronics chipsets driven system on chip platforms has allowed us to build high performance defence electronics systems that are non-ITAR and as per the F&S report, we design our products baselining our technology with developed markets and pricing them competitively for developing markets. For further details, see “Industry Overview – Tonbo Imaging’s Position in the Ecosystem” on page 231. Our ongoing technology development and R&D focuses on creating a reduction in expenses to support larger industrials and commercial applications across safety, security and efficiency through anchoring our technology roadmap in four critical vectors thatwe believe are fundamental to redefining the state of the art in defence electro-optics; advancements in sensor technology and optical architectures (Better data), generation of actionable, metric-rich analytics and understanding through embedded AI (Better information), development of scalable, high-performance free-space optical (“FSO”) communication systems (Better communication), integration of the above into rugged, deployable systems across soldier, vehicle, and aerial domains (Better platforms). Our focus on R&D has been critical to our success and has helped us develop an extensive range of products. Certain key technologies developed through R&D include, micro-scanned optics, scene-based non-uniformity correction, thermal stereo vision systems for depth perception in low-light conditions, 3D imaging using single-detector thermal imagers, sub-5 µrad inertial stabilization and high accuracy pointing systems, fast steering mirror assemblies for dynamic beam alignment etc.

The table below sets forth the R&D expense incurred and R&D expense as a percentage of the total expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

Products Three months ended Fiscal 2026 Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 June 30, 2026 Amount As a Amount As a Amount As a Amount As a (₹ percentage (₹ percentage (₹ percentage (₹ percentage million) of total million) of total million) of total million) of total expenses expenses expenses expenses (%) (%) (%) (%) R&D 85.19 13.95 258.56 8.62 90.95 2.43 42.41 1.26 cost As on June 30, 2026 our R&D team comprise of 130 engineerswith an average experience of 10 years.As part of our efforts towards R&D, we have set up an R&D centre at Bengaluru, Karnataka to undertake research, develop and experiment with new designs, technologies and equipment. Our R&D centre is ISO certified; it has the ISO 9001:2015 (quality management systems), ISO 14001:2015 (environmental management system) and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (information security management system) and ISO 28000:2022 (security and resilience- security management systems requirements) for design, development, manufacture and servicing of electro optical systems and imaging cores in the areas of infrared imaging for use in defence, commercial, security and industrial applications. Our R&D expenditure as a percentage of revenue from operations was 1.94% for Fiscal 2025, while the global industry average of R&D expenditure as a percentage of revenue was 4.03%.* *As per the F&S Report, the global industry average has been calculated as the average of R&D expenditure as a % of revenue of the Indian and global peersof our Company, based on the latest publicly available information. This has been calculated based on said expenditure and revenue in FY 2025 for Indian peers and calendar year 2025 for global peers.

Our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of our R&D capabilities depends on a variety of factors, including meeting development, production, certification and regulatory approval schedules, execution of internal and external performances plans, availability of supplier and internally -produced parts and materials, performance of suppliers and sub-contractors, hiring and training of qualified personnel, achieving cost and production 36efficiencies, identification of emerging technological trends in our target end markets, validation of technologies, level of customer interest in new technologies and products, and customer acceptance of our products and products that incorporate technologies we develop. In addition, due to the design complexity of our products, we may experience delays in completing the development and introduction of new products.

If we are unable to continuously develop new products or optimise our processes, to innovate or respond to emerging technologies, such as AI-enabled surveillance, SWaP-C miniaturization, or counter-drone electronic warfare, it could erode our market share.Further, rapid product lifecycles and shifting customer preferences could also render existing platforms less attractive and adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Further, delays in any part of the process, our inability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals for our products or failure of a product to be successful at any stage of its development will result in our inability to timely offer products that satisfy the market, which might allow competing products to emerge during the development and certification process and could adversely affect our business. Delays in introducing new products and enhancements, the failure to choose correctly among technical alternatives or the failure to offer innovative products or enhancements at competitive prices may cause existing and prospective customers to purchase our competitors’ products. While there have been no such instances in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals, there can be noassurance such an instance will not occur in the future.

Though we strive to align our solutions with requirements of our customers, there can be no assurance that we will be able to secure the necessary knowledge through our own in-house product development that will allow us to continue to develop our offerings in accordance with the requirements of our customers and industry trends.

Furthermore, there is no assurance that our newly developed or improvised products and solutions will yield desired results, can be used for commercial operations or will generate any revenue. Our ongoing investments in various R&D initiatives could result in higher costs without a proportionate increase in revenues. If we fail to design, develop and manufacture customised products and solutions for our customers at competitive price, this may affect our ability to win bids and/or contracts and our business profitability and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected. For instance, one of the key focus of our work is to look at synthesized alternatives to Germanium, which is a primary raw material used in manufacturing infrared optics, to reduce any dependence on geopolitics-based scarcity, reduce weight and size of the optical system, reduce cost of larger optical systems and reduce dependence on manufacturing infrastructure to fabricate the lenses. We have had some success with synthesised polymers that show a moderately high refractive index comparable to Germanium and good transmissivity, however, the study on synthesized polymer is in an early phase and it may not be an appropriate substitute of Germanium, consequently we may not be able to derive benefits of the cost and effort put it its R&D works. Further, if any of our competitors offer an inexpensive and/or readily available substitute for Germanium before us, it could have a significant impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, the synthesized polymer is still in its early phase of development, there is no assurance that it will be an adequate substitute for Germanium. If we are unable to achieve the anticipated returns in such new growth areas, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Further, products can take 3-5 years to stabilise in terms of technology readiness and customer adoption of platform systems which have a high per unit cost can be slow even when the need is established.

We are also subject to the risks generally associated with new technologies and product introductions, including lack of market acceptance, delays in product development and failure of products to operate properly. Our failure to successfully deduce the industry trends, or invest our resources and capital incorrectly, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects. While we have not experienced any such instance inthe three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that we will be successfully able to anticipate future industry trends and customer requirements.

14. Any shutdown of our existing research centre or other production problems caused by unforeseen events may reduce sales and adversely affect our business, cash flows, results of operations and financial condition.

As of the date of this Prospectus, while our large scale manufacturing is outsourced, we design our pilot engineering units at our research centre in Bengaluru, Karnataka. For details with respect to our contract manufacturing, see “Our Business –Contract Manufacturing” on page 270. Any significant social, political or economic disruption, or natural calamities or civil disruptions in Karnataka or changes in the policies of the state or local governments of Karnataka or the Government of India, could result in the damage or destruction of a significant portion of our manufacturing abilities, require us to incur significant capital expenditure and change our business strategy. The occurrence of, or our inability to effectively respond to any such event, could have an 37adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Our research centre is subject to operating risks and we may encounter manufacturing problems or experience difficulties or delays in production as a result of occurrence of the following events or any other events beyond

our control:  forced or voluntary closure of the research centre, including as a result of regulatory actions or natural and man-made disasters;  problems with supply chain continuity, including as a result of any pandemic, natural or man-made disasters at our research centre;

 breakdown or failure of equipment, equipment performance below expected levels of efficiency, obsolescence of our equipment and production facilities, industrial accidents and the need to comply with the directives of relevant government authorities;

 labour disputes, strikes, lock-outs that may result in temporary shutdowns or production disruptions; and  any changes in the availability of power or water availability which impacts the entire region;

While we have not experienced any of the aforementioned instances resulting in disruption of our operations at our research centre in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such instance will not arise inthe future.Disruption in our production operations may impede our ability to meet the production schedules and requirements of our customers according to their detailed specifications within demanding delivery time frames. Any failure by third parties, like utility providers, to deliver their services could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

15.

16. Our business works on a longer gestation period wherein, there is considerable time gap between the receipt of

order and the payment, thereby affecting our working capital requirements and profitability of the business. Any failure in arranging adequate working capital for our operationsor furnishing performance bank guarantees may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

We require working capital to finance the purchase of critical components and materials, furnish bid or performance guarantees and for the contract manufacturing and other related expenses before payment is received from customers. Working capital is required for financing (a) raw materials just prior to production; (b) long lead item inventory; (c) finished goods inventory prior to customer acceptance; and (d) customer receivables post delivery of goods and customer acceptance. We currently meet our working capital requirements through a mix of internal accruals and working capital facilities from banks. The table below sets forth the working capital requirements of our Company as at and for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024.

(₹ million) Particulars As at and for the As at and for the As at and for the As at and for the three months year ended year ended year ended March ended June 30, March 31, 2026 March 31, 2025 31, 2024 2026 Inventory (A) 3,196.33 2,194.85 1,111.44 1,116.86 Trade Receivables (B) 968.53 2,116.63 2,103.12 936.43 Other Current Assets (C) 511.28 331.25 214.31 409.34 Total Current Assets 4,676.13 (D=A+B+C) 4,642.73 3,428.87 2,462.63 Trade Payables (E) 463.11 334.43 211.45 203.44 Other Current Liabilities#(F) 281.69 237.18 710.31 1,688.57 Short Term Provisions*(G) 104.40 135.55 104.75 13.61 Total Current Liabilities (H= 849.21 E+F+G) 707.16 1,026.52 1,905.63 Working Capital (I = D-H) 3,826.92 3,935.57 2,402.35 557.00 Current Borrowings 1,297.16 1,160.64 781.35 810.86 Internal Accruals 2,529.76 2,774.93 1,621.00 - *Short Term Provisions includes provision for gratuity, compensated absences and warranties #In Fiscal 2024, our Company purchased intellectual property from CEAQ Singapore for a consideration of ₹1,831.91 million. The amount was paid in tranches, and the amount unpaid to CEAQ Singapore as of March 31, 2024, was classified as part of Other Current Liabilities.

In Fiscal 2024, this amount was ₹1,320.94 million and is NIL in Fiscal 2026. The intellectual property purchase of ₹1,831.91 million, however, was a one-time transaction.

Our Working Capital Days have increased from 152 days in Fiscal 2024 to 280 days in Fiscal 2025 and 517 days in Fiscal 2026.Additionally our working capital days were 1,454 daysin thethree months ended June 30, 2026 andhave been calculated based on 91 days for the three months ended June 30, 2026. The working capital days for the three months ended June 30, 2026 are not directly comparable with those presented for the annual periods primarily due to the cyclic nature ofthe business and the concentration of revenue recognition towards the second half of the financial year. Accordingly, the working capital days are higher as compared to the annual periods presented. Further, we had negative net cash flow from operating activities of (₹632.16) million and (₹1,361.19) 42million in Fiscals 2026 and 2025, respectively. Continued deterioration in working capital efficiency and negative operating cash flows could increase our borrowing requirements and create liquidity pressure.

Our Company is also required to furnish performance bank guarantees in the ordinary course of business in relation to the fulfilment of purchase orders, as and when required. Our performance guarantee typically range from 3% to 5% of the contract value andhave a tenor of 1-5 years covering the execution period and the warranty period. The table below sets forth the performance guarantees outstanding as on June 30, 2026, March 31, 2026, March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively:

(in ₹ million) Particulars As at June 30, As of March 31, As of March 31, As of March 31, 2026 2026 2025 2024 Performance Guarantees 312.54 258.72 194.51 153.90 Any delays in our billing and settlement process, or delays or defaults in our trade receivables or an increase in inventory and work in progress and/or accelerated payments to suppliers, an increase in performance bank guarantees requirements could adversely affect our working capital, lower our cash flows and materially increase the amount of working capital requirements. The actual amount and timing of our future working capital requirements may differ from estimates as a result of, among other factors, unforeseen events beyond our control, unforeseen delays or cost overruns, unanticipated expenses, regulatory changes, economic conditions, technological changes, revisions to business terms by customers and suppliers and additional market developments and new opportunities in the industries we operate. Further, our future success depends on our ability to continue to secure and successfully manage sufficient amounts of working capital. Our inability to obtain adequate amount of working capital at such termswhich are favourable to us and in a timely manner or at all may also have an adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Continued increases in our working capital requirements may have an adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Our business model is characterized by a lengthy order-to-cash cycle. From the receipt of purchase orders to the manufacture of the final product typically spans six to 24 months depending on product complexity. Post- production, product delivery and customer acceptance can take an additional two to eight weeks. This extended cycle significantly impacts our working capital requirements and overall cash flow.

Our business operates with a longer gestation period, characterized by a significant time gap between the receipt of orders and the subsequent payment. This extended timeline can substantially impact our working capital requirements and profitability. During the period between order receipt and payment collection, we are required to invest in raw materials, production, and other operational expenses without corresponding immediate revenue inflows. This mismatch can strain our liquidity and necessitate additional funding to meet our working capital needs, potentially increasing our financing costs and impacting our financial stability.

Moreover, the prolonged payment cycle can affect our overall profitability. Delays in payment receipts may lead to increased reliance on short-term borrowings, incurring higher interest expenses and reducing our net profit margins. Additionally, any disruptions or delays in the payment process, whether due to customer-related issues or external economic factors, can exacerbate these challenges, further affecting our cash flow and operational efficiency. As a result, the extended gestation period inherent inour business model poses a material risk to our financial performance and necessitates careful management of our working capital to ensure sustained profitability and business continuity. While such an instance has not occurred in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals that impacted our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, there cannot be any assurance that such an instance will not occur in the future.

17. We are dependent on our contract manufacturers for the large scale manufacturing of most of our products and this subjects us to risk which, if realized, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Further, any delays, quality issues, or disruptions can adversely impact our business.

We operate our business and operations on a contract manufacturing model. We manufacture pilot engineering units of our products and outsource the manufacturing of these products to contract manufacturers, primarily under non-exclusive manufacturing agreements. We are dependent on Kaynes Technology India Limited (“Kaynes”), Avalon Technology and Services Private Limited (“Avalon”) for manufacturing most of our products. The table below sets out the number of units by each of the EMS partner sold as a percentage of total units sold in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

Our reliance on contract manufacturers subjects us to various risks, including:  dependence on relationships with contract manufacturers, particularly for continuity of supply of products to us;  dependence on quality control systems of our contract-manufacturers, resulting in increased onus on us to supervise and monitor consistency in quality, characteristics, design specifications of our contract manufacturers’ finished products and their use ofraw materials;

 leakage of intellectual property or technical know-how;  dependence on contract manufacturing facilities, which are subject to customary operational risks such as the breakdown or failure of equipment, power supply disruption, performance below expected levels of output or efficiency, and spare parts for machinery, labor disputes, natural or man-made disasters, accidents, planned or unplanned shutdowns, and non-compliance with relevant government regulations;

and  adverse changes in the financial or business conditions of our contract manufacturers.

While there has been no such instance in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals where the operations of our contract manufacturers were disrupted or faced any issues due to the aforementioned factors, we cannot assure you that such instances will not arise in the future.

If we are required to replace any of our contract manufacturers, it could expose us to risk of supply chain disruption and we cannot assure you that we will be able to find suitable replacements at the same price, on terms favorable to us or within our expected timelines. Any loss of our contract manufacturers, if not adequately replaced, or other form of supply disruption, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. While there has been no such instance in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals where our agreement with contract manufacturers was terminated, we cannot assure you that such instances will not arise in the future.

While we have relationships involving definite term-agreements with our contract manufacturers, we cannot assure you that our contract manufacturers will perform their obligations in a timely manner or at all in the future, 44which could result in delays in supply of products and ultimately affect our brand image and relationships with our customers.

Our reliance on a select group of contract manufacturers could adversely affect our ability to procure an uninterrupted supply of products which are critical for our operations. Any disruptions in the operations of such contract manufacturers could materially affect the manufacture and supply of our products and exposes us to manufacturer concentration risk wherein a majority of our designs and products are manufactured by a limited set of contract manufacturers.

18. We may not qualify for or win bids to further expand our business, which may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Further, the number of orders we have received in the past, our current order book and our growth rate may not be indicative of the number of orders we will receive in future. Any delays in execution of our orders expose us to revenue volatilities adversely impacting our revenue from operations, cash flows and financial conditions.

Our business and growth depend on our ability to qualify for and win bids for awarding contracts. There can be no assurance that our current or potential competitors will not offer products and solutions comparable or superior to those that we offer at the same or lower prices, adapt more quickly to industry challenges, or expand their operations at a faster pace than we do. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced profit margins and loss of market share, thereby causing an adverse effect on our operations, prospects and financial condition.

As of June 30, 2026, we had an order book of ₹ 3,142.40million. Set out below is the details of our order book

from our customers:

Particulars Number of orders* Value (₹million) Domestic customers 30 2,318.72 Overseas customers 6 823.68 Total 36 3,142.40 * Comprises only firm orders, whichrepresent orders that have been contractually confirmed by customers, formally accepted by the Company, and are supported by binding documentation such as executed contracts or purchase orders.

Our order book may be materially impacted if the time taken or amount payable for completion of any ongoing

order of our Company exceeds the contractual estimate. The growth of our order book is a cumulative indication of the revenues that we expect to recognise in future periods with respect to our existing contracts. We cannot assure you that the income anticipated in our order book will be realised or if realised, will be realised on time or result in profits.

In Fiscal 2025 and 2026, we have had two contract cancellation for ₹280.83 million due to delay in developing a product with a sizeable R&D component for a customer within the specified time by our Company. While we have had only two cancellation (as stated above) in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals, there can be no assurance that the orders will not be cancelled or terminated prematurely in the future, and our Company will receive any applicable termination payments in time or at all or that the amount paid will be adequate to enable our Company to recover its investments in respect of the prematurely cancelled order. In such events, we may have to bear the actual costs for such production incurred by us which may exceed the agreed work as a result of which, our future earnings may be lower from the amount of the order book and if any of the forgoing risks materialize, our cash flow position, revenues and earnings may be adversely affected. For instance, in Fiscal 2026, our inventory levels were higher primarily due to the deferment of execution of a significant export

order to Fiscal 2027 on account of logistical disruptions arising from the West Asia crisis, which also impacted revenue recognition duringFiscal 2026.

Further, the tenders awarded in the past and the tenders that have been awarded but not yet executed, may not be indicative of the number of tenders we will be awarded in future.

The tenders awarded to us but not yet executed are subject to, among other things, cancellation due to any breach of our contractual obligations, non-payment by our customers, delays in the initiation of our production, unanticipated variations or adjustments in the scope and schedule of our obligations for reasons outside our control or change in budget appropriations particularly affecting our customers across the globe connected with the government bodies. We cannot guarantee that the income anticipated from these tenders will be realised, or, if realised, will be realised on time or result in profits. Further, even if our bids are successful, there may be delays in the awarding process.

45If we fail to accurately estimate our product cost or if we are unable to design, import or develop the products as per the required specifications, we may lose contracts or may be barred by the authorities to participate in the future bids. While there have been no instances in the past where we had been barred by any authority to participate in the bids, there can be no assurance that in the future we would not be barred by any authority to participate in bids. In addition to meeting bid capacity requirements, we may also be required to pre-qualify for certain orders such as in relation to background checks and prior experience of the bidders. However, we cannot assure that we shall always maintain our bid capacity and our pre-qualification capabilities, and that we shall be able to continually secure tenders so as to enhance our business operations, financial performance and results of operations. For instance, certain customers overseas might require our presence in their respective countries for a minimum period as a pre-qualification requirement, which we might not be able to meet and fail such requirements. Further, such pre-qualification criteria may also change from time to time. Our inability to fulfil and maintain the bid and pre-qualification capabilities may materially impact our operating revenue and profitability. While there has been no such instance in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such an instance will not occur in the future.

19. We have delayed in making certain regulatory filings required to be made with the RoC under applicable law in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024. Any delay in regulatory filings by us in the future, may result in the imposition of penalties and in turn may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows.

Our Company has experienced delays in filing certain forms with the RoC in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024. Please see table below for the details of the delay in filing of forms with the RoC in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024:

21. We dependon our Promoters, Key Managerial Personnel, and other senior management and skilled and qualified personnel with technical expertise, and if we are unable to recruit and retain them, our business and our ability to operate or grow our business may be adversely affected.

Our success depends significantly on our Promoters, Key Management Personnel and other senior management and skilled and qualified personnel. Over the last 13 years, we have built a 339 member team which includes members with deep expertise in infrared imaging, optics, lasers, sensor fusion, and machine learning. The management team has worked together for over 21 years, overseeing multi-year global defence programs and pioneering next-generation military technologies. The loss of their services may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We believe that their inputs and experience in the fields of, inter alia, imaging and computer vision, R&D in defence, surveillance and automative safety, optics, machine learning, etc. along with their past experience in the defence sector are valuable for the development of business and operations and the strategic steps taken by our Company. Our Promoter, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Arvind Kondangi Lakshmikumar has over 21 years of experience in raising capital, running our product engineering teams globally and managing government and enterprise sales at our Company. Further, our Promoter, Executive Director and Chief Business and Revenue Officer, Ankit Kumar, has over 21 years of experience running our research and development programs in defence, surveillance and automotive safety globally and is a domain expert inoptics, computer vision and machine learning automotive. Further, our Promoter, Executive Director and Chief Commercial Officer, Cecilia D’Souza has over 21 years of experience in finance, accounting and management of our multi-location international business and has a strong background in international accounting, mergers and acquisitions, procurement and operational logistics. We are highly dependent on our Promoters to manage our current operations and to meet future business challenges. The active involvement of our Promoters in our operations, including the strategy, direction and customer relationships have been integral to our development and business.

We cannot assure you that their services will continue to be available to us, or that we will be able to find a suitable replacement if required.

The following table sets forth the attrition rate in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

For further details regarding the employees, see “Our Business –Human Resources” on page 276.

Further, the successful completion of our contracts, the day-to-day operations and the planning and execution of our business strategy depends significantly on our Key Management Personnel and other senior management and skilled and qualified personnel. Weare also heavily dependent on our engineering talent. The availability of such specialized talent is limited, and the defence electronics sector competes with civilian tech firms. Although, the production, engineering and finance teams have increased in number from ~170 to ~350 personnel over the past three months ended June 30, 2026 and the past three years, we cannot assure you that we will be able to retain them or that we will be able to adequately replace such skilled and experienced personnel, if they choose to leave us. This may lead to a lack of domain expertise for key positions in our Company which may adversely affect our business. Loss of key personnel or inability to attract new talent due to compensation or regulatory barriers could hamper execution.

Moreover, our ability to execute tenders depends on our ability to attract, train, motivate and retain senior management and highly skilled and qualified personnel due to the complex nature of our products. We cannot assure you that we will be able to retain these professionals or find adequate replacements in a timely manner, or at all. To the extent we lose such skilled and qualified personnel, we will be required to find ways to successfully manage the transfer of confidential information from them to their replacements. Furthermore, the loss of any of the members of our Key Management Personnel and other senior management and skilled and qualified personnel or an inability on our part to manage the attrition levels, may lead to loss of technical knowledge which may materially and adversely impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

22. Failure to compete effectively against our competitors and new entrants to the industry may adversely affect our business, financial condition and resultsof operations.

As per the F&S Report, to assess our Company’s positioning within both the Indian and global defence electro-optics (EO/IR) landscape, it is essential to benchmark against companies that operate in closely related domains and demonstrate comparable technological relevance.For details on our competitors, see “Our Business – Competition” and “Industry Overview” on pages 280 and 160, respectively. We compete on the basis of our ability to fulfil our contractual obligations including the quality of products and the timely delivery of the products.

Our competitors may have substantially greater financial, management, research and marketing resources than we have as a result of which they may be able to utilise their resources and economies of scale to develop improved products, sell products at a lower cost which may be attributed to the use of cheaper raw material alternatives, divert sales away from us by winning broader contracts or hire our employees by offering more lucrative compensation packages. Our competitors may be able to provide our customers, with different or greater capabilities or benefits than we can provide in areas such as technology, technical qualifications, post contract performance, price and availability of key professional personnel. Further, our overseas customers might prefer vendors based in their geography or region. Our failure to compete effectively with respect to any of these or other factors could have an adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition or operating results.

The liberalisation of the Indian defence sector to allow private and/or foreign companies to participate in defence contracts has increased our competition by manifolds. In addition, the introduction of the Draft Defence Production and Export Promotion Policy, 2020 (“Draft DPEPP”), as an overarching guiding document of Ministry of Defence to provide a focused, structured and significant thrust to defence production capabilities of the country for self - reliance and exports, while providing opportunities for our Company, have also increased competition within Indian companies and OEMs.

Further, the competitive bidding process entails managerial time to prepare bids and proposals for contracts and may require us to resort to price cuts in order to win tenders which may not be otherwise awarded to us. Following 51an award, we may encounter significant expenses, delays or contract modifications. Once the prospective bidders satisfy the qualification requirements of the tender, the tender is usually awarded based on the quote submitted by the prospective bidder. We prepare our quotes through estimations based on our budget and bid for the proposals.

Once the bids are evaluated by the customer, the bidder offering a competitive price and meeting other criteria, including a successful field trial, is awarded the project. We spend considerable time and resources in the preparation and submission of bids and we still cannot assure you that our bids, when submitted would be accepted. We have lost certain bids during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals on account of tenders where specifications were loosely defined, we cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against our competitors as well as new entrants in our industry in the future.

To remain competitive, we must consistently provide products with good performance and capability to our customers, advanced technology solutions at an affordable cost and with the agility that our customers require to satisfy their objectives. Our inability to successfully do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and/ or operating results. Moreover, if we are not able to further develop our proximity to our customers and make our vendor-supplier ecosystem more efficient or as efficient as our competitors, there can be no assurance that we will be able to grow or effectively compete in the industry.

23. Our products are complex and technologically advanced and could have unknown defects or errors which could lead to accidents and injury of other aerial or ground objects, including living beings, which in turn may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We design and manufacture sophisticated electro-optical systems that integrate multiple sensors, embedded processors, power electronics, optical assemblies, and software modules, often customized for mission-critical applications in harsh field conditions.Given the complexity of these systems and their use in dynamic operational environments, there remains an inherent risk of undetected defects or performance degradation during field deployment, despite rigorous internal testing and validation protocols. Leveraging modern computer vision and deep learning algorithms on low-resolution infrared data remains a technically complex task due to several interlinked challenges across physics, hardware, and algorithmic domains. Computer vision on low-resolution infrared data is fundamentally hard because it pushes against the limits of signal quality, semantic content, and computational resources. Solving this requires specialised deep learning models trained on domain-specific infrared datasets, sensor-aware pre-processing, and innovations in low-size, low-weight and low power artificial intelligence hardware. As per the F&S Report, AI is transforming Electro-Optical/Infrared and multispectral imaging into autonomous “intelligent surveillance” assets capable of detecting, classifying, and tracking threats in real time. For further details, see “Industry Overview –Developments in AI” on page 225. However, any error on the part of advanced technology or applications would not only lead to the breach of regulatory compliances but may also lead to accidents and injury of other aerial or ground objects, including living beings. Further, any unknown error in technology could deter the clarity of video and display blurred or incorrect images which could impact the mapping and surveillance applications of the products. The success of our products is dependent on the level of data accuracy provided by them and any kind of unknown error in technology might lead to incorrect mapping in terms of measurements thereby causing an adverse impact on our business. While there have been no such instances in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals, failure of a system in the field can lead to customer dissatisfaction, loss of credibility, warranty claims, or disqualification from future tenders.

Integrating new features or components as necessitated by customer-specific needs or supply constraints introduces additional engineering and quality assurance challenges. Although, we have put in place internal quality assurance and quality control systems to ensure that our products will be able to satisfy our customers’ quality standards, we cannot assure you that errors of any kind would not be detected or reported in the future.

24. We could incur losses under our fixed price contracts as a result of cost overruns, delays in delivery or failures to meet contract specifications which may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Once awarded, all of our contracts are fixed-price contracts. All costs including labour and raw materials costs are forecasted by us when we enter such fixed-price contracts. In case of cost variances from such estimates, we are permitted to retain all cost savings on completed contracts but are liable for the full amount of all cost overruns.

The actual costs incurred on a fixed-price contract may vary from our estimates due to factors such as:  unanticipated variations in labour and equipment productivity over the term of a contract;  unanticipated increase in labour, raw material and overhead costs;

52 increase in cost of imported raw materials due to adverse foreign exchange rate movement;  delivery delays and corrective measures for poor workmanship;  equipment failures;  changes in the specifications provided by our customers;

 obsolescence of any components; and  changes in testing requirements.

We cannot assure you that these contracts can be completed profitably. Significant cost overruns on our fixed price contracts could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Depending on the size of the project, variations from estimated contract performance could significantly reduce our earnings, and could result in losses, during any quarter of a fiscal or entire fiscal.

Further, our contracts also have certain onerous clauses, which requires refund of the difference if our Company supplies a similar system at a lower price to another GoI ministry/department, and clauses under which during extension periods attributable to our Company, any increase in statutory duties, foreign exchange rate movements, variations in component prices is to our Company’s account. If any such onerous clause of the customer contracts gets triggered, our profitability may get adversely affected.

There can be no assurance that our customers in future will not rescind their contracts with us if there is a delay in delivery beyond the time stipulated in the contract or we may need to renegotiate some of our contracts. This may have an impact on our reputation, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and prospects. While such an instance has not occurred in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such instances will not occur in the future.

25. If we are unableto maintain our relationships with our system integrators or if any of them change the terms of their arrangements with us, our business could be adversely affected.

We sold our products through our network of system integrators. The table below sets forth contribution of system integrators to our revenue from operations in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

Particulars As of/for the three As of/for the year As of/ for the year As of/ for the year months ended ended March 31, ended March 31, ended March 31, June 30, 2026 2026 2025 2024 Revenue generated from system 43.11 874.12 451.79 307.57 aggregators (in ₹ million) Revenue generated from system 11.97 24.10 9.63 7.18 aggregators as percentage of revenue from operations(%) Accordingly, our sales are subject to demand variability from our system integrators. We do not enter into long- term agreements with our system integrators for purchase of our products, we typically execute purchase orders and memorandum of understandings (indicative in nature) with these system integrators, Since, our system integrators are generally not obliged to continue purchasing products from us, or otherwise retain their business relationships with us, there is no assurance that their purchase orders or engagements will remain constant or increase or that we will be able to maintain or add to our existing customer base. While the level and timing of orders we receive vary for multiple reasons, general economic conditions, we may also witness reduced orders owing to system integrators receiving better prices, terms and conditions from our competitors. System integrators submitting a tender may cancel, reduce or delay their orders. If we are unable to anticipate and respond to the demands of our system integrators, we may lose customers because we have an inadequate supply of products to cater to their particular requirements. If there is a consolidation in the system integrators landscape, or system integrators wish to change the terms of their typical contracts with us, we may not be able to re-negotiate terms which are beneficial to us or which are financially viable. If we are unable to negotiate mutually agreeable terms with such parties, we may lose our system integrators. We may be unable to maintain or grow the size of our system integrators base or the level of engagement of our system integrators. This could adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. While we have not faced any instances of loss 53of system integrators that materially impacted our operations in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such an instance will not occur in the future.

26. We have significant employee benefit expenses, such as salaries and bonus, gratuity, staff welfare expenses, expense on ESOP and contribution to provident and other funds. In case we face an increase in employee benefit expenses that we are unable to pass on to our customers, we may be prevented from maintaining our competitive advantage and our profitability may be impacted.

As of June 30, 2026, we had 339 employees. We are subject to labour legislations that protect the interests of workers, including legislations that set forth detailed procedures for dispute resolution and employee removal and impose certain financial obligations on employers upon retrenchment of employees, as well as laws and regulations relating to employee welfare and benefits such as minimum wage and maximum working hours, overtime, working conditions, non-discrimination, employee compensation, employee insurance, bonus, gratuity, provident fund, leave benefits and other such employee benefits. These legislations require compliance, from time to time, which may among others, involve payments to be made depending upon their period of employment. If we failto comply with labour welfare legislations, we may be exposed to fines and we may also face the risk of our licenses under applicable legislations being cancelled or suspended. While such an instance has not occurred in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you such an instance will not take place in the future. For further details on the labour laws and other regulations applicable to us, please refer to “Key Regulations and Policies” on page 282.

We also incur various employee costs, including salaries and bonus, gratuity, staff welfare expenses, expense on ESOP and contribution to provident and other funds. Employee benefit expenses constituted the second largest component of our total expenses in the Fiscal 2026 and the three months ended June 30, 2026, the table below sets forth the details of employee benefit expenses incurred in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

Particulars As of/for the three As of/for the year As of/ for the year As of/ for the year months ended ended March 31, ended March 31, ended March 31, June 30, 2026 2026 2025 2024 Employee benefit expenses (in 155.94 495.83 444.35 130.55 ₹ million) Employee benefit expenses as 25.53 16.53 11.87 3.87 percentage of total expenses (%) In the event the welfare requirements under labour regulations applicable to us are changed, which leads to an increase in employee benefits payable by us, there can be no assurance that we will be able to recover such increased amounts from our customers in a timely manner, or at all. Our profit margins may get adversely impacted if we are unable to pass on such cost increases to our customers.

27. Our Company will not receive any proceeds from the Offer for Sale. Our Selling Shareholders will receive theproceeds from the Offer for Sale.

The Offer comprises of an Offer for Sale by the Selling Shareholders. Our Selling Shareholders shall be entitled to the entire proceeds from the Offer for Sale (net of their portion of the Offer-related expenses), in accordance with SEBI ICDR Regulations, and we will not receive any proceeds from the Offer for Sale. For further information, see “The Offer” on page 84.Since our Company is not raising any primary capital, the initial public offering will not strengthen its balance sheet or provide funds for its business operations, expansion, or any other corporate purposes. The proceeds from the Offer for Sale will be transferred to each of the Selling Shareholders, in proportion to its respective portion of the Offered Shares transferred by each of them in the Offer for Sale (after deducting applicable Offer-related expenses and taxes).

28. Security breach in classified government systems could adversely affect our business.

A significant number of designs we develop, and products we manufacture and maintain involve managing and protecting information involved in intelligence, national security and other classified government functions. While we have programmes designed to comply with relevant security laws, regulations and restrictions, a security breach in one of these systems could cause serious harm to our business, damage our reputation and prevent us from being eligible for further work on such critical classified designsfor the various customers across the globe that we associate with. Further, most of our manufacturing is outsourced to third parties who will also have access 54to such intelligence and classified government information, if any of these third party manufacturers misuse or mishandle such information, we may face adverse consequences and it could result in damage to reputation and consequent loss in revenue and business.

Damage to our reputation or limitations on our eligibility for additional work resulting from such security breach, could materially reduce our revenue. We may experience cyber security threats, threats to our information technology infrastructure and attempts to gain access to our Company’s sensitive information. We have installed anti-virus software to prevent our systems and infrastructure from being infected and crippled by computer viruses. All our internet facing servers installed at all our data centres as well as at all our offices are also secured with firewalls and intrusion preventions systems to prevent hacking.

The threats we may face, may vary from attacks common to most industries to more advanced and persistent, highly organised adversaries who could target us because we design and manufacture products which contribute to national security. If we are unable toprotect sensitive information, our customers or governmental authorities could question the adequacy of our threat mitigation and detection processes and procedures. Due to the evolving nature of these security threats, however, the impact of any future incident cannot be predicted. The costs related to cyber or other security threats or disruptions may not be fully insured or indemnified by other means.

Occurrence of any of these events could adversely affect our internal operations, the services we provide to our customers, loss of competitive advantages derived from our research, design and development efforts or other intellectual property, early obsolescence of our products and services, our future financial results, our reputation or our stock price. While such an instance has not occurred inthe three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such an instance will not take place in the future.

29. Our operations involve activities and materials which are hazardous in nature and could result in a suspensionof operations, injury to our personnel, emission of pollutants and/or the imposition of civil or criminal liabilities which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flow and financial condition.

Certain operations at our research centre can cause accidents during the manufacturing process resulting in serious injuries or death of employees or other persons, if improperly handled, and cause damage to our properties or equipment and the properties of others or to the environment. Our operations are subject to significant hazards, including explosions, fires, mechanical failures and other operational problems, inclement weather and natural disasters, discharges or releases of hazardous substances and other environmental risks. While we have not experienced any such instance in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such accidents will not occur in the future.

The occurrence of any of these hazards could result in a suspension of operations and/or the imposition of civil or criminal liabilities. We may also face claims and litigation, filed on behalf of persons alleging injury predominantly as a result of occupational exposure to hazards at our facilities. If these claims and lawsuits, individually or in the aggregate, are resolved against us, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition could be adversely affected. Further, our customers may require us to invest in additional safety protocols which impose incremental expenses and may impact our ability to operate at optimum efficiencies. Any such action by any of our customers may adversely impact our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

30. An inability to effectively manage our growth, implement our strategies and expansion plan may have an adverseeffect on our business prospects and future financial performance.

We cannot assure you that our growth strategy will be successful in the future, or that our revenue from operations will grow at a consistent rate. The success of our business will depend greatly on our ability to effectively implement our business and growth strategies. These include, continued investment in R&D to achieve defence modernization through development of new products; continued diversification of product portfolio; pursue strategic partnerships with OEMs; and increasing our customer base through expansion into new geographies. For details in relation to our strategies, see “Our Business –Our Strategies” on page 258. The table below sets forth details of our revenue from operations and profit in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

Particulars Three months ended Fiscal 2026 Fiscal 2025 Fiscal. 2024 June 30, 2026 (in ₹ million) Revenue from 360.08 3,626.48 4,690.80 4,281.89 55operations Restated profit for the (177.37) 508.80 727.57 685.43 year We expect our strategies to place significant demands on our management and other resources and require us to continue developing and improving our operational, financial and other internal controls. We may not be successful in implementing our growth strategies due to various factors, including failure to adapt to rapidly evolving technological changes, changing customer preferences, change in business and spending plans of our customers, anticipate and accurately assess potential growth opportunities and new markets and effectively allocate resources and capital investment in a timely and cost-effective manner to capitalize on such opportunities, attract new customers, obtain sufficient financing for our expected capital expenditures, control input costs, effectively manage our internal supply chain, manufacturing processes and operations and costs related to R&D and maintain sufficient operational and financial controls. Many of these factors are beyond our control and we cannot assure you that we will succeed in implementing our strategies. Our inability to effectively manage the expansion of our business and execute our strategies effectively, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

31. We are dependent on third party transportation and logistics service providers. Any increase in the charges of these entities or any defect, damage or destruction caused to our products during the process of delivery could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Pursuant to our arrangements with certain customers, based on customer preferences, we are typically required to pay the freight costs for the products we sell to such customers. In addition, we may have to pay for transportation costs in relation to the delivery of some of the raw materials and other inputs to our contract manufacturing facilities. We do not own any vehicles for the transportation of our products and/or raw materials, we therefore rely on third party transportation and logistics providers for delivery of our raw materials and products.

As on June 30, 2026, we engaged certain vendors who provide transportation and logistics services. We do not have any long-term contractual arrangements with such third-party transportation and logistics providers, we make payments based on monthly invoices submitted by them. Disruptions of logistics could impair our ability to procure raw materials and/or deliver our products on time, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The table below sets out our freight and forwarding expenses (net of recovery) and our freight and forwarding expenses (net of recovery) as a percentage of our total expenses and our revenue from operations in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

Particulars Three months ended Fiscal 2026 Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 June 30, 2026 (₹million, except percentages) Freight and 3.20 11.84 37.83 15.16 forwarding expenses (net of recovery) Freight and 0.52 0.39 1.01 0.45 forwarding expenses (net of recovery) as a percentage of total expenses Freight and 0.89 0.33 0.81 0.35 forwarding expenses (net of recovery) as a percentage of revenue from operations We may be responsible for the transport of our products and accordingly be exposed to the risk of theft, accidents, defect, damage and/or loss of our products in transit. While there have been no material instances of theft, accident or loss in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such incidents will not occur in future. Any such acts could result in serious liability claims (for which we may not be adequately insured) which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

5632. Our Company is involved in certain outstanding legal and regulatory proceedings. Further, one of our Directors is involved in certain outstanding legal proceedings. Any adverse decision in such proceedings may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

There are outstanding legal and regulatory proceedings involving our Company which are pending at different levels of adjudication before various courts, tribunals and other authorities, as well as an outstanding legal proceeding against one of our Directors. Such proceedings could divert the management’s time and attention and consume financial resources in their defence or prosecution. The amounts claimed in these proceedings have been disclosed to the extent that such amounts are ascertainable and quantifiable and include amounts claimed jointly and severally, as applicable. Any unfavourable decision in connection with such proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, could adversely affect our reputation, continuity of our management, business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations. The summary of such outstanding material legal and regulatory proceedings

#Our Company, our Promoterand Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Arvind Kondangi Lakshmikumar and our Nominee Director, Amit Dilip Shah, have been named as parties in the same matter.

Further, as on the date of this Prospectus, our Group Company, CEAQ Singapore, has been named as a party to an ongoing matter before the Singapore High Court. For further details, see “Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments -Litigation involving our Group Companies” on page 451.

We cannot assure you that any of these matters will be settled in favour of our Company or that no additional liability will arise out of these proceedings. Further, we cannot assure you that there will be no new legal and regulatory proceedings involving our Company, Subsidiary, Promoters, Directors, Group Company, Key Managerial Personnel or Senior Management in the future.For instance, an individual investor, namely Mr. Harshad Ajit Lahoti, who is a minority shareholder of CEAQ Singapore but not a shareholder in our Company, issued legal notices, seeking certain disclosures and documents relating to our proposed Offer and alleging that he should have been given an opportunity to participate in the preference share issuance in 2024. CEAQ Singapore is an investor in our Company. Our Company and CEAQ Singapore have responded to the legal notices, denying the allegations and confirming the absence of any direct contractual relationship between the individual and our Company. Subsequently, pursuant to a letter dated October 2, 2026received by usfrom the lawyer of Mr. Harshad Ajit Lahoti, we understand that Mr. Harshad Ajit Lahotihas filed a suit against, inter alia, CEAQ Singapore, our Company and certain other parties including our Promoter and Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Arvind Kondangi 57Lakshmikumar and our Nominee Director, Amit Dilip Shah,in the Singapore High Court. Please see, “Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments -Material civil litigation against our Company” on page448, for further details. There can be no assurance that any such action, even if not ultimately successful, could not result in delay, increased costs, reputational harm or other adverse effects on our Company. An adverse outcome in any of these proceedings may have an adverse effect on our business, financial position, prospects, cash flows, results of operations and ourreputation.Additionally, there may be proceedings/ matters involving our Company before various legal/ judicial bodies including criminal, civil or tax matters in relation to which we have not received any notice or summons or any other form of communication, or suchproceedings may not have been admitted before the respective courts or adjudicating authority and accordingly such matters have not been disclosed in this Prospectus. For further information, see “Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments” on page 447.

33. We have incurred indebtedness and an inability to obtain further financing or to comply with repayment and other covenants in our financing agreements could adversely affect our business, results ofoperations, cash flows and financial condition.

We have entered into financing arrangements with various lenders to fund our working capital requirements. As of August 31, 2026, we had fund based working facilities of ₹ 1,705.07 million and non-fund based working capital facilities of ₹ 955.00 million. Our ability to obtain financing is subject to a variety of uncertainties, including our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity of global capital and lending markets. Further, financing may not be available in a timely manner or in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Further, if we are required to raise equity financing, this could result in dilution to our Shareholders. Our ability to pay interest and repay the principal for our indebtedness is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to service such debt. Any additional indebtedness we incur may have consequences, including, requiring us to use a significant portion of our cash flow from operations and other available cash to service our indebtedness, thereby reducing the funds available for other purposes, including capital expenditure and reducing our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business, competition pressures and market conditions.

Our financing arrangements include conditions that require us to obtain respective lenders’ consent prior to carrying out certain activities and entering into certain transactions including altering our capital structure change in our shareholding pattern, changing the management of the Company, and alteration in the constitutional documents. Failure to meet these conditions or obtain these consents could have significant consequences on our business and operations. As of the date of this Prospectus, we have received all consents required from our lenders in connection with the Offer.

In terms of security, we have provided security by way of, inter alia, first pari passu charge on all present and future stocks and book debts and 20% cash margin in the form of fixed deposits with certain banks and personal guarantee provided by the Promoters, namely, Arvind Kondangi Lakshmikumar, Ankit Kumar and Cecilia D'Souza. We may also be required to furnish additional security if required by our lenders. Further, our Promoters have executed a non-disposal undertaking with EXIM Bank for the Equity Shares held by them. Additionally, these financing agreements also require us to maintain certain financial ratios. While there has been no breach of such covenants in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that we will be able to comply with these financial or other covenants at all times or that we will be able to obtain the consent necessary to take the actions that we believe are required to operate and grow our business. Further, there has been no re-scheduling/ re-structuringin relation to borrowings availed by us from any financial institutions or banks in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals.

Further, we are susceptible to changes in interest rates and the risks arising therefrom. The interest rates of the working capital facilities of our Company are primarily linked to the benchmark rates, such as the marginal cost of lending rate (MCLR). For further information on the interest charged under our financing agreements, see “Financial Indebtedness –Key terms of the borrowings availed by our Company” on page 445.

34. The industry in which we operate is subject to significant technical, competitive, operational and regulatory challenges globally and in India, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We operate in the EO/IR systems segment of the defence electronics industry, which is subject to a number of threats and challenges both globally and in India. These challenges may individually or collectively have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The EO/IR industry involves inherent technical complexities, including: (a) trade-offs between SWaP and system performance, wherein higher resolution and range requirements increase the size, weight and cost of systems, 58conflicting with the growing demand for compact, low-SWaP solutions; (b) significant costs associated with ruggedisation of systems to military-grade reliability standards for extreme environments, including high temperatures, vibration and shock, which add complexity and expense to our manufacturing processes; (c) specialised manufacturing requirements for thermal detectors, optical coatings and gimbal assemblies that require precision fabrication, where defects in production could cause delays and cost overruns; and (d) integration complexity arising from multi-sensor, AI-enabled EO/IR systems that must integrate seamlessly with platforms, mission computers and network architectures. Any failure to effectively manage these technical challenges could result in delays in product delivery, increased costs and loss of customer confidence, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. While we have not experienced any material instance in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals where such technical challenges adversely impacted our results of operations, we cannot assure you that such instances will not arise in the future.

The EO/IR industry is characterised by: (a) high entry barriers, including significant R&D costs, long product qualification cycles and stringent defence certifications, which, while providing incumbent advantages, also constrain our ability to rapidly scale or pivot to new market segments; (b) market concentration, with the global EO/IR market being dominated by large OEMs, and smaller firms facing challenges in competing without niche specialisation or partnerships; and (c) supply chain vulnerabilities arising from dependence on suppliers located in a limited number of countries, where geopolitical tensions or export control regimes such as the ITAR and the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”) can restrict component flow. Any adverse change in the competitive landscape, loss of niche positioning or inability to secure strategic partnerships could adversely affect our ability to compete effectively and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The production of critical components for our products is dependent on suppliers being able to procure raw materials, such as Germanium, Silicon and Carbon. Germanium is a scarce and expensive raw material and is subject to government licensing and export restrictions in certain geographies, particularly China. Raw materials such as Germanium and rare earth elements used in infrared optics are mined in only a few countries, including China and Russia, and face increasing scarcity and price volatility. Any disruption in the supply of such raw materials, whether due to geopolitical tensions, export restrictions, supply shortages or price increases, could materially affect our supply chain, increase our production costs and delay the delivery of our products. While we have not experienced any material disruption in the supply of such raw materials in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such instances will not arise in the future.

Our operations are also exposed to the following risks: (a) the evolution of countermeasures by adversaries, including camouflage, thermal masking, laser dazzlers and decoys, which necessitates constant innovation and investment in research and development to maintain the effectiveness of our products; (b) volatility in defence Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (“ISR”) budgets, which may be subject to cuts or delays due to economic downturns or shifting strategic priorities of our customers; and (c) increasing return on investment pressure, whereby programmes increasingly require clear mission-impact justification for funding approval, which may result in delays or cancellation of orders. Any reduction or delay in defence spending on EO/IR systems could adversely affect our order book, revenue from operations and overall financial performance.

In India, the EO/IR sector faces a unique set of challenges as it endeavours to build indigenous capacity and reduce reliance onimports, including:

(a) Dependency and supply risks: Core technologies, including InSb/MCT detectors, thermal camera cores and gimbals, arestill partially sourced from abroad, exposing Indian industry participants, including our Company, to supply delays, restrictions and technology denial. While indigenous capability is maturing, there remains an interim reliance on imports for certain critical components under a hybrid sourcing model.

(b) Procurement and policy barriers: Bureaucratic procurement cycles with long timelines and procedural complexities have historically favoured established foreign OEMs over domestic innovators. While the “Make in India” initiative and the Defence Acquisition Procedure 2020 (“DAP 2020”) provide preferential policies for indigenous suppliers, contract awards and upgrade continuity remain inconsistent in practice, which could affect our ability to secure and execute orders in a timely manner.

(c) Funding and market size constraints: The development of advanced EO/IR capabilities, including detector fabrication, cooled infrared technology and space-based sensors, requires sustained capital investment. Our Company may face challenges in accessing adequate capital for such intensive R&D.

59Further, the domestic market remains smaller than that of global peers, making exports necessary for achieving scale, but the international market is highly competitive.

(d) Industrial base and skills gap: There exist gaps in specialised manufacturing capabilities in India, including in precision optics, vacuum semiconductor processing, cryocoolers and quality control.

Additionally, there is a shortfall in testing infrastructure, including calibrated ranges and environmental test facilities required for EO/IR certification, which could affect the pace of product development and qualification.

(e) Operational and environmental factors: Systems deployed in India must withstand extreme heat, dust and humidity without performance degradation, requiring additional ruggedisation that adds to development costs and timelines.

Any of the foregoing challenges, individually or collectively, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and prospects. While we have not experienced any material adverse impact on our results of operations on account of the above challenges in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such instances will not arise in the future. For further information, see “Our Business” and “Industry Overview” on pages 245and 160, respectively.

35. Our Registered Office (which is also our research centre) and Corporate Office are not located on land owned by us andwe have only leasehold rights. In the event we lose or are unable to renew such leasehold rights, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

However, in the event that our landlords do not have or fail to maintain good title to the land and properties in which our premises are situated or fail to comply with requirements of applicable law with respect to ownership and use of such land, or if such land is, or becomes subject to, any dispute, we may be required to terminate our leases with such landlords. Additionally, upon expiration of the relevant agreement for such premises, we will be required to negotiate the terms and conditions on which the lease agreement may be renewed. We cannot assure you that we will be able to renew these agreements on commercially reasonable terms in a timely manner, or at all. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compel our landlords to act in accordance with the provisions of our lease agreements. Any defect in title or ownership of the land or buildings leased from our landlords, non- compliance of applicable laws by landlords with respect to our premises or legal proceedings between our landlords and us may have an adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.

While all our leases can be terminated unilaterally by us, our landlords may terminate the lease upon the occurrence of certain breaches, inter alia, a petition or application for winding up, or liquidation by either party, material default in relation to the provisions of the lease deed, any inaccuracy, misrepresentation, deviation or 62failure of representations and warranties, etc. We cannot assure you that upon such occurrence we will be able to make alternative arrangements on short notice and we cannot assure you that the new arrangements will be on commercially acceptable terms. If we are required to relocate our business operations during this period, we may suffer a disruption in our operations or have to pay increased charges, which could have an adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition. If we are unable to renew these leases or relocate on commercially suitable terms, it may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition. While we have not experienced any such instance in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such an instance will not occur in the future. In addition, lease agreements are required to be duly registered and adequately stamped under Indian law and if any of our lease agreements are not duly registered and adequately stamped, we may face challenges in enforcing them. Further, such stamp duty may not be accepted as evidence in a court of law and we may be required to pay penalties for inadequate stamp duty.

36. Our Corporate Office has been leasedto us by one of our Promoters. We cannot assure you that we could not have achieved more favorable terms had such transactions been entered into with unrelated parties and that such transactions, will not have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We have leased our Corporate Office from our Promoter, Arvind Kondangi Lakshmikumar. We have paid rent to our Promoter, amounting to ₹0.53million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and ₹2.10 millionfor each of the Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

We have in the ordinary course of our business entered into such transactions, and while all such transactions have been conducted on an arm’s length basis and have been duly approved by our Board of Directors and/or Audit Committee in accordance with the Companies Act, we cannot assure you that we could not have achieved more favourable terms had such transactions been entered into with unrelated parties. We cannot assure you that such future transactions will not have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows or that we could not have achieved more favourable terms if such future transactions had not been entered into with related parties.

37. If we areunable to establishand maintain an effective internal controls and compliance system, our business and reputation could be adversely affected.

We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control measures commensurate with the size and complexity of operations. Our internal audit functions make an evaluation of the adequacy and effectiveness of internal systems on an ongoing basis so that our operations adhere to our policies, compliance requirements and internal guidelines. We periodically test and update our internal processes and systems and there have been no instances of failure to maintain effective internal controlsand compliance system in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals. However, we are exposed to operational risks arising from the potential inadequacy or failure of internal processes or systems, and our actions may not be sufficientto ensure effective internal checks and balances in all circumstances.

We take reasonable steps to maintain appropriate procedures for compliance and disclosure and to maintain effective internal controls over our financial reporting so that we produce reliable financial reports and prevent financial fraud. As risks evolve and develop, internal controls must be reviewed on an ongoing basis. Maintaining such internal controls requires human diligence and compliance and is therefore subject to lapses in judgment and failures that result from human error. Any lapses in judgment or failures that result from human error can affect the accuracy of our financial reporting, resulting in a loss of investor confidence and a decline in the price of our equity shares.

38. Technology failures could disrupt our operations and adversely affect our business operations and financialperformance.

Our IT systems are vital to our business and we have adopted IT policies to assist us in our operations. Our privacy policy deals with our treatment of personally identifiable information that we gather when customers are availing, accessing or using our website or by using our services and/or products in any manner. We are subject to various kinds of cyber threats, which vary from attacks common to most industries to more advanced and persistent, highly organised adversaries who target us because we protect national security information. If we are unable to protect sensitive information, our customers or governmental authorities could question the adequacy of our threat mitigation and detection processes and procedures. Due to the evolving nature of these security threats, however, the impact of any future incident cannot be predicted.

63Although we have a privacy policy in place and we work cooperatively with our customers, suppliers to seek to minimise the impact of cyber threats, other security threats or business disruptions, we must rely on the safeguards put in place by these entities, which may affect the security of our information. These entities have varying levels of cyber security expertise and safeguards and their relationships with government contractors may increase the likelihood that they are targeted by the same cyber threats we face.

The key functions of our IT team include establishing and maintaining enterprise information systems and infrastructure services to support our business requirements, maintaining secure enterprise operations through, among others, risk assessment and incident management policies. We have implemented security measures intended to prevent unauthorised access to our information technology system, such measures may not detect or prevent all attempts to compromise our systems, including viruses, malicious software, break-ins, phishing attacks, security breaches or other attacks and similar disruptions that may jeopardize the security of information stored in. Breaches of our cybersecurity measures could result in unauthorized access to our systems, misappropriation of information or data, deletion or modification of users information, or a denial of service or other interruption to our business operations. The costs related to cyber or other security threats or disruptions may not be fully insured or indemnified by other means. Given the nature of our business, occurrence of any of these events could adversely affect our internal operations, the services we provide to our customers, loss of competitive advantages derived from our research, design and development efforts or other intellectual property, early obsolescence of our products and services, our future financial results, our reputation or our stock price.

While we have not experienced any instances of security breaches in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such instance will not arise in the future.

39. There have been certain instances of delays in payment of statutory dues by us in the past. Any delay in paymentof statutory dues by us in future, may result in the imposition of penalties and in turn may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows.

We are required to pay certain statutory dues including provident fund contributions under the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, employee state insurance contributions under the Employees’ State Insurance Act, 1948, professional tax, tax deduction at source (“TDS”), labour welfare fund, GST, withholding tax and income tax. The table below sets forth the details of the delays in statutory dues payable

by us:

Note: These delays were primarily due to technical issues on the portal / unavailability of adequate funds on the respective dates.

As certified by Kalyanasundaram & Associates, Chartered Accountants,our Statutory Auditor, bearing FRN 005455S,by their certificate dated October 19, 2026.

64In order to address such liquidity constraints, our Company may, from time to time, undertake additional financing arrangements, including by way of debt or equity. For instance, in March, 2025, our Company undertook a private placement to augment working capital and improve liquidity. We cannot assure you that we will not be subject to such penalties and fines in the future for delays in payment of statutory dues, which may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

40. The loss of certain independent certification and accreditation of our products and the manufacturing practices thatwe have adopted could harm our business.

We obtain and maintain quality certifications and accreditations from independent certification entities in connection with the products we manufacture. For instance, we have the ISO 9001:2015 (quality management systems), ISO 14001:2015 (environmental management system) and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (information security management system) and ISO 28000:2022 (security and resilience-security management systems requirements) for design, development, manufacture and servicing of electro optical systems and imaging cores in the areas of infrared imaging for use in defence, commercial, security and industrial applications. Obtaining and maintaining these accreditations are critical to our products to be eligible for certain customers. Further, if we fail to comply with applicable quality standards or if the relevant accreditation institute or agency declines to certify our products and manufacturing practices, or if we are otherwise unable to obtain such quality accreditations in the future, in a timely manner or at all, our business prospects and financial performance will be adversely affected. While we have not experienced any instances where we failed to obtain quality certifications and accreditations which had an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows, we cannot assure you that such instances will not arise in the future.

41. Exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect our business, financial conditions, cash flows and results of operations.

Our financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees. However, our revenue is influenced by the currencies that we export in as well as by currencies of countries from where we procure our raw materials. Our foreign currency exposures, exchange rate fluctuations between the Indian Rupee and foreign currencies, especially USD, EURO, etc., may have an adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Failure to hedge effectively against exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect our business operations, financial conditions, results of operations and cash flows.While we have not experienced any instance in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals wherein our failure of hedging foreign exchange risks had a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, we cannot assure you that such instance will not arise in the future.

42. We have certain contingent liabilities that have been disclosed in our financial statements, which if they materialize, may adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

As of June 30, 2026, our contingent liabilities that have been disclosed in our Restated Consolidated Financial Statements, were as follows:

S. No. Particulars Amount (₹million)*

1. Bank guarantee 789.34 Total 789.34 *Notes

Our Company has not provided for the following contingent liabilities:

Name of the statute Amount Nature of dues Period to which Forum where dispute is (₹ million) it relates pending Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 5.78 GST 2018-19 J&K State High Court Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 2.54 GST FY 2017 -FY Commissioner of CGST Appeal 2022 If a significant portion of these liabilities materialize, it could have an adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that we will not incur similar or increased levels of contingent liabilities in the current Fiscal or in the future. For further information of contingent liability as at June 30, 2026 as per Ind AS 37, see “Restated Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 40 - Contingent Liabilities and Capital Commitments” on page 379.

6543. We may be unable to detect, deter and prevent all instances of fraud or negligence or other misconduct committed by our employees, customers or other third parties, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Many of our contracts involve tenders that are critical to the operations of our customer’s business. Further, as our operations are linked to the defence sector of various governments across the globe, certain documents and information are confidential because of national security related concerns. Any instances of fraud, theft or other misconduct in our Company can be difficult to detect, deter and prevent, and could subject us to financial losses and harm our reputation. We have established internal controls and mechanisms to address instances of fraud, theft, or other misconduct. These include defined policies on ethical conduct, internal audit procedures, and a framework to enable confidential reporting and investigation of concerns. Further, our Company has implemented appropriate safety and security measures across all its premises, such as deployment of security personnel, installation of surveillance / CCTV cameras, and biometric access controls to ensure secure entry. These measures collectively help mitigate risks and safeguard the Company’s assets, information, and operations. Although we have controls in place with respect to the handling of such cases, we may be unable to prevent, detect or deter all such instances of misconduct. Further, we may not be able to identify non-compliance and/or suspicious transactions in a timely manner or at all. Any such misconduct committed against our interests, which may include past acts that have gone undetected or future acts, may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. While we have not experienced any such instance inthe three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such an instance will not take place in the future.

44. Our insurance coverage may not be adequate or we may incur uninsured losses or losses in excess of our insurance coverage which may impact our financial condition, cash flows and results in operations.

We maintain insurance cover for terrorism, marine cargo, standard fire and special perils, fire floater, etc. We have also obtained insurance for our employees, directors, and KMPs, inter alia, directors and officers liability, keyman (sampoorna raksha promise), group personal accident, group mediclaim, group term life (Sampoorna suraksha) etc. For further information on the insurance policies availed by us, see “Our Business –Insurance” on page 280. These insurance policies are generally valid for one yearand are renewed yearly. We cannot assure you that the renewal of our insurance policies in the future will be granted in a timely manner, at acceptable cost or at all.

We could face liabilities or otherwise suffer losses should any unforeseen incident such as malfunction or failure of manufacturing equipment, natural disaster, fire, flood, and accidents affect our research centre or Registered Office and Corporate Office. Notwithstanding the insurance coverage that we carry, we may not be fully insured against certain types of risks. We cannot assure you that any claim under the insurance policies maintained by us will be honoured fully, in part, on time, or at all. To the extent that we suffer any loss or damage that is not covered by insurance or exceeds our insurance coverage, our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. Any damage suffered by us in excess of such limited coverage amounts, or in respect of uninsured events, not covered by such insurance policies will have to be borne by us.

The following table sets forth details of coverage of our insurance policies against the total insurable assets as at June 30, 2026, March 31,2026, March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively:

(2) Uninsured assets comprises right-of-use assets, intangible assets, capital work-in-progress, financial assets, investments, other financial assets, other non-current assets, trade receivables, cash and bank balances, other bank balances, loans and other current assets 68While we have not experienced any loss or damage that is not covered by insurance or exceeds our insurance in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such an instance will not occur in the future.

45. Certain sections of this Prospectus disclose information from the industry report titled “Assessment of Global and Indian Defence Electronics and Technology Industry” which is a paid report and commissioned and paid for by us exclusively in connection with the Offer and any reliance on such information for making an investment decision in the Offer is subject to inherent risks.

We have availed the services of an independent third-party research agency, Frost and Sullivan (India) Private Limitedappointed by our Company pursuant to an engagement letter dated June 29, 2026, to prepare an industry report titled “Assessment of Global and Indian Defence Electronics and Technology Industry” datedOctober 2026 (“F&S Report”), for purposes of inclusion of such information in this Prospectus to understand the industry in which we operate. Our Company, our Promoters, our Directors, our Key Managerial personnel, our Senior Management and our Book Running Lead Managers are not related to F&S. The F&S Report has been commissioned by our Company exclusively in connection with the Offer for a fee.

The F&S Report uses certain methodologies for market sizing and forecasting and may include numbers relating to us that differ from those we record internally. There are no standard data gathering methodologies in the markets in which we operate, and methodologies and assumptions vary widely among different industry sources.

Furthermore, industry sources and publications are also prepared based on information as of specific dates and may no longer be current or reflect current trends. Industry sources and publications may also base their information on estimates, projections, forecasts and assumptions that may prove to be incorrect. Industry sources do not guarantee the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the data. Statements from third parties that involve estimates are subject to change, and actual amounts may differ materially from those included in this Prospectus.

Furthermore, the F&S Report is not a recommendation to invest/ disinvest in any company covered in the F&S Report. Accordingly, prospective investors should not place undue reliance on, or base their investment decision solely on this information.

In view of the foregoing, you may not be able to seek legal recourse for any losses resulting from undertaking any investment in the Offer pursuant to reliance on the information in this Prospectus based on, or derived from, the F&S Report. You should consult your own advisors and undertake an independent assessment of information in this Prospectus based on, or derived from, the F&S Report before making any investment decision regarding the Offer. See “Industry Overview” on page 160.

46. Our Promoters, our Directors and, certain Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management may have interests in our Company in addition to their remuneration and reimbursement of expenses.

Our Promoters, Directors, and certain Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management may be regarded as having an interest in our Company other than the reimbursement of expenses incurred and normal remuneration or benefits. For further details, see “Our Management –Interest of Directors” and “Our Management –Interest of Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management” on page 306 and 316. Our Promoters and Chief Financial Officer are also interested to the extent of Equity Shares held by them and the transactions entered into by our Promoters, Chief Financial Officer and our Company. We cannot assure you that our Promoters, Directors and Key Managerial Personnel will exercise their rights as shareholders to the benefit and best interest of our Company under all circumstances. For further details, see “Capital Structure” and “Our Promoter and Promoter Group –Interests of Promoters” on pages 106and 319, respectively.

47. Most of our Directors do not have prior experience of holding a directorship in a company listed on the Stock Exchangeswhich may subject us to adverse regulatory actions if we are not able to comply with applicable laws, resulting in an impact on the price of our Equity Shares.

Most of our Directors do not have prior experience of being on the board of a company listed on the Stock Exchanges, or experience working at a listed company. Upon listing of the Equity Shares, our Company will be subject to the applicable regulatory requirements, including the regulations prescribed under SEBI Listing Regulations and the Companies Act. Any non-compliance with such regulatory framework, whether due to lack of such experience or otherwise, could subject us to adverse regulatory actions, and have animpact on the price of our Equity Shares.

6948. Certain non-GAAP financial measures and certain other statistical information relating to our operations and financial performance have been included in this Prospectus. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of operating performance or liquidity defined by Ind AS and may not be comparable.

Certain non-GAAP financial measures and certain other statistical information relating to our operations and financial performance like Gross Profit, Gross Profit Margin (%), EBITDA, EBITDA Margin (%), PAT Margin (%), Return on Equity (%), Return on Capital employed (%), Net Tangible Fixed Asset Turnover and Working Capital Days have been included in this Prospectus. We compute and disclose such non-GAAP financial measures and such other statistical information relating to our operations and financial performance as we consider such information to be useful measures of our business and financial performance.

These Non-GAAP Measures are not a measurement of our financial performance or liquidity under Ind AS and should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to cash flows, profit/ (loss) for the years or any other measure of financial performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities derived in accordance with Ind AS. In addition, these are not standardised terms, hence a direct comparison of these Non-GAAP Measures between companies may not be possible. Other companies may calculate these Non-GAAP Measures differently from us, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. These non-GAAP financial measures and other statistical and other information relating to our operations and financial performance may not be computed on the basis of any standard methodology that is applicable across the industry and therefore may not be comparable to financial measures and statistical information of similar nomenclature that may be computed and presented by other companies and are not measures of operating performance or liquidity defined by Ind AS and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

49. Any downgrade in our credit ratingmay restrict our access to capital and thereby adversely affect our business, financial conditions, cash flows and results of operations.

The cost and availability of capital depends on a company’s credit ratings. Credit ratings reflect the opinion of the rating agency on our management, track record, diversified clientele, increase in scale and operations and margins, medium term revenue visibility and operating cycle.

As on the date of this Prospectus, our banking facilities have been assigned a long term rating of BBB+/Stable and a short term rating of A2 by Crisil Ratings Limited. A downgrade in credit ratings or poor credit rating in the future could lead to an inability to attract customers, increase in borrowing costs, and will give the right to our lenders to review the facilities availed by us under our financing arrangements and adversely affect our access to capital and debt markets, which could in turn adversely affect our interest margins, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

50. Our Company has recently undertaken a bonus issue and a sub-division of the face value of the Equity Shares. There may be historical per-share financial metrics not adjusted for these corporate actions, which will not be comparable with the data presented in this Prospectusand should not be relied upon.

Pursuant to resolutions passed by our Board and our Shareholders in their respective meetings held on September 16, 2025, each, the face value of the equity shares of our Company was sub-divided from ₹10 each to ₹2 each.

Accordingly, issued, subscribed and paid-up equity share capital of our Company comprising 11,456,420 equity shares of ₹10 each were sub-divided into 57,282,100Equity Shares of face value ₹2 each. The authorised share capital of our Company was reclassified to reflect the sub-division of the face value of the equity shares of our Company from equity shares of ₹10 each to Equity Shares of ₹2 each. The authorised share capital was changed from ₹11,497,500 divided into 57,487,500 equity shares of face value of ₹10 each and ₹2 each, respectively.

Further, on June 30, 2025, our Company issued a bonus of 10,883,599 Equity Shares in the ratio of 19:1 to all its Shareholders.

For details, see “Capital Structure –Notes to Capital Structure –Share capital history of our Company –Equity Share Capital of our Company” and “History and Certain Corporate Matters - Amendments to the Memorandum of Association in the last 10 years” on pages 107 and 291, respectively.

There may be historical per-share financial metrics that have not been adjusted for these corporate actions, such metrics will not be comparable with the data presented in this Prospectus and should not be relied upon for any investment decision.

70External Risk Factors

51. Ourinternational operations expose us to complex management, legal, tax and economic risks. Our purchase and supply arrangements may be governed by the laws of foreign jurisdictions and disputes arising from such arrangements may be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of foreign courts.

We have entered, and we may in the future enter, into purchase and supply agreements that are governed by laws outside India. Accordingly, we are subject to risks inherent in operating abroad, such as exposure to foreign currencies and the attendant risks, including exchange rate volatility and translation risk arising from foreign currency transactions being translated into Indian rupees for the purposes of our Restated Consolidated Financial Statements.

We will also be subject to laws of any other country in which we may operate in future, which may differ in various respects from similar Indian laws and may require us to expend additional resources and engage advisors in the relevant jurisdictions to ensure compliance with applicable laws and the regulatory regime at all times. We may not be familiar with the tax regime in the relevant countries, and may not be able to procure expert advice in a timely manner, or at all. We may be exposed to the risk of penalties for non-compliance with legal requirements in our day to day operations. In addition, to the extent our purchase and supply arrangements are governed by laws of territories outside India, disputes arising from such arrangements are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of courts situated in such territories. There can be no assurance that we will be able to contest such disputes effectively, or that such courts will determine disputes in accordance with Indian legal precedents which we may be more familiar with. We may also undertake transactions in countries or with persons that are subject to international sanctions. This may in turn open us to regulatory action. As a consequence, our international operations may expose us to adverse effects on our financial condition and results of operations.

52. We are subject to anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws and regulations. We may face criminalliability and other serious consequences for violations if occur in the future, which can harm our business.

Our operations are subject to anti-corruption laws that generally prohibit us and our employees and intermediaries from bribing, being bribed or making other prohibited payments to government officials or other persons to obtain or retain business or gain some other business advantage. We are, therefore, exposed to the risk that our employees may engage in fraudulent or other illegal activity in violation of these laws. It is not always possible to identify and deter misconduct by our employees and other third parties, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting us from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to be in compliance with such laws or regulations.

Enforcement of anti-corruption laws has increased substantially in recent years, with more frequent voluntary self-disclosures by companies, aggressive investigations and enforcement proceedings by governmental agencies, and assessment of significant finesand penalties against companies and individuals. We cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of future regulatory requirements to which our operations might be subject or the manner in which existing laws might be administered or interpreted. Any alleged or actual violations of these regulations may subject us to government scrutiny, severe criminal or civil sanctions, and could adversely affect our business, reputation, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

While we have not experienced any such instance in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you such an instance will not occur in the future.

53. Changing laws, rules and regulations in India could lead to new compliance requirements that are uncertain.

Our business, financial performance, cash flow and results of operations could be adversely affected by unfavourable changes in or interpretations of existing, or the promulgation of new laws, rules and regulations applicable to us and our business. Our business, cash flows, results of operations and prospects may be adversely impacted, to the extent that we are unable to suitably respond to and comply with any such changes in applicable law and policy. The regulatory and policy environment in which we operate are evolving and are subject to change.

The Government of India may implement new laws or other regulations and policies that could affect our business in general, which could lead to new compliance requirements, including requiring us to obtain approvals and 71licenses from the Government and other regulatory bodies, or impose onerous requirements.

We are subject to laws and government regulations, including in relation to safety, health, environmental protection and labour. These laws and regulations impose controls on air and water discharge, employee exposure to hazardous substances and other aspects of our manufacturing operations. Further, laws and regulations may limit the amount of hazardous and pollutant discharge that our research centre may release into the air and water.

The discharge of materials that are hazardous into the air, soil or water beyond these limits may cause us to be liable to regulatory bodies or third parties. Any of the foregoing could subject us to litigation, which could lower our profits in the event we were found liable and could also adversely affect our reputation. Additionally, the government or the relevant regulatory bodies may require us to shut down our research centre, which in turn could lead to product shortages that delay or prevent us from fulfilling our obligations to customers.

Further, under India’s Defence Acquisition Procedure 2020, our Company’s supplies are categorised as “Indigenously-Designed, Developed and Manufactured” (“IDDM”) and must comply with the IDDM cap, which limits the permissible foreign or non-indigenous content in the final product to a maximum of 50% of the overall contract value. Also, the draft Defence Acquisition Procedure 2026 (“draft DAP 2026”), published on February 10, 2026, proposes to increase the IDDM indigenous-content threshold from 50% to 60%, introduces an Indian design, source-code and IP ownership requirement, and proposes changes to iDEX procurement and bid-security provisions. If implemented, the higher indigenous-content threshold could require the Company to further increase its indigenous content. Once a vendor elects, or is mandated, to bid under this category, it becomes legally bound to demonstrate, at every stipulated milestone, that at least half of the ex-factory cost originates from Indian design, development, production or value-addition, supported by detailed cost sheets, certification from statutory auditors, and audit rights in favour of the Ministry of Defence. Further, our Company is also required to ensure that the control of the Company is with Indian citizens. Failure to adhere to the cap not only exposes the vendor to disqualification, liquidated damages, and forfeiture of performance guarantees under the Defence Procurement Contract but may also trigger blacklisting and debarment under the MoD’s Guidelines on Penalties and Debarment, thereby materially affecting the vendor’s eligibility for future government procurements. We are pursuing certain programmes under IDDM, and thus are subject to the adverse impacts of failure to adhere to its cap and any change in such caps.

Additionally, the Government of India announced the Union Budget for the Fiscal 2027 on February 1, 2026.

Following this, the Finance Bill 2026 (“Finance Bill”) was introduced, proposing certain changes including a reduction in the rate of minimum alternate tax, a shift from the old to the new regime for minimum alternate tax, a reduction in the rates of tax collected at source and taxation of consideration received on buy-back of shares as capital gains. The Finance Bill has received the assent from the President of India on March 30, 2026, and has been enacted as the Finance Act, 2026 (“Finance Act”) with effect from April 1, 2026. We have not fully determined the effects of these recent and proposed laws and regulations on our business. Investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors and to carefully consider the potential tax consequences of owning, investing or trading in the Equity Shares. We cannot predict whether any amendments made pursuant to the Finance Act would have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Further, the Union Cabinet, Government of India has recently approved the Income Tax Act, 2025 which among others, amends the income tax regime and replace the Income Tax Act, 1961 with effect from April 1, 2026. Any such future amendments may affect our ability to claim exemptions that we have historically benefited from, and such exemptions may no longer be available to us. There is no certainty on the impact of the Income Tax Act, 2025, on tax laws or other regulations, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations or on the industry in which we operate.

For instance, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (“DPDP Act”) which has received the assent of the President on August 11, 2023, provides for personal data protection and privacy of individuals, regulates cross border data transfer, and provides for the processing of digital personal data in a manner that recognises both the rights of individuals to protect their personal data and the need to process personal data for lawful purposes and matters incidental thereto. It also provides for the establishment of a Data Protection Board of India for taking remedial actions and imposing penalties for breach of the provisions of the DPDP Act. It imposes restrictions and obligations on data fiduciaries, resulting from dealing with personal data and further, provides for levy of penalties for breach of obligations prescribed under the DPDP Act. The enactment of the DPDP Act introduces stricter data protection norms for companies in India, which may result in additional costs incurred to ensure compliance.

Additionally, the GoI has published the Draft Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025 which aim to provide the operational framework for implementing India’s new general personal data protection regime. The Central Government has notified certain portions of the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025 (the “DPDP Rules”) on November 14, 2025, with phased implementation over the period of 18 months. While we strive to ensure compliance with the DPDP Rules in accordance with timelines prescribed thereunder, given that the DPDP Rules 72introduce substantive compliance requirements and are newly implemented provisions, there can be no assurance that we will be able to fully comply with all applicable requirements in the future. The maximum penalty prescribed for breach in obligation to take reasonable security safeguards to prevent personal data breach under the DPDP Act is ₹2,500.00 million.

The Government introduced (a) the Code on Wages, 2019 (“Wages Code”); (b) the Code on Social Security, 2020 (“Social Security Code”); (c) the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020; and

(d) the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, which consolidate, subsume and replace numerous existing central labor legislations. The draft rules for implementation under such codes were notified on December 30, 2025, and have come into effect between May 8, 2026 and May 9, 2026.

The Parliament of India has passed the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, which have repealed the Indian Penal Code, 1860, the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, respectively, with effect from July 1, 2024. The effect of the provisions of these on us and the litigations involving us cannot be predicted with certainty at this stage.

Unfavorable changes in or interpretations of existing, or the promulgation of new, laws, rules and regulations including foreign investment and stamp duty laws governing our business and operations could result in us being deemed to be in contravention of such laws and may require us to apply for additional approvals. Uncertainty in the applicability, interpretation, or implementation of any amendment to, or change in, governing law, regulation or policy, including by reason of an absence, or a limited body, of administrative or judicial precedent may be time consuming as well as costly for us to resolve and may affect the viability of our current businesses or restrict our ability to grow our businesses in the future.

We cannot predict whether any tax laws or other regulations affecting it will be enacted or predict the nature and effects of any such laws or regulations or whether, if at all, any laws or regulations would have an adverse effect on our business, prospects and results of operations.

54. Any failure to comply with sanctions administered by the United States or other governments could adverselyaffect our business and reputation.

U.S. law generally prohibits U.S. persons from directly or indirectly investing or otherwise doing business in or with certain countries that are the subject of comprehensive sanctions and with certain persons or businesses that have been specially designated by the OFAC or other U.S. government agencies. Other governments and international or regional organizations also administer similar economic sanctions. Although we endeavour to conduct our activities in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, we cannot assure you that persons and/or entities with whom we may engage in future transactions will not become the subject of sanctions-related prohibitions or restrictions, or that sanctions will not be imposed on the persons with whom we currently engage or countries in which we currently conduct business. The imposition of such sanctions on countries or persons with whom we transact may adversely affect our business and results of operations. Our failure to successfully comply with applicable sanctions may expose us to adverse legal and business consequences, including civil or criminal penalties, government investigations, and reputational harm.

55. Changes in trade policies may affect us.

Any change in policies by India or by the other countries, in terms of tariff and non-tariff barriers, from which our suppliers import their raw materials, components and/or countries to which we export our products, may increase our operating costs, reduce our margins and make it more difficult for us to compete in the Indian and overseas markets, and our business, financial condition and results of operation could be severally impacted. For instance, US has recently introduced high tariffs on all Indian goods, which will have an adverse impact on our opportunities in the US.

56. Naturalorman-made disasters, fires, epidemics, pandemics, acts of war, terrorist attacks, civil unrest and other events could materially and adversely affect our business.

Natural disasters (such as typhoons, flooding and earthquakes), epidemics, pandemicsand man-made disasters, including acts of war, terrorist attacks and other events such as political instability, including strikes, demonstrations, protests, marches or other types of civil disorder, many of which are beyond our control, may lead to economic instability, including in India or globally, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flowsand results of operations. Our operations may be adversely affected by 73fires, natural disasters and/or severe weather, which can result in damage to our property or inventory and generally reduce our productivity and may require us to evacuate personnel and suspend operations.

A number of countries in Asia, including India, as well as countries in other parts of the world, are susceptible to contagious diseases and, for example, have had confirmed cases of diseases such as the highly pathogenic H7N9, H5N1 and H1N1 strains of influenza in birds and swine and the COVID-19. As a result, any future outbreak of a contagious disease could have anadverse effect on our business and the trading price of the Equity Shares.

57. A downgradein sovereign credit and debt ratings of Indiaand other jurisdictions we operate inmay affect thetrading price of the EquityShares.

Our borrowing costs and our access to the debt capital markets depend significantly on the sovereign credit ratings of India. Any further adverse revisions to credit ratings for India and other jurisdictions we operate in by domestic or international rating agencies may adversely impact our ability to raise additional financing. This could have an adverse effect on our ability to fund our growth on favourable terms and consequently adversely affect our business and financial performance and the price of the Equity Shares.

58. We may beaffected by competition laws in India, the adverse application or interpretation of which couldadverselyaffect our business.

The Competition Act, 2002, of India, as amended (“Competition Act”), was enacted for the purpose of preventing practices that have or are likely to have an adverse effect on competition in India and has mandated the Competition Commission of India (“CCI”) to prevent such practices. Under the Competition Act, any formal or informal arrangement, understanding or action in concert, which causes or is likely to cause an appreciable adverse effect on competition (“AAEC”) is considered void and may result in the imposition of substantial penalties.

Further, any agreement among competitors which directly or indirectly involves the determination of purchase or sale prices, limits or controls production, supply, markets, technical development, investment or the provision of services or shares the market or source of production or provision of services in any manner, including by way of allocation of geographical area or number of consumers in the relevant market or directly or indirectly results in bid-rigging or collusive bidding is presumed to have an AAEC and is considered void. The Competition Act also prohibits abuse of a dominant position by any enterprise. If it is proved that the contravention committed by a company took place with the consent or connivance or is attributable to any neglect on the part of, any director, manager, secretary or other officer of such company, that person shall be also guilty ofthe contravention and may be punished.

Further, the CCI has extra-territorial powers and can investigate any agreements, abusive conduct or combination occurring outside India if such agreement, conduct or combination has an AAEC in India. However, the impact of the provisions of the Competition Act on the agreements entered into by us cannot be predicted with certainty at this stage. In the event we pursue an acquisition in the future, we may be affected, directly or indirectly, by the application or interpretation of any provision of the Competition Act, or any enforcement proceedings initiated by the CCI, or any adverse publicity that may be generated due to scrutiny or prosecution by the CCI or if any prohibition or substantial penalties are levied under the Competition Act, it would adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and prospects. The manner in which the Competition Act and the CCI affect the business environment in India may also adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

The Competition (Amendment) Act, 2023 (“Competition Amendment Act”) was notified on April 11, 2023, which amends the Competition Act and give the CCI additional powers to prevent practices that harm competition and the interests of consumers. The Competition Amendment Act, inter alia, modifies the scope of certain factors used to determine AAEC, reduces the overall time limit for the assessment of combinations by the CCI from 210 days to 150 days and empowers the CCI to impose penalties based on the global turnover of entities, for anti- competitive agreements and abuse of dominant position. We have not experienced any instances wherein we were subject to any penalty or received any notice from the CCI in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals, however, we cannot assure you such instances will not arise in the future.

59. Financialand political instability in other countries may cause increased volatility in Indian financial markets.

The Indian market and the Indian economy are influenced by economic and market conditions in other countries, including conditions in the United States of America, Europe and certain emerging economies in Asia. In particular, the ongoing military conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, India and Pakistan and in West Asia, Israel- 74Gaza conflict, US-Iran-Israel conflict and Middle East conflicts, as well as other events, many of which are beyond our control,could result in increased volatility in, or damage to, the worldwide financial markets and economy.

Increased economic volatility and trade restrictions could result in increased volatility in the markets for certain securities and commodities and may cause inflation. Any worldwide financial instability including possibility of default in the US debt market may cause increased volatility in the Indian financial markets and, directly or indirectly, adversely affect the Indian economy and financial sector and us. Although economic conditions are different in each country, investors’ reactions to developments in one country can have adverse effects on the securities of companies in other countries, including India. A loss of investor confidence in the financial systems of other emerging markets may cause increased volatility in Indian financial markets and, indirectly, in the Indian economy in general. Concerns related to a trade war between large economies may lead to increased risk aversion and volatility in global capital markets and consequently have an impact on the Indian economy.

In addition, China is one of India’s major trading partners and there are rising concerns of a possible slowdown in the Chinese economy as well as a strained relationship with India, which could have an adverse impact on the trade relations between the twocountries. In response to such developments, legislators and financial regulators in the United States and other jurisdictions, including India, implemented a number of policy measures designed to add stability to the financial markets. However, the overall long-term effect of these and other legislative and regulatory efforts on the global financial markets is uncertain, and they may not have the intended stabilising effects.

These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, have had and may continue to have an adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and may significantly reduce global market liquidity, restrict the ability of key market participants to operate in certain financial markets or restrict our access to capital. This could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and reduce the price of the Equity Shares.

60. TheIndiantax regime has undergone substantial changes which could adversely affect our business and the tradingprice of the Equity Shares.

Any change in Indian tax laws could have an effect on our operations. The Government of India has implemented two major reforms in Indian tax laws, namely the Goods and Services Tax (“GST”), and provisions relating to general anti-avoidance rules (“GAAR”). The indirect tax regime in India has undergone a complete overhaul. The indirect taxes on goods and services, such as central excise duty, service tax, central sales tax, state value added tax, surcharge and excise have been replaced by GST with effectfrom July 1, 2017. The GST regime continues to be subject to amendments and its interpretation by the relevant regulatory authorities is constantly evolving.

GAAR became effective from April 1, 2017. The tax consequences of the GAAR provisions being applied to an arrangement may result in, among others, a denial of tax benefit to us and our business. In the absence of any substantial precedents on the subject, the application of these provisions is subjective. If the GAAR provisions are made applicable to us, it may have an adverse tax impact on us. Further, if the tax costs associated with certain of our transactions are greater than anticipated because of a particular tax risk materializing on account of new tax regulations and policies, it could affect our profitability from such transactions.

Additionally, the Government of India announced the Union Budget for the Fiscal 2027 on February 1, 2026.

Following this, the Finance Bill 2026 (“Finance Bill”) was introduced, proposing certain changes including a reduction in the rate of minimum alternate tax, a shift from the old to the new regime for minimum alternate tax, a reduction in the rates of tax collected at source and taxation of consideration received on buy-back of shares as capital gains. The Finance Bill has received the assent from the President of India on March 30, 2026, and has been enacted as the Finance Act, 2026 (“Finance Act”) with effect from April 1, 2026. We have not fully determined the effects of these recent and proposed laws and regulations on our business. Investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors and to carefully consider the potential tax consequences of owning, investing or trading in the Equity Shares. We cannot predict whether any amendments made pursuant to the Finance Act would have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Further, the Union Cabinet, Government of India has recently approved the Income Tax Act, 2025 which among others, amends the income tax regime and replace the Income Tax Act, 1961 with effect from April 1, 2026. Any such future amendments may affect our ability to claim exemptions that we have historically benefited from, and such exemptions may no longer be available to us. There is no certainty on the impact of the Income Tax Act, 2025, on tax laws or other regulations, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations or on the industry in which we operate.

Unfavourable changes in or interpretations of existing laws, rules and regulations, or the promulgation of new laws, rules and regulations including foreign investment and stamp duty laws governing our business and 75operations could result in us being deemed to be in contravention of such laws and may require us to apply for additional approvals.

Uncertainty in the applicability, interpretation or implementation of any amendment to, or change in, governing law, regulation or policy, including by reason of an absence, or a limited body, of administrative or judicial precedent may be time consuming as well as costly for us to resolve and may affect the viability of our current business or restrict our ability to grow our business in the future.

We cannot predict whether any new tax laws or regulations impacting our services will be enacted, what the nature and impact of the specific terms of any such laws or regulations will be or whether if at all, any laws or regulations would have an adverse effect on our business. Further, any adverse order passed by the appellate authorities/ tribunals/ courts would have an effect on our profitability. In addition, we are subject to tax related inquiries and claims.

61. If inflation were to rise in India, we might not be able to increase the prices of our products at a proportionalrate in order to pass costs on to our customers thereby reducing our margins.

Inflation rates in India have been volatile in recent years, and such volatility may continue in the future. India has experienced high inflation in the recent past. Increased inflation can contribute to an increase in interest rates and increased costs toour business, including increased costs of wages and other expenses.

High fluctuations in inflation rates may make it more difficult for us to accurately estimate or control our costs.

Any increase in inflation in India can increase our expenses, which we may not be able to adequately pass on to our customers, whether entirely or in part, and may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. In particular, we might not be able to reduce our costs or increase the price of our products to pass the increase in costs on to our customers. In such case, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition may be adversely affected.

Further, the Government of India has previously initiated economic measures to combat high inflation rates, and it is unclear whether these measures will remain in effect. There can be no assurance that Indian inflation levels will not worsen in the future.

62. Significant differencesexist between Ind AS and other accounting principles, such as U.S. GAAPand IFRS, which investors may be more familiar with and may consider material to their assessment of our financial condition.

Our Restated Consolidated Financial Statements, derived from our audited financial statements which are prepared in accordance with Ind AS for financial statements as at and for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and as at and for the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024, included in this Prospectus are restated in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act, 2013, the SEBI ICDR Regulations and the Guidance Note on “Reports in Company Prospectus (Revised 2019)” issued by the ICAI. We have not attempted to quantify the effects of U.S. GAAP or IFRS on the financial data included in this Prospectus, nor do we provide a reconciliation of our Restated Consolidated Financial Statementsto those of U.S. GAAP or IFRS. Accordingly, the degree to which the Ind AS and Indian GAAP financial statements, which are restated as per the SEBI ICDR Regulations included in this Prospectus, will provide meaningful information is entirely dependent on the reader’s level of familiarity with Indian accounting practices. Any reliance by persons not familiar with Indian accounting practices on the financial disclosures presented in this Prospectus should be limited accordingly.Ind AS differs in certain significant respects from IFRS, U.S. GAAP and other accounting principles with which prospective investors may be familiar in other countries. If our financial statements were to be prepared in accordance with such other accounting principles, our results of operations, cash flows and financial position may be substantially different. Prospective investors should review the accounting policies applied in the preparation of our financial statements, and consult their own professional advisers for an understanding of the differences between these accounting principles and those with which they may be more familiar. Any reliance by persons not familiar with Indian accounting practices on the financial disclosures presented in thisProspectusshould be limited accordingly.

63. Pursuantto the listing of the Equity Shares, we may be subject to pre-emptive surveillance measures like Additional Surveillance Measure (ASM) and Graded Surveillance Measures (GSM) by Stock Exchangesin order to enhance market integrity and safeguard the interest of investors.

SEBI and the Stock Exchanges, in the past, have introduced various pre-emptive surveillance measures with respect to the shares of listed companies in India (the “Listed Securities”) in order to enhance market integrity, 76safeguard the interests of investors and potential market abuses. In addition to various surveillance measures already implemented, and in order to further safeguard the interest of investors, the SEBI and the Stock Exchanges have introduced additional surveillance measures (“ASM”) and graded surveillance measures (“GSM”). ASM is conducted by the Stock Exchanges on Listed Securities with surveillance concerns based on certain objective parameters such as price-to-earnings ratio, percentage of delivery, variation in volume of shares and volatility of shares, among other things. GSM is conducted by the Stock Exchanges on Listed Securities where their price quoted on the Stock Exchanges is not commensurate with, among other things, the financial performance and financial condition measures such as earnings, book value, fixedassets, net worth, other measures such as price- to-earnings multiple and market capitalization.

Upon listing, the trading of our Equity Shares would be subject to differing market conditions as well as other factors which may result in high volatility in price, and low trading volumes as a percentage of combined trading volume of our Equity Shares. The occurrence of any of the abovementioned factors or other circumstances may trigger any of the parameters prescribed by SEBI and the Stock Exchanges for placing our securities under the GSM and/or ASM framework or any other surveillance measures, which could result in significant restrictions on trading of our Equity Shares being imposed by SEBI and the Stock Exchanges. These restrictions may include requiring higher margin requirements, limiting trading frequency or freezing of price on the upper side oftrading, as well as mentioning of our Equity Shares on the surveillance dashboards of the Stock Exchanges. The imposition of these restrictions and curbs on trading may have an adverse effect on the market price, trading and liquidity of our Equity Sharesand on the reputation and conditions of our Company. Any such instance may result in a loss of our reputation and diversion of our management’s attention and may also decrease the market price of our Equity Shares which could cause you to lose some or allof your investment.

64. Our Company may not be able to pay dividends in the future.Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend upon our future earnings, financial condition, profit after tax available for distribution, cash flows, working capital requirements and capital expenditure and the terms of our financing arrangements.

Any dividends to be declared and paid in the future are required to be recommended by our Company’s Board of Directors and approved by its Shareholders, at their discretion, subject to the provisions of the Articles of Association and applicable law, including the Companies Act. Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of the Board and will depend on a number of factors, including but not limited to, internal factors such as earning stability, past dividend trends, cashflow, organic growth and expansion, profitability of our Company during the period under consideration and external factors, including but not limited to the macro-economic environment, market conditions, regulatory changes and technological changes or statutory and contractual restrictions. our Company operates. Additionally, we may retain all our future earnings, if any, for any proposed or ongoing or planned business expansion or for any other purposes which may be considered by the Board subject to compliance with the provisions of the Companies Act.

We cannot assure you that we will generate sufficient revenues to cover our operating expenses and, as such, pay dividends to our Company’s shareholders in future consistent with our past practices, or at all. We have not declared any dividends on the Equity Shares in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals, until the date of this Prospectus. For information pertaining to dividend policy, see “Dividend Policy” on page

321.

65. The Equity Shares have never been publicly traded and the Offer may not result in an active or liquid marketfor theEquity Shares. Further, the price of the Equity Shares may be volatile, and the investors may be unable to resell the Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price, or at all.

Prior to the Offer, there has been no public market for the Equity Shares, and an active trading market on the stock exchanges may not develop or be sustained after the Offer. Listing and quotation does not guarantee that a market for the Equity Shares will develop, or if developed, the liquidity of such market for the Equity Shares. Our Equity Shares are expected to trade on NSE and BSE after the Offer, but there can be no assurance that active trading in our Equity Shares will develop after the Offer, or if such trading develops that it will continue. The market price of the Equity Shares may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other factors, variations in our operating results, market conditions specific to the defence industry weoperate in, developments relating to India, announcements by third parties or governmental entities of significant claims or proceedings against us, volatility in the securities markets in India and other jurisdictions, variations in the growth rate of financial indicators, variations in revenue or earnings estimates by research publications, and changes in economic, legal and other regulatory factors. As a result, we cannot assure you that an active market will develop or sustained trading will take place in the Equity Shares or provide any assurance regarding the price at which the Equity 77Shares will be traded after listing. Further, the market price of the Equity Shares may decline below the Offer Price. We cannot assure you that you will be able to sell your Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price.

Investors may not be able to sell our Equity Shares at the quoted price if there is no active trading in our Equity Shares. There has been significant volatility in the Indian stock markets in the recent past, and the trading price of our Equity Shares after the Offer could fluctuate significantly as a result of market volatility or due to various internal or external risks, including but not limited to those described in this Prospectus. The market price of our Equity Shares may be influenced by many factors, some of which are beyond our control, including, among others:

 the failure of analysts to cover the Equity Shares after the Offer, or changes in the estimates of our performance by analysts;  the activities of competitors and suppliers;  future sales of the Equity Shares by us or our Shareholders;

 investor perception of us and the industry in which we operate;  changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations of principles;  our quarterly or annual earnings or those of our competitors;

 developments affecting fiscal, industrial or environmental regulations; and  the public’s reaction to our press releases and adverse media reports.

A decrease in the market price of our Equity Shares could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

66. Investorsmaybe subject to Indian taxes arising out of income arising on the sale and dividend on the EquityShares.

Under current Indian tax laws and regulations, unless specifically exempted, capital gains arising from the sale of equity shares in an Indian company are generally taxable in India. Any capital gain exceeding ₹125,000, realized on the sale of listed equity shares on a recognized stock exchange, held for more than 12 months immediately preceding the date of transfer, will be subject to long term capital gains in India, at the rate of 12.5% (plus applicable surcharge and cess). This beneficial rate is, interalia, subject to payment of Securities Transaction Tax (“STT”). Further, any gain realized on the sale of equity shares in an Indian company held for more than 12 months, which are sold using any platform other than a recognized stock exchange and on which no STT has been paid, will be subject to long term capital gains tax in India at 12.5%. Further, any capital gains realized on the sale of listed equity shares held for a period of 12 months or less immediately preceding the date of transfer will be subject to short term capital gains tax in India. Such gains willbe subject to tax at the rate of 20% (plus applicable surcharge and cess), subject to STT being paid at the time of sale of such shares. Otherwise, such gains will be taxed at the applicable rates. Capital gains arising from the sale of the Equity Shares will be exempt from taxation in India in cases where the exemption from taxation in India is provided under a treaty between India and the country of which the seller is resident. Generally, Indian tax treaties do not limit India’s ability to impose tax on capital gains. As a result, residents of other countries may be liable for tax in India as well as in their own jurisdiction on a gain upon the sale of the Equity Shares. Similarly, any business income realized from the transfer of Equity Shares held as trading assets is taxable at the applicable tax rates subject to any treaty relief, if applicable, to a non-resident seller.

67. The determinationof the Price Band is based on various factors and assumptions and the Offer Price, price to earnings ratio and market capitalization to revenue multiple based on the Offer Price of our Company, may not be indicative of the market price of the Company on listing subsequent to the Offer or thereafter.

Our revenue from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was ₹ 360.08 million. Further, restated profit for the year for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was ₹ (177.37) million. The table below sets forth details of our price to earnings ratio and market capitalization to revenue from operations at the upper end of the

Price Band:

78Particulars Price to Earnings Ratio Market Capitalization to Revenue For Fiscal 2026 78.83 11.06 The determination of the Price Band is based on various factors and assumptions, and was determined by our Company in consultation with the BRLMs. The relevant financial parameters based on which the Price Band was determined weredisclosed in the advertisement that wasissued for the publication of the Price Band. Further, the Offer Price of the Equity Shares was determined on the basis of assessment of market demand for the Equity Shares offered through the book-building process prescribed under the SEBI ICDR Regulations, and certain quantitative and qualitative factors as set out in the section “Basis for Offer Price” on page 138 and the Offer Price, multiples and ratios may not be indicative of the market price of the Company on listing or thereafter.

68. Investorswillnot be able to sell immediately on an Indian stock exchange any of the Equity Shares they purchasein the Offer.

The Equity Shares will be listed on the Stock Exchanges. Pursuant to applicable Indian laws, certain actions must be completed before the Equity Shares can be listed and trading in the Equity Shares may commence. Investors’ book entry, or ‘demat’ accounts with depository participants in India, are expected to be credited within one working day of the date on which the Basis of Allotment is approved by the Stock Exchanges. The transfer of Equity Shares in this Offer and the credit of such Equity Shares to the applicant’s demat account with depository participant could take approximately two Working Days from the Bid Closing Date and trading in the Equity Shares upon receipt of final listing and trading approvals from the Stock Exchanges is expected to commence within three Working Days of the Bid Closing Date. There could be a failure or delay in listing of the Equity Shares on the Stock Exchanges. Any failure or delay in obtaining the approval or otherwise commence trading in the Equity Shares would restrict investors’ ability to dispose of their Equity Shares. There can be no assurance that the Equity Shares will be credited to investors’ demat accounts, or that trading in the Equity Shares will commence, within the time periods specified in this risk factor.We could also be required to pay interest at the applicable rates if allotment is not made, refund orders are not dispatched or demat credits are not made to investors within the prescribed time periods.

69. Any future issuance of Equity Shares, or convertible securities or other equity linked instruments by us may diluteyour shareholdingand sales of Equity Shares by our major shareholders may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.

We may be required to finance our growth through future equity offerings. Any future equity issuances by us, including a primary offeringof Equity Shares, convertible securities or securities linked to Equity Shares including through exercise of employee stock options, may lead to the dilution of investors’ shareholdings in our Company.

Any future equity issuances by us or sales of our Equity Shares by our shareholders may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares, which may lead to other adverse consequences including difficulty in raising capital through offering of our Equity Shares or incurring additional debt. Any disposal of Equity Shares by our Promoters or major shareholders or the perception that such issuance or sales may occur, including to comply with the minimum public shareholding norms applicable to listed companies in India, as applicable, may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares, which may lead to other adverse consequences including difficulty in raising capital through offering of the Equity Shares or incurring additional debt. There can be no assurance that we will not issue Equity Shares, convertible securities or securities linked to Equity Shares or that our Shareholders will not dispose of, pledge or encumber their Equity Shares in the future. Any future issuances could also dilute the value of your investment in the Equity Shares. In addition, any perception by investors that such issuances or sales might occur may also affect the market price of our Equity Shares.

70. Any restrictions under the Consolidated FDI Policy or delay in receiving approvalswould adversely affect our business, operations and financial conditions.

Under the Consolidated FDI Policy, infusion of fresh foreign investment up to 49%, in a company engaged in the defence sector (as prescribed) not seeking industrial license or which already has government approval for FDI,

will need to submit a declaration with the Ministry of Defence in cases of: (a) change in equity/shareholding pattern; or (b) transfer of stake by existing investor to new foreign investor, within a period of 30 days of such change. Any proposal for raising FDI beyond 49% from such companies can be made through the government approval route. In terms of the SEBI FPI Regulations, the investment in Equity Shares by a single FPI or an investor group (which means multiple entities registered as FPIs and directly or indirectly having common ownership of more than 50% or common control) must be below 10% of our post-Offer Equity Share capital.

Further, in terms of the FEMA Non-Debt Instrument Rules, the total holding by each FPI or an investor group shall be below 10% of the total paid-up Equity Share capital of our Company and the total holdings of all FPIs put together with effect from April 1, 2020, can be up to the sectoral cap applicable to the sector in which our 79Company operates. Any delay or denial of approval to increase the sectoral cap in the future would create an adverse impact on our business, operations and financial conditions. Further, these approvals granted to us may be revoked at any point of time dueto circumstances which may or may not be within our control and this could have an adverse impact on our business and operations. Moreover, any further restrictions of the Consolidated FDI policy impacting our industry would also restrict our foreign investment opportunities thereby creating an adverse impact on our business, operations and financial conditions.

71. Under Indian law, foreign investors are subject to investment restrictions that limit our ability to attract foreigninvestors, which may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.

Under foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, the transfer of shares between non–residents and residents are freely permitted (subject to compliance with sectoral norms and certain other restrictions), if they comply with the pricing guidelines and reporting requirements specified by the RBI. If the transfer of shares, which are sought to be transferred, is not in compliance with such pricing guidelines or reporting requirements or falls under any of the exceptions referred to above, then a prior regulatory approval will be required. Further, unless specifically restricted, foreign investment is freely permitted in all sectors of the Indian economy up to any extent and without any prior approvals, but the foreign investor is required to follow certain prescribed procedures for making such investment. The RBI and the concerned ministries/departments are responsible for granting approval for foreign investment. However, certain sectors of the Indian economy are subject to FDI restrictions or require prior government approval. In the event we invest or propose to invest in such restricted sectors, we may be required to obtain approvals from relevant government authorities, including the RBI and concerned ministries. There can be no assurance that such approvals will be granted on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

Additionally, shareholders who seek to convert Rupee proceeds from a sale of shares in India into foreign currency and repatriate that foreign currency from India require a no–objectionor a tax clearance certificate from the Indian income tax authorities. We cannot assure you that any necessary approvals from the RBI or any other governmental agency can be obtained on any particular terms, or at all.

In addition, pursuant to the Consolidated FDI Policy read with the Press Note No. 2 (2026 Series), dated March 15, 2026, issued by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, Government of India, a person resident outside India may make investments in India, subject to certain terms and conditions, and further provides that an entity of a country, which shares land border with India or where the beneficial owner of an investment into India is situated in or is a citizen of any such country, can invest only under the GoI approval route, as prescribed in the Consolidated FDI Policy and FEMA Rules.Further, in the event of transfer of ownership of any existing or future foreign direct investment in an entity in India, directly or indirectly, resulting in the beneficial ownership falling within the aforesaid restriction and/or purview, such subsequent change in the beneficial ownership will also require approval of the GoI. Furthermore, on April 22, 2020, the Ministry of Finance, GoI has also made similar amendments to the FEMA (Non-debt Instruments) Rules, 2019. Further, in accordance with the amendment to the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014 vide notification dated May 4, 2022 issued by Ministry of Corporate Affairs, a declaration shall be inserted in the share transfer form stipulating whether government approval shall be required to be obtained under Foreign Exchange Management (Non-debt Instruments) Rules, 2019 prior to transfer of shares, as applicable.For further information, see “Restrictions on Foreign Ownership of Indian Securities” beginning on page 505.

72. Qualified Institutional Buyers and Non-Institutional Bidders werenot permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of EquityShares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after the submission of their Bid, and Retail Individual Bidders and Eligible Employees Bidding in the Employee Reservation Portion werenot permitted to withdraw their Bids after closure of the Bid/ Offer Closing Date.

Pursuant to the SEBI ICDR Regulations, QIBs and Non-Institutional Bidders wererequired to pay the Bid Amount on submission of the Bid and werenot permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid. Retail Individual Bidders and Eligible Employees bidding in the Employee Reservation Portion couldrevise their Bids during the Bid/ Offer Period and withdraw their Bids until the Bid/ Offer Closing Date. While we are required to complete all necessary formalities for listing and commencement of trading of the Equity Shares on all Stock Exchanges wheresuch Equity Shares are proposed to be listed, including Allotment, within three Working Days from the Bid/ Offer Closing Date or such other period as may be prescribed by the SEBI, events affecting the investors’ decision to invest in the Equity Shares, including adverse changes in international or national monetary policy, financial, political or economic conditions, our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition may arise between the date of submission of the Bid and Allotment. Wemay complete the Allotment of the Equity Shares even if such events occur, and such 80events may limit the Investors’ ability to sell the Equity Shares Allotted pursuant to the Offer or cause the trading price of the Equity Shares to decline on listing.

73. Investorsmaybe restrictedin their ability to exercise pre-emptive rights under Indian law and thereby may sufferfuturedilution of their ownership position.

Under the Companies Act, a company having share capital and incorporated in India must offer its holders of equity shares pre-emptive rights to subscribe and pay for a proportionate number of shares to maintain their existing ownership percentages before the issuance of any new equity shares, unless the pre-emptive rights have been waived by adoption of a special resolution by holders of three-fourths of the equity shares voting on such resolution. However, if the law of the jurisdiction the investors are in, does not permit them to exercise their pre- emptive rights without our Company filing an offer document or registration statement with the applicable authority in such jurisdiction, the investors will be unable to exercise their pre-emptive rights unlessour Company makes such a filing. If we elect not to file a registration statement, the new securities may be issued to a custodian, who may sell the securities for the investor’s benefit. The value such custodian receives on the sale of such securities and the related transaction costs cannot be predicted. In addition, to the extent that the investors are unable to exercise pre-emptive rights granted in respect of the Equity Shares held by them, their proportional interest in our Company would be reduced and they may suffer future dilution of their ownership.

74. Our abilityto raise foreign capital may be constrained by Indian law.

As an Indian company, we are subject to exchange controls that regulate borrowing in foreign currencies. Such regulatory restrictions limit our financing sources and could constrain our ability to obtain financing on competitive terms and refinance existing indebtedness. In addition, we cannot assure you that any required regulatory approvals for borrowing in foreign currencies will be granted to us without onerous conditions, or at all. Limitations on foreign debt may have an adverse effect on our businessgrowth, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

75. Rights of shareholders of companies under Indian law may be more limited than under the laws of otherjurisdictions.

Our Articles of Association, composition of our Board, Indian laws governing our corporate affairs, the validity of corporate procedures, directors’ fiduciary duties, responsibilities and liabilities, and shareholders’ rights may differ from those that would apply to a company in another jurisdiction. Shareholders’ rights under Indian law may not be as extensive and wide-spread as shareholders’ rights under the laws of other countries or jurisdictions.

Investors may face challenges in asserting their rightsas shareholder of our Company than as a shareholder of an entity in another jurisdiction.

76. Compliance with provisions of Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act may affect payments on the Equity Shares.

The U.S. “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act” (or “FATCA”) imposes a new reporting regime and potentially, imposes a 30% withholding tax on certain “foreign passthru payments” made by certain non-U.S. financial institutions (including intermediaries).

If payments on the Equity Shares are made by such non-U.S. financial institutions (including intermediaries), this withholding may be imposed on such payments if made to any non-U.S. financial institution (including an intermediary) that is not otherwise exempt from FATCA or other holders who do not provide sufficient identifying information to the payer, to the extent such payments are considered “foreign passthru payments”. Under current guidance, the term “foreign passthru payment” is not defined and it is therefore not clear whether and to what extent payments on the Equity Shares would be considered “foreign passthru payments”. The United States has entered into intergovernmental agreements with many jurisdictions (including India) that modify the FATCA withholding regime described above. It is not yet clear how the intergovernmental agreements between the United States and these jurisdictions will address “foreign passthru payments” and whether such agreements will require us or other financial institutions to withhold or report on payments on the Equity Shares to the extent they are treated as “foreign passthru payments”. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the consequences of FATCA, or any intergovernmental agreement or non-U.S. legislation implementing FATCA, to their investment in Equity Shares.

77. The requirementsof being a publicly listed company may strain our resources.

81We are not a publicly listed company and have not, historically, been subjected to the increased scrutiny of our affairs by shareholders, regulators and the public at large that is associated with being a listed company. As a listed company, we will incur significant legal, accounting, corporate governance and other expenses that we did not incur as an unlisted company. We will be subject to the SEBI Listing Regulations, which will, among other things, require us to file audited annual and unaudited quarterly reports with respect to our business and financial condition. If we experience any delays, we may fail to satisfy our reporting obligations and/or we may not be able to readily determine and accordingly report any changes in our results of operations aspromptly as other listed companies. Further, as a publicly listed company, we will need to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, including keeping adequate records of daily transactions. In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, significant resources and management attention will be required. As a result, our management’s attention may be diverted from our business concerns, which may adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we may need to hire additional legal and accounting staff with appropriate experience andtechnical accounting knowledge, but we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so in a timely and efficient manner.

78. There is no guarantee that our Equity Shares will be listed on the stock exchanges in a timely manner or at all.

In accordance with Indian law and practice, permission for listing and trading of our Equity Shares will not be granted until after certain actions have been completed in relation to this Offer and until Allotment of Equity Shares pursuant to this Offer. In accordance with current regulations and circulars issued by SEBI, our Equity Shares are required to be listed on the BSE and NSE within such time as mandated under law, subject to any change in the prescribed timeline in this regard. However, we cannot assure you that the trading in our Equity Shares will commence in a timely manner or at all. Any failure or delay in obtaining final listing and trading approvals may restrict your ability to dispose of your Equity Shares.

79. A third party could be prevented from acquiring control of our Company because of anti-takeover provisions under Indian law.

There are provisions in Indian law that may delay, deter or prevent a future takeover or change in control of our Company, even if a change in control would result in the purchase of your Equity Shares at a premium to the market price or would otherwise bebeneficial to you. Such provisions may discourage or prevent certain types of transactions involving actual or threatened change in control of our Company. Under the Takeover Regulations in India, an acquirer has been defined as any person who, directly or indirectly, acquires or agrees to acquire shares or voting rights or control over a company, whether individually or acting in concert with others. Although these provisions have been formulated to ensure that interests of investors/shareholders are protected, these provisions may also discourage a third party from attempting to take control of our Company. Consequently, even if a potential takeover of our Company would result in the purchase of the Equity Shares at a premium to their market price or would otherwise be beneficial to its stakeholders, it is possible that such a takeover would not be attempted or consummated because of the Takeover Regulations.

80. Investors may have difficulty enforcing foreign judgments against us or our management.

Most of our Directors and executive officers are residents of India, and a substantial portion of our assets are located in India. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process or enforce judgments obtained outside India against us or such persons.

Recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments is provided for under Sections 13, 14 and 44A of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, as amended (the “Civil Procedure Code”). While India is not a party to the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments in Civil and Criminal matters, India has reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters with a limited number of jurisdictions, such as the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, and Hong Kong. To be enforceable, a judgment from a jurisdiction with reciprocity must meet certain requirements established in the Civil Procedure Code. India recognizes and enforces foreign judgments only from jurisdictions that are notified as reciprocating territories under the Civil Procedure Code, 1908, which does not currently include the United States. Judgments from non-reciprocating territories require the filing of a new suit in India, and their enforcement is subject to several procedural and substantive conditions under Indian law.

Even if such a suit is successful, Indian courts may not award damages equivalent to those granted by foreign courts, particularly if considered excessive or contrary to Indian public policy. Enforcement may also require prior 82approval from the RBI to repatriate amounts recovered and could be subject to Indian taxation. Additionally, there may be delays or uncertainties in obtaining enforceable relief in Indian courts, making the recovery of any amounts under a foreign judgment uncertain and time-consuming.

Consequently, it may not be possible to enforce in an Indian court any judgment obtained in a foreign court, or effect service of process outside of India, against Indian companies, entities, their directors and executive officers and any other parties resident in India. Additionally, there is no assurance that a suit brought in an Indian court in relation to a foreign judgment will be disposed of in a timely manner.

81. A slowdownin economic growth in India and in other countries and jurisdictions, such as the United States and Europe could cause our business to suffer.

The Indian financial markets and economy are influenced by market and economic conditions in other countries, including conditions in the United States, Europe, and certain emerging economies in Asia. Any worldwide financial instability may cause increased volatility in the Indian financial markets and, directly or indirectly, adversely affect the Indian economy and us. Furthermore, concerns relating to trade wars between large economies such as the United States of America and China may lead to increased risk aversion and volatility in global capital markets and consequently have an impact on the Indian economy. For instance, the recent surge in US and retaliatory tariffs in 2025, for example, has already led to slower global trade growth, delayed investment decisions, and increased uncertainty for businesses worldwide. Prolonged or escalating trade wars can significantly dampen global economic activity.

17.43% of the subscribed and paid-up share capital of our Company on a fully diluted basis pre-Offer (including Equity Shares which will result upon exercise of vested options under the ESOP Scheme). Since, post-Offer, the shareholding of our Promoters will be less than 20% of the post-Offer Equity Share capital of our Company, which is less than the requisite shareholding required for complying with minimum promoters’ contribution, therefore, in accordance with Regulation 14 of the SEBI ICDR Regulations CEAQ Singapore, one of our Shareholders which holds at least 5% of post-Offer Equity Share capital of our Company and is contributing 3,433,820*Equity Shares (“PC Shortfall Shares”)towards the shortfall in the Promoters’ Contribution by way of their consent letter dated October 19, 2026.

SPECIAL DIRECT TAX BENEFITS AVAILABLE TO THE COMPANY

1. Lower corporate tax rate under section 200 of ITA, 2025 (erstwhile section 115BAA of ITA, 1961) A new section 115BAA was inserted in the ITA, 1961 by the Taxation Laws (Amendment) Act, 2019 (“the Amendment Act, 2019”) w.e.f. April 1, 2020 (A.Y. 2020-21).

Section 200 of ITA, 2025 (erstwhile Section 115BAA of ITA, 1961) grants an option to a domestic company to be governed by this section from a particular assessment year. If a company opts for the same, it can pay corporate tax at a reduced rate of 25.168% (22% plus surcharge of 10% and education cess of 4%). Further, the domestic companies availing the option will not be required to pay Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) on their ‘book profits’ under section Section 206 of ITA, 2025 (erstwhile Section 115JB of the ITA, 1961).

However, such a company will no longer be eligible to avail specified exemptions / incentives and will also need to comply with the other conditions specified in section 200 of ITA, 2025 (erstwhile section 115BAA of the ITA, 1961). Also, if a company opts for the said lower corporate tax rate, the tax credit, if any, which it is entitled to on account of MAT paid in earlier years, will no longer be available. Further, it shall not be allowed to claim set-off of any brought forward loss arising to it on account of additional depreciation and other specified incentives.

The Company has evaluated and opted for the lower corporate tax rate of 25.168% (prescribed under

section 200 of ITA, 2025 (erstwhile section 115BAA of the ITA, 1961) with effect from the financial year 2023-24.

2. Deduction in respect of inter-corporate dividends –Section 148 of ITA, 2025 (erstwhile Section 80M of the ITA, 1961) Up to 31st March 2020, any dividend paid to a shareholder by a company was liable to Dividend Distribution Tax (“DDT”), and the recipient shareholder was exempt from tax. Pursuant to the amendment made by the Finance Act, 2020, DDT stands abolished, and dividend received by a shareholder on or after 1st April 2020 is liable to tax in the hands of the shareholder. The Company is required to deduct Tax Deducted at Source (“TDS”) at applicable rates specified under the Direct Tax Laws read with applicable Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (if any).

With respect to a resident corporate shareholder, section 148 of the ITA, 2025 (erstwhile section 80M of the ITA, 1961) was inserted to remove the cascading effect of taxes on inter-corporate dividends during FY 2020-21 and thereafter. The section provides that where the gross total income of a domestic company in any previous year includes any income by way of dividends from any other domestic company or a foreign company or a business trust, there shall, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this

section, be allowed in computing the total income of such domestic company, a deduction of an amount equal to so much of the amount of income by way of dividends received from such other domestic company or foreign company or business trust as does not exceed the amount of dividend distributed by it on or before the due date.

The proceeds from buyback were considered as dividend income for the shareholders from 01 October 2024 to 31 March 2026 and the Company was required to withhold tax at 10% provided the aggregate amount of dividend to the resident shareholders exceeds ₹ 5,000 during the financial year. Further, for non- resident shareholders tax was required to be withheld at 20%, subject to benefit under Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement.

1. Global Macro-Economic Overview

1.1. Overview of Global GDP In CY2026, the global economy is projected to grow at a muted pace of 3.1%, weighed down by the outbreak of conflict in the Middle East, rising energy prices, and persistent geopolitical tensions. After a post-pandemic rebound in CY2021, output has gradually slowed from 3.4% in CY2025, with growth expected to remain well below the pre-pandemic average of 3.7% through the forecast horizon. The slowdown reflects disrupted supply chains, tighter financial conditions, and elevated inflation stemming from the energy price shock.

Advanced economies are projected to expand by just 1.8% in CY2026, with Europe remaining subdued amid energy disruptions, weak manufacturing, and sluggish household consumption. Ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine continue to weigh on trade and investment. Headline inflation is easing, though persistent core inflation will keep central banks cautious.

Emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs)—a category defined by the IMF to include low- and middle-income countries with developing financial markets and industrial capacity—remain the main growth engine, with output projected at 3.9% in CY2026, moderating from 4.4% in CY2025. India leads with 6.5% growth, reinforcing its role as Asia's economic locomotive, while Southeast Asia shows resilience despite global headwinds. China's growth, forecast at 4.4% in CY2026, remains below expectations, held back by structural property market issues and weaker external demand. Broader EMDE risks include elevated debt, currency weakness, and constrained borrowing amid tighter global financial conditions.

The IMF's April 2026 World Economic Outlook projects global growth settling at 3.2% in CY2027 and CY2028, broadly at current levels but persistently below historical averages. Global headline inflation is expected to rise to

4.4% in CY2026 before moderating through CY2027. Downside risks remain elevated — a prolonged Middle East conflict, deeper geopolitical fragmentation, or renewed trade tensions could weaken growth further.

Coordinated policy efforts, productivity reforms, and targeted financial support will be critical to preserving stability.

1.2. GDP Growth Across Key Strategic Countries Over the past decade and a half, the global economy has experienced sharp cycles of contraction and recovery.

From CY2007–CY2016, world GDP growth averaged 3.4%, but the COVID-19 pandemic triggered a 2.7% contraction in CY2020 (advanced economies -4.0%, EMDEs -1.7%). This was followed by a sharp rebound in CY2021, with global growth of 6.6% (advanced economies +6.0%, EMDEs +7.0%).

1.3. Growth Outlook of Key Economies

United States: Growth came in at 2.1% in CY2025, supported by strong labor markets and technology-driven investment, though trade policy uncertainty and broad tariffs introduced in CY2025 weighed on business confidence and consumer spending. Looking ahead, the IMF projects growth at 2.3% in CY2026, with fiscal support from infrastructure and technology investment partly offsetting the drag from elevated inflation and a cautious monetary stance.

European Union:Output grew 1.4% in CY2025 but is forecast to slow to 1.1% in CY2026, as the Middle East conflict has amplified energy cost pressures and dampened manufacturing momentum. Germany continues to lag, while Spain and France show relative resilience through services and consumption. Defence spending commitments are expected to provide a modest fiscal boost, though the impact is projected to materialize gradually over subsequent years.

Japan: GDP grew 1.1% in CY2025 but is projected to moderate to 0.7% in CY2026. Structural headwinds — aging demographics, tepid domestic demand, and export weakness — continue to suppress momentum. Rising energy import costs stemming from the Middle East conflict add to constraints, even as monetary policy remains accommodative.

China:Growth is projected at 4.4% in CY2026, moderating from 4.6% in CY2025, as the external environment weakens amid higher energy prices and softer global demand. The real estate sector shows tentative stabilization, and policy stimulus continues to underpin activity, though structural headwinds and weaker household consumption cap the upside.

India: Remaining the fastest-growing major economy, India is projected to sustain approximately 6.5% growth in CY2026. Expansion is driven by robust private consumption, strong public investment, and favorable demographics. Structural reforms, digital infrastructure, and improvements in the ease of doing business continue to reinforce industrial and services sector momentum, cementing India's role as a global growth leader.

1.4. Growth Outlook on Key Emerging Markets Emerging markets are navigating a more challenging economic landscape in CY2026, as the outbreak of conflict in the Middle East has driven energy price shocks, tightened financial conditions, and amplified existing vulnerabilities. Commodity-importing economies face the sharpest pressure, while structural headwinds — elevated debt, currency weakness, and declining external aid —compound the outlook across several regions.

Latin America and the Caribbean: Growth is projected at 2.3% in CY2026, a slight moderation from 2.4% in CY2025, with Brazil and Mexico showing moderate but steady performance. Fiscal imbalances and external vulnerabilities persist, and the region faces additional headwinds from softer global demand and US dollar strengthening. Political uncertainty and commodity price volatility remain key risks.

Middle East and Central Asia: Growth is projected to slow sharply to 1.9% in CY2026, down from 3.6% in CY2025, as the region bears the most direct economic impact of the ongoing conflict. Oil exporters have absorbed significant downward revisions driven by lower production and disrupted energy infrastructure, while importers face rising inflation and compressed real incomes. Diversification efforts in Gulf economies provide some longer- term offset, but near-term prospects have deteriorated markedly.

Emerging Asia: Growth is projected to moderate to 4.9% in CY2026, down from 5.5% in CY2025, as higher energy import costs, currency depreciation pressures, and tighter financial conditions stemming from the Middle East conflict weigh on the region. India remains the standout at 6.5%, but broader momentum has softened.

Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam —all net energy importers —face compressed real incomes and weaker export demand. Technology-driven exports provide a partial offset, with semiconductor and equipment demand remaining relatively resilient, though insufficient to fully counteract the broader headwinds.

161Sub-Saharan Africa:Growth is forecast at 4.3% in CY2026, moderating from 4.5% in CY2025, as softer non- oil commodity prices, tighter financial conditions, and a sharp decline in bilateral foreign aid weigh on the outlook.

Energy importers within the region are most exposed,while median inflation is projected to rise. IMF-supported programs continue to provide a degree of stabilization for select economies.

Emerging and Developing Europe: Growth is projected at 2.0% in CY2026, unchanged from CY2025, reflecting continued resilience in Poland and Romania offset by persistent energy insecurity and the ongoing drag from the Russia-Ukraine war. Defence spending commitments are rising across theregion, which may provide a modest near-term fiscal boost, though the structural impact will take time to materialize.

While emerging markets remain exposed to global shocks, adaptation through alternative trade alignments, domestic policy buffers, and selective structural reforms is ongoing. Investor confidence is gradually returning in economies like India and Brazil, though the Middle East conflict has reset the risk environment across the broader EMDE universe.

2. India’s Macro-Economic Overview India enters FY2026 as one of the fastest-growing major economies, with GDP growth projected at 6.5% — a resilient performance against a backdrop of global disruption driven by the Middle East conflict, elevated energy prices, and tighter financial conditions. Growth continues to be underpinned by robust domestic demand, public infrastructure investment, a dynamic services sector, and ongoing digital transformation.

However, inflationary pressures have re-emerged and warrant attention. WPI inflation surged to 8.3% in April 2026 — a 42-month high — driven by a 24.7% spike in the fuel and power segment as global energy prices escalated sharply following the outbreak of conflict in the Middle East. This marks a sharp reversal from the low- inflation environment of FY2025. CPI inflation rose to 3.9% in May 2026, the highest in 16 months, with food inflation climbing to 4.8% as higher energy and fertilizer costs fed through to the agricultural supply chain. While CPI remains below the RBI's 4% medium-point threshold, the trajectory warrants a cautious monetary stance.

Rising input costs at the wholesale level risk compressing margins in manufacturing and construction, and could dampen real income growth if the energy price shock persists.

Source: IMF India has demonstrated a strong recovery since the pandemic-induced contraction in FY2020, sustaining growth momentum through successive global shocks. GDP growth reached 6.5% in FY2026, reflecting strong domestic consumption, public investment, and digital expansion. While rising energy costs present a headwind to industrial margins and real income growth, India's structural fundamentals and public investment pipeline are expected to sustain its growth trajectory through FY2026.

2.2. Public Administration, Defence, and Other Service Sector GVA Growth In India's economy, the Public Administration, Defence and Other Services (PA-DS) sector is foundational —it accounted for 13% of total Gross Value Added in FY2025–26 (current prices), representing approximately 24% 162 )%( htworG PDG laeRof Services sector output. The broader Services sector comprised 54.3% of total GVA in FY2025–26, continuing its structural rise as the dominant driver of India's economy. PA-DS recorded nominal GVA growth of 10.0% in FY2025–26, supported by expanded government spending, defence modernisation, and public service delivery — though real growth moderated to 5.0%, reflecting the sector's relatively lower productivity gains compared to the faster-growing financial services and trade sub-sectors within the Tertiary sector.

Key Growth Drivers in FY2025–26:  Government Spending: The Union Budget FY2026–27 allocated a record INR 7.85 lakh crore to the Ministry of Defence, with capital outlay of INR 2.19 lakh crore —a 22% increase over the previous year — alongside continued investments in social schemes (PM-JAY, PM-POSHAN, Samagra Shiksha) and digital governance infrastructure, all supporting multiplier effects across industrial supply chains.

 Digital Governance Push: Expanded adoption of UMANG, DigiLocker, and API-based e-Governance modules drove administrative efficiencies and transparency, bolstering public confidence and inclusive service delivery.

 Welfare-Oriented Schemes: Continued focus on Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY), PM-POSHAN, and skill development schemes fuelled GVA growth, supplemented by the new Bio Pharma Shakti initiative supporting domestic healthcare infrastructure.

 Defence Sector Modernisation: Accelerated procurement of indigenous platforms including electronic warfare systems, UAVs, advanced optical sensors, and surveillance payloads — with 75% of the capital acquisition budget reserved for domestic industries — created strengthened demand for specialised companies like Tonbo Imaging supporting India's network-centric warfare ambitions.

 Urban & Rural Administration:Mission-driven programs including Jal Jeevan Mission, PMAY-Rural, and the VB-G RAM G rural employment scheme streamlined last-mile service delivery and increased public- sector job creation at local levels, while rural development allocation rose to INR 1.97 lakh crore in FY2026–

Key downside risks include weaker external demand, oil-price shocks stemming from the Middle East conflict, and weather-driven food inflation, while deeper structural reforms could further lift potential growth over the forecast horizon.

3. Geopolitical Context

3.1. Key Conflicts, Wars, and Tensions Globally Geopolitical instability continues to define the global risk landscape in CY2026, shaping energy markets, trade corridors, defence strategies, and inflation trajectories. Several active and latent conflict areas are impacting global

security and economic policy:  US–Israel–Iran War: The most consequential conflict of CY2026. US and Israeli strikes on February 28 killed Supreme Leader Khamenei; Iran retaliated by closing the Strait of Hormuz, driving oil above $100 per barrel and triggering fuel shortages across Asia. A ceasefire and MoU followed, but the Strait remains live —an IRGC drone struck a vessel on June 25 and mines persist in the waterway.

 Israel–Lebanon–Hezbollah Conflict:Israel invaded southern Lebanon in March 2026, displacing over 1.2 million people. Multiple US-brokered ceasefires have been rejected by Hezbollah, with active hostilities continuing and resolution tied to broader Iran MoU negotiations.

 Russia–Ukraine War: Now in its fifth year with the frontline largely static and combined casualties exceeding 1.3 million, driving record NATO defence spending with all member states now meeting the 2% GDP threshold.

 Indo-Pacific Tensions:China continues to escalate military pressure on Taiwan and in the South China Sea.

A Trump-Xi summit in May 2026 raised doubts over US commitments to Taiwan, with regional allies increasingly hedging between Washington and Beijing.  India’s Border Pressures:The Pahalgam terror attack in May 2025 triggered missile and drone exchanges with Pakistan — the worst confrontation since Kargil — with LoC tensions remaining elevated and LAC posturing with China continuing.

 Middle East Militancy: ISIS remnants in Syria/Iraq and Houthi operations in Yemen continue to threaten vital shipping lanes and oil transit routes, with Houthi activity elevated in the wake of the Iran war.

Together, these flashpoints have fundamentally redrawn defence priorities, multilateral alliances, and trade strategies across NATO, ASEAN, GCC, and QUAD nations.

In recent years, geopolitical instability, including border conflicts, rising regional tensions, and emerging non- state threats, has led to accelerated procurement through emergency purchase mechanisms and fast-track acquisitions. These mechanisms are designed to address immediate operational needs, leading to sudden spikes in demand for defence electronics. While this has created short-term demand surges, such procurement cycles are episodic and may not be sustained if geopolitical tensions subside or governments revert to conventional, multi- year acquisition programs. The episodic nature of emergency procurement leads to fluctuations in order volumes 164 )%( htworG PDG laeRand revenue, making it difficult for companies to forecast and plan long-term investments or resource allocation.

Consequently, revenue visibility can be inconsistent, and conversion of opportunities from the broader Total Addressable Market (“TAM”) and Serviceable Addressable Market (“SAM”) often remains a prolonged, resource-intensive process in the absence of conflict-driven urgency.

3.2. Key Drivers for the Rising Demand for Defence Technologies In the current global context, several key drivers have significantly shaped defence priorities and technology

investments worldwide:  High-Intensity Conventional Warfare: Conflicts such as the Russo-Ukraine War have highlighted gaps in artillery, air defence, and logistics, spurring investments in long-range fires and integrated air-defence networks.

 Asymmetric Warfare and Drone Usage:The extensive use of UAVs in Ukraine and Gaza is accelerating demand for counter-drone systems, including jammers, radars, and directed-energy weapons.  Cyber Warfare and Digital Battlespace Vulnerabilities: Increasing cyber threats on infrastructure are pushing defence agencies to expand cyber-intelligence, intrusion detection, and resilient C2 networks.

 Militarisation of Space and Maritime Domains: Rising anti-satellite capabilities and naval activity in chokepoints are driving demand for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) assets, including Electro-Optical/Infrared payloads and maritime reconnaissance systems.

3.3. Rise in Global Terrorism, and Counter-Terrorism Capabilities As of CY2026, global terrorism deaths reached their lowest level in a decade — 5,582 deaths across 2,944 incidents in CY2025 per the Global Terrorism Index 2026 —yet the improvement is geographically concentrated and potentially short-lived. Both state-sponsored actors and non-state militant groups increasingly leverage advanced drone technology, decentralised networks, and hybrid warfare strategies to evade conventional security apparatuses, with the complexity and reach of terrorist threats expanding beyond traditional theatres of conflict to cyberspace and urban centres worldwide. The outbreak of the Iran war and escalating South Asian tensions in CY2026 have materially reset the threat trajectory upward.

Key Regions Impacted:  Middle East: ISIS affiliates remain active in Syria and Iraq, exploiting the regional distraction of the Iran war to reconstitute. Iran's proxy network – Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis – has been significantly degraded by Israeli strikes, but these groups are now operating with greater autonomy and unpredictability.

The IRGC has been linked to over 157 terrorist plots across 15 countries in the past five years, and the breakdown in centralised Iranian command raises the risk of unilateral proxy escalation. Houthi operations in Yemen continue to threaten Red Sea shipping lanes.

 South Asia:Pakistan has for the first time become the country most impacted by terrorism per the GTI 2026, driven by a Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) resurgence from Afghan safe havens. The Pahalgam terror attack in May 2025 triggered India-Pakistan missile and drone exchanges –the worst military confrontation since Kargil –with cross-border terrorism remaining the primary trigger for interstate escalation.

 Africa:The Sahel remains the global epicentre of terrorism, accounting for over half of all terrorism-related deaths worldwide. JNIM and Islamic State Sahel Province continue to expand into governance vacuums left by the withdrawal of French and UN forces, with violence now spreading into coastal West African nations including Benin and Togo.

 Europe & North America:Deaths from terrorism in the West surged 280% in CY2025, contrasting starkly against the global decline, with lone-wolf attacks driven by online radicalisation and political polarisation remaining the dominant vector.

3.3.1. India’s Counter Terrorism Strategy India remains a prominent target of cross-border terrorism, primarily due to its long-standing conflict with Pakistan and ongoing security challenges along its western and northern borders. This is compounded by India’s ongoing physical border tensions with China, which are driving defence agencies to enhance cyber-intelligence, 165intrusion detection, and resilient command-and-control capabilities. These threats have driven a sustained focus on modernisation of forces, intelligence integration, and proactive counter-terrorism measures.

Key Initiatives:  Modernization of Forces: Procurement of bullet-proof armored vehicles, long-endurance UAVs for continuous surveillance of border regions, and AI-enabled facial recognition at key transit points.

 Strengthening Intelligence Apparatus:Upgrading of NTRO (National Technical Research Organization), bolstering multi-agency coordination hubs, and leveraging big data analytics to track suspect movements and communications.

 Smart Policing & Internal Security: Expansion of CCTNS (Crime and Criminal Tracking Network & Systems), NATGRID (National Intelligence Grid), and smart city Command and Control Centers to integrate feeds from CCTV and sensors in urban areas.

 Cyber Counter-Terrorism Units:Creation of specialized cyber-intelligence task forces under the MHA and defence agencies to trace digital radicalization and dismantle financing channels.

3.4. India’s Geopolitical Context India’s defence posture and spending reflect evolving global requirements alongside regional challenges, especially concerning its borders with China and Pakistan.

3.4.1. Budgetary Allocation and Modernization Focus

Key Initiatives Underway:  Indigenization:Accelerating domestic production of next-generation platforms, including the Tejas Mk1A fighter jet, Dhanush howitzers, Akash surface-to-air missile systems, and Arjun MBTs.

 Make in India for Defence: Strengthening strategic partnerships with countries like Israel, France, and the U.S. for technology transfers in missile systems, jet engines, and naval propulsion. This supports India’s ambitions to scale up local R&D, manufacturing, and skill development, while reducing imports.

 Growth in Defence Exports: India’s defence exports surged to INR 38,424 crore in FY2025–26, up significantly from INR 1,521 crore in FY2016–17, driven by competitive pricing and demand for systems such as the BrahMos cruise missile, Pinaka multi-barrel rocket launchers, and advanced surveillance equipment.

3.4.2. India’s Strategic Advantage as a Supplier  Cost-Effective Indigenous Systems: Indigenous products like the Tejas Mk1A light fighter, Pinaka rocket system, and Arjun Main Battle Tank highlight India’s engineering capabilities at competitive prices, attracting interest across Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.

 Neutral Strategic Posture: India’s long-standing policy of strategic autonomy allows it to supply defence hardware across different geopolitical blocs, appealing to countries diversifying their suppliers.

 Vibrant Defence MSME Ecosystem: Over 15,000 Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) contribute components such as avionics, electro-optical payloads, and cybersecurity software into DRDO and DPSU supply chains. Initiatives like Atmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India encourage joint ventures and co- production with international OEMs  Emerging Competitive Edge: With ongoing investments in domestic R&D centers and dedicated defence corridors in Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, India is becoming a credible alternative to traditional suppliers in Europe and the U.S. Its exports, including advanced missiles, drones, and sensors, reinforced by competitive financing options, support India’s emergence as a stable and capable supplier to the Global South and middle-income economies.

3.4.3. Evolution of Warfare and Industry As modern warfare adapts to new age conflicts and disruptive technologies, defence industries face a 166transformative phase:  Militarization of Space: Space is becoming a contested domain. Major powers deploy satellites for reconnaissance, communications, and targeting alongside anti-satellite (ASAT) capabilities. Nations must invest in space situational awareness (SSA), anti-jamming measures, and hardened satellites to ensure reliability in conflicts.

 AI and Autonomous Warfare: AI-driven combat, including swarm drone attacks, autonomous wingmen supporting fighter jets, and predictive maintenance, will shape future battlefields. Military planners aim to enhance real-time target recognition, threat prioritization, and logistics responsiveness. For instance, the U.S.

Air Force’s Skyborg program is working on artificial intelligence-enabled autonomous wingmen that will fly alongside piloted aircraft and perform both defensive and offensive roles.  Hybrid Warfare and Multi-Domain Operations: Future conflicts will integrate kinetic strikes with information warfare, cyberattacks, and psychological operations. Protecting power grids, financial systems, and public morale will be as critical as traditional military engagements.

 Collaborative R&D and Interoperability:Alliances like QUAD, AUKUS, and I2U2 promote cooperative R&D in quantum computing, undersea warfare, AI, and hypersonic. Partner nations reduce costs and improve interoperability through co-development, cross-border consortia, and sharing intellectual property, delivering affordable, modular solutions for coalition operations.

Autonomous systems are transforming modern warfare by using AI, sensor fusion, and real-time decision-making to conduct faster, safer, and more precise operations with minimal human intervention. They reduce risk to personnel by handling dangerous tasks like mine clearance, reconnaissance, and contested airspace surveillance, extend operational reach, and process data at machine speed for accurate targeting and reduced collateral damage.

Capable of rapid, adaptive responses in electronic, cyber, and kineticdomains, they enable swarming tactics for resilience and mission continuity. Rather than replacing humans, autonomy shifts their role from operators to strategic decision-makers, allowing machines to manage routine, hazardous, or time-critical tasks.

Going forward, the integrated systems in modern day battlefield are changing:  Missiles are being replaced by loitering munitions  Fighter aircrafts are making way for unmanned combat drones and need for counter-drone systems are becoming prevalent  Tanks and heavy infantry vehicles are being replaced by more nimble unmanned ground vehicles with autonomous weaponry

 Procurement has prioritized force protection, precision-guided munitions, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) payloads, and loitering munitions, with accelerated deployment of Electro- Optical/Infrared and AI-driven sensor systems.

4.5. Key Drivers for Global Defence Spending Global defence expenditure is rising across all regions, driven by systemic shocks, evolving threats, and the need to rebuild combat mass. Below are the seven most critical forces shaping spending:

4.5.1. Multipolar Competition and Sustained Conflict  Global Russia–Ukraine war, Israel’s multi-front campaigns, and the CY2025 India–Pakistan conflict underscore a return to high-intensity, state-on-state warfare.

 China’s assertiveness in the South China Sea and around Taiwan reflects coercive diplomacy backed by military force.  Result: Higher spending on Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), loitering munitions, and multi-sensor Electro-Optical/Infrared suites for information-dominant warfare.

4.5.2. Recalibrated National Defence Strategies  Budgets have pivoted from counterinsurgency to long-term territorial defence, increasing spend on heavy artillery, and resilient Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) systems which can withstand high intensity conflict environments.

 NATO’s New Force Model and similar doctrines drive investment in AI-enabled sensor fusion, long-range strike capabilities, and high-precision targeting systems.

4.5.3. Depleted Inventories and the Rebuilding of Strategic Stockpiles  The Russia–Ukraine war exposed depleted Western munitions reserves and capacity gaps.  Nations are procuring long-range artillery, PGMs, and missile defence systems, prioritizing affordability and mass alongside next-gen systems.

4.5.4. Software-Defined and Digitally Enabled Warfare 171 Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) data fusion, AI-enabled targeting, and resilient C2 networks now command a dedicated share of budgets.

 Increasing investment focus on edge computing, network-enabled remotely controlled munitions (e.g. loitering drones), and secure communications.

4.5.5. New Acquisition Models and Institutional Reform  Agile procurement models replace slow, centralized frameworks.  Examples: India’s Innovations for Defence Excellence (iDEX), U.S. Defence Innovation Unit, UK’s Defence and Security Accelerator, and NATO’s DIANA.

 Emphasis on prototyping, COTS adoption, and dual-use innovation.

4.5.6. Workforce, Readiness, and Societal Resilience  Personnel shortfalls—especially in high-skill, technical roles—are constraining transformation, prompting reforms to career models, incentives, and training pipelines, alongside higher spend on unit readiness and availability.

 Force planning now embeds societal resilience—civil infrastructure, industrial mobilization capacity, and surge logistics—into NATO-aligned force-generation models.

4.6. Global Defence Modernization –Opportunity Size and Trends The global defence modernization landscape is evolving in response to mounting geopolitical uncertainty, supply chain disruption, and the urgent need for capability renewal. Between CY2026 and CY2030, global defence spending is expected to grow steadily across all regions, with cumulative annual expenditure projected to rise from USD 3,548 billion to over USD 4,410 billion by CY2030, representing a CAGR of approximately 5.6%.

While baseline defence budgets continue to support personnel, operations, and legacy platforms, a growing share is being channeled toward modernization and capability transformation.

4.6.1. Modernization as a Rising Share of Defence Budgets Modernization is taking a growing share of global defence budgets, signaling a shift from legacy maintenance to next-generation capabilities in Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), integrated air and missile defence, AI-enabled command, cyber resilience, and precision munitions.

 United States:Total acquisition funding (procurement + RDT&E) reached USD 384 billion in CY2026, an 18% real-terms increase over FY2025. Priorities include the B-21 bomber, Columbia-class submarines, the F-47 next-generation fighter, Golden Dome missile defence, and hypersonic weapons.

 China: Military expenditure estimated at USD 336 billion in CY2025 (SIPRI), a 7.4% real-terms increase and the 31st consecutive annual rise, focused on naval expansion, J-20 production, DF-series hypersonic missiles, and military AI and space capabilities.

 Japan:Record defence budget of ~USD 58 billion approved for FY2026, up 9.4% —the fourth year of its Defence Buildup Program allocating USD 275 billion over FY2023–27. Key investments include standoff missiles, next-generation fighter development with the UK and Italy, and AI-operated unmanned systems.

 Germany:Europe's largest spender at USD 113.6 billion in CY2025, with F-35A, Eurofighter upgrades, and Arrow 3 missile defence as key programs.  France:EUR 413 billion (CY2024–30) under the Loi de Programmation Militaire, focused on FCAS, Aster SAMs, and Scorpion vehicles.

 Israel:Spending at USD 48.3 billion in CY2025 (7.81% of GDP), with Iron Dome, David's Sling, loitering munitions, and battlefield digitisation as priorities, alongside post-conflict stockpile replenishment.

By CY2030, modernization will account for 30–45% of defence budgets in advanced economies, versus 15–25% in emerging economies, where fiscal and industrial constraints slow capability development.

1724.6.2. Key Modernization Trends  Proliferation of Unmanned and Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (Counter-UAS): Lessons from Ukraine have accelerated the adoption of unmanned systems and loitering munitions, and the development of cost-effective countermeasures. Investment is growing in thermal imaging, radar discrimination, and Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs) to neutralize drone threats. These systems are increasingly used for precision targeting of high-value assets, including command nodes and mobile missile launchers, marking a shift from traditional battlefield engagements to targeted eliminations.

 Digitalization of Defence Manufacturing: Across the U.S. and Europe, digitalization is fast becoming a prerequisite for defence industrial participation. Initiatives like the U.S. Defence Industrial Strategy and the European Defence Fund (EDF) increasingly mandate digital engineering, AI-readiness, and secure-by-design software protocols in acquisition. While not yet formalized in India, programs like iDEX and Make-II are moving toward digital-first evaluations in procurement and development partnerships.

 C4Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) and Sensor Fusion:The demand for integrated situational awareness is leading to adoption of battlefield management systems, AI-powered Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) analytics, and open-standard sensor fusion architectures. Enhanced MANET communications, SATCOM, and AI-enhanced decision aids are seeing rapid deployment.

 Space and Electromagnetic Warfare:The weaponization of space, proliferation of EMP-hardened systems, and satellite-based targeting and communications platforms are becoming focal points of modernization budgets. Nations are developing multi-domain awareness and deterrence capabilities leveraging SAR, multispectral sensors, and anti-jamming technologies.

 Industrial Base Expansion with Tier-2/Tier-3 Participation: Primes are increasingly relying on risk- sharing partnerships with smaller firms. In regions like India and the EU, this model enables rapid development of low-cost, high-impact subsystems such as electro-optical (EO) sensors, unmanned aerial systems (UAS) components, and passive radar arrays.

4.7. Strategic Trends in Modern Warfare (Defensive Systems) Modern warfare is shifting from platform-centric to network-centric operations, built on sensor fusion, AI, real- time data, and autonomous systems. Defensive priorities emphasize operational transparency, accelerated decision cycles, and machine-augmented awareness.

4.7.1. Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) underpins modern defence by delivering continuous, multi- domain situational awareness across air, land, sea, space, and cyber. It enables detection, targeting, force protection, and information dominance, making it a central pillar of multi-domain operations (MDO).

Key shifts include:  From platforms to ecosystems: Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) is evolving from isolated platforms to integrated networks linking satellites, drones, radar, and allied systems. Countries such as the U.S., France, India, Australia, and Japan are building interoperable, service-agnostic Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) ecosystems.

 Persistent sensing in contested zones: Hybrid satellite constellations, stratospheric high altitude pseudo- satellites (HAPS), and autonomous Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) drones ensure resilience against anti-satellite weapons, jamming, and restricted access.

 AI, data fusion, and edge computing:AI-driven object detection, anomaly alerts, and predictive analytics shorten decision timelines. Edge processing reduces latency and bandwidth needs.  Resilience under attack: To counter Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) spoofing, C-UAS, and cyber jamming, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) nodes now feature redundancy, LPD/frequency-agile comms, and AI-enabled failover logic.

 Enabler of Multi-Domain Operations: Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) guides precision fires, supports cyber/electronic warfare (EW) integration, and sustains mission command in 173contested environments.

Global examples:  U.S.:JADC2 integration with platforms like TITAN, Global Hawk, and Raytheon’s C2 suites.  Europe:FCAS cloud-based Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) networks linking manned and unmanned systems.

 India: Netra AEW&CS, satellite fusion, and private partnerships (e.g., Tata Advanced Systems, Tonbo Imaging).  Australia & Japan:Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) interoperability through AUKUS and integration with U.S. sensor networks.

4.7.2. Artificial Intelligence AI is becoming a defining enabler of modern defence, offering faster detection, classification, and tracking than human-led systems. It is embedded across Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), Command & Control (C2), EW, logistics, and kinetic operations, giving militaries a tactical edge and shaping the future balance of power.

Key developments include:  Architecture shift: Transition from human-in-the-loop to human-on-the-loop, where AI manages fusion, prioritization, and low-level decisions (e.g., UAS swarms, threat classification), while humans oversee confirmation and strategy.

 Multi-domain situational awareness: AI fuses Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) streams, including Electro-Optical/Infrared, radar, Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Electronic Intelligence

(ELINT), to detect anomalies, predict intent, and prioritise threats. Examples include maritime awareness in the Indo-Pacific, counter-UAS in the Middle East, and border automation in Central Asia.  Operational decision support: AI enables course-of-action generation, sensor-to-shooter automation, and real-time wargaming, increasingly embedded in mobile command centers for distributed operations.

 Autonomy:Expanding across UAV swarms (loitering munitions, battlefield mapping), Unmanned Ground Vehicle – UGV (EOD, route clearance, logistics), and Unmanned Underwater Vehicle – UUV (mine countermeasures, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), ASW). These reduce risk to humans and extend reach into denied environments.

4.7.3. Imaging Technologies Imaging technologies encompass electro-optical (EO), infrared (IR), multispectral, and hyperspectral systems that capture, process, and interpret visual and thermal data. They enable persistent, high-fidelity, all-weather visibility for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), targeting, navigation, and early warning. These include night-vision devices, thermal imagers, airborne sensor pods, stabilized gimbals, and space-based cameras.

Global Electro-Optical/Infrared is growing faster than the overall defence market because passive, non-emitting sensors are far less vulnerable to jamming than active systems like radar, while providing the high-resolution, target-specific imagery modern precision warfare increasingly depends on.

Leading companies—Teledyne FLIR, L3Harris, Elbit, Rafael, and Leonardo DRS—are driving advances in AI- powered image processing, wide-area surveillance, and edge-enabled sensors. Future breakthroughs are expected in quantum imaging, hyperspectral analysis, and onboard AI, positioning imaging as a force multiplier in multi- domain operations.

174Figure 9: A Forward-looking Infrared (FLIR) system on a U.S. Air Force helicopter during search and rescue operation

Key developments include:  Multi-spectral fusion:Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) for all-weather coverage, hyperspectral for concealed target detection, and LIDAR/GMTI for urban mapping and GPS-denied navigation.

 Miniaturization:High-performance sensors deployed on micro-UAVs, CubeSats, and autonomous maritime platforms, expanding reach and redundancy.  Real-time exploitation:Onboard AI modules and change-detection algorithms support immediate targeting and decision-making in fast-moving scenarios.

 Global use cases: Border surveillance (India–China, South China Sea), counter-insurgency/urban warfare, Arctic monitoring, and space-based missile tracking.  Sovereign capability:Nations like France, South Korea, UAE, and Brazil are investing in domestic satellite imaging programs to secure access, ensure flexibility, and integrate dual-use commercial constellations.

4.7.4. Autonomous Systems Autonomous systems are now operational across all domains, valued for their ability to extend reach, absorb risk, and sustain operations in denied environments. Modern platforms sense, adapt, and coordinate missions independently, reducing operator burden and accelerating the kill chain.

175Figure 10: Concept showing Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T).

Key developments include:  Spectrum of autonomy: Militaries are moving from operator-controlled UAVs like the MQ-9 Reaper and Bayraktar TB2, toward swarming loitering munitions and early trials of fully autonomous AI-led missions.

 Multi-domain deployment: Autonomy is expanding across air (CATS Warrior, Ghost Bat loyal wingmen), land (UGVs for logistics and route clearance), maritime (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles – AUV and Unmanned Surface Vehicles –USVs in the Strait of Hormuz), and space (In-Space Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing –ISAM satellite servicing drones).

 Operational value: Autonomy allows persistent Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) and strike in contested zones, reduces troop risk in Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) environments, and provides asymmetric mass where low-cost fleets canoverwhelm advanced adversaries.

 C2 and mission autonomy:Advances in swarming algorithms and mission-level AI are enabling systems to self-assign tasks, adapt to attrition, and shift from surveillance to strike without operator intervention.

4.8. Strategic Trends in Modern Warfare (Offensive Systems) Offensive warfare is shifting from heavy, logistics-intensive platforms to compact, autonomous, and software- defined strike systems. The drivers are faster kill chains, reduced lifecycle costs, and survivability against modern air defences and EW threats.

4.8.1. Directed Energy Systems (DES) DES—including high-energy lasers (HELs), high-power microwaves (HPMs), and radiofrequency (RF) jammers—are redefining both offence and defence. They deliver speed-of-light engagement, near-zero per-shot cost, and effectively unlimited magazines. Adoption is accelerating as drone swarms, missile salvos, and hypersonic threats strain traditional interceptors.

High Power Microwave (HPM) systems provide a non-kinetic alternative by projecting directed electromagnetic energy to disrupt or disable drone electronics at tactically useful ranges. HPM offers scalable effects—from temporary disruption to permanent damage—enables simultaneous engagement of multiple targets, and delivers a very low cost-per-engagement compared with missiles or guns. These attributes reduce logistics burdens and allow sustained defensive operations against massed autonomous threats.

Operationally, HPM weapon systems comprise modulators, amplifiers (klystrons), pulse compressors, antennas on motorized pan-tilt mounts, and an electro-optics targeting subsystem for precise aiming. The architecture supports stationary or mobile ground andnaval deployments, with modules coordinated to generate, amplify, and direct microwave energy for effective neutralization. Integrated with existing sensors and kinetic layers, HPM forms a cost-effective, scalable component of a layered counter-UAS strategy.

176Key developments include:  Transition drivers: DES offer a decisive cost-per-shot advantage (dollars vs. hundreds of thousands for missiles), instantaneous engagement against UAVs and hypersonics, and unlimited replenishment via power supply, making them ideal against saturation attacks.

 Maturation across domains: Land-based systems like Israel’s Iron Beam, Rheinmetall’s Skynex, and India’s DEW trials are protecting bases and cities; the U.S. Navy’s HELIOS is being integrated on destroyers;

and airborne DEW concepts target ballistic missiles during boost phase.  Operational roles: DES are evolving into layered kill-web components—counter-UAS in urban zones, missile-defence augmentation to thin salvos, and HPM electronic attack to disable sensors and comms in escalation-sensitive environments.

 Market growth:The global DEW market is projected to grow from $504 million in CY2025 to $5.6 billion by CY2030 (CAGR >60%), with Israel, U.S., China, and India leading early deployment.

4.8.2. Autonomous Loitering Munitions, and Missiles Autonomous loitering munitions are small, expendable UAV-borne warheads that loiter over a target area, autonomously navigate and search, then dive to strike a positively identified target—typically with a human-in/on- the-loop for consent; they integrate compact fixed/folding-wing airframes and electric/hybrid propulsion with Electro-Optical/Infrared (sometimes RF/Millimeter Wave) seekers, GNSS/INS guidance with geofenced fail- safes/self-destruct, secure datalinks to portable controllers, and mission-tailored high explosive or shaped-charge warheads, and are usually tube-or vehicle-launched.

Key developments include:  Drivers of adoption:Loitering munitions and autonomous missiles mitigate the vulnerabilities of expensive fighters—reducing pilot risk, enabling persistent Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR)-strike, and delivering cost-effective saturation in denied airspace.

 Rise of loitering munitions:Systems such as the Switchblade, Hero, Lancet, Harop, SkyStriker, and India’s ALS-50 offer autonomous navigation, surveillance, and precision strike. Proven in Nagorno-Karabakh, Ukraine, Gaza, and Libya, they deliver overmatch against armor, radars, and supply nodes.

 High-speed autonomous missiles: AI-enabled cruise and hypersonic weapons (e.g., Russia’s Avangard, China’s DF-ZF, India’s HSTDV, U.S. ARRW, China’s YJ-21) promise rapid penetration, re-targeting in flight, and multi-vector strike coordination.

177 Integration with manned platforms:Loyal wingman concepts—Australia’s Loyal Wingman, India’s CATS Warrior, U.S. Skyborg, Europe’s FCAS remote carriers—pair manned fighters with autonomous assets for scouting, jamming, and first-strike roles.

 Industrial and geopolitical impact: Nations such as Iran, Türkiye, and Israel are scaling indigenous production for exports; Eastern Europe and Indo-Pacific states are investing heavily. OEMs are modularizing payloads, hardening navigation, and enabling interoperability across platforms.

4.9. Global Regulations in Defence Trade The global defence trade ecosystem operates under a complex lattice of international regulations, bilateral treaties, and national export control regimes. These frameworks, designed to balance national security, geopolitical stability, and non-proliferation, play a decisive role in shaping the flow of military hardware, subsystems, and dual-use technologies across borders.

Among these regulations, the United States International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) has emerged as one of the most far-reaching and commercially influential frameworks.

4.9.1. International Traffic in Arms Regulation The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) remains the most influential and extraterritorial of all defence export control systems.  Administered by:U.S. Department of State, Directorate of Defence Trade Controls (DDTC)  Applies to: All items on the U.S. Munitions List (USML), including weapons, electronics, military-grade optics, UAVs, and many components and subsystems critical to global supply chains.

Key Characteristics:  Extraterritorial Reach: Any product or system containing U.S.-origin defence components—even if manufactured or assembled abroad—falls under ITAR purview. This includes software, subcomponents, and technical data.

 Licensing and End-Use Controls:Exporters must obtain approval for every transaction, specifying the end- user and application. Unauthorized re-transfer or deviation from licensed use can result in severe penalties.

 Partner Restrictions: ITAR prohibits exports to embargoed nations and imposes stringent limitations on certain countries (e.g., China, Iran, North Korea, Russia), constraining multi-country supply chains and joint ventures.

Strategic Implications:

178 Market Access Constraints: Defence exporters operating within U.S.-linked supply chains often face restrictions entering certain global markets disfavored by U.S. foreign policy. As a result, several OEMs have adopted ITAR-free design strategies to preserve access to non-aligned regions, ensuring platforms remain commercially viable across a wider set of geographies.

 Partner Vetting Complexity: Companies engaged in multinational programs must conduct meticulous vetting of their collaborators, sub-suppliers, and investors for potential ITAR exposure. This has led to the formalization of "ITAR-free" program mandates in several countries, especiallyin Europe and Asia, to avoid deal-breaking compliance hurdles at late stages of development or export negotiation.

 Innovation Friction: Concerns over licensing delays, export uncertainty, and restrictions on technical collaboration have driven a wave of indigenous development efforts aimed at full autonomy. Entities like France’s Thales and Dassault, Israel’s IAI, and India’s DRDO have proactively pursued ITAR-free development of mission-critical systems, such as Electro-Optical/Infrared payloads, data links, missile seekers, and avionics, where even small U.S.-origin components could trigger regulatory entanglements.

4.9.2. Missile Technology Control Regime The Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) is a voluntary, consensus-based framework established to limit the spread of missile systems and unmanned delivery platforms capable of carrying weapons of mass destruction (nuclear, chemical, and biological).

 Established: CY1987; 35 members  Scope: The scope is divided into two categories,

Category I: Complete delivery systems (e.g., cruise missiles, MALE/HALE UAVs) capable of carrying a 500 kg payload over 300 km. Exports are presumed to be denied.

Category II: Components, subassemblies, and systems with shorter range or lighter payload—exportable subject to national discretion and end-use validation.

Strategic Implications:  Directly influences loitering munition and long-range drone exports, especially to non-MTCR countries.  India’s accession to MTCR in CY2016 enabled more latitude in developing systems like the Shaurya missile and long-range Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) drones, while opening export markets (e.g., Philippines, Armenia).

 Restricts co-development with certain partners, limiting global diffusion of high-speed, precision-strike capabilities.

4.9.3. Wassenaar Arrangement The Wassenaar Arrangement governs exports of conventional arms and dual-use technologies with potential military applications.  Participants:42 countries, including major defence exporters (U.S., EU states, Japan, South Korea, India)  Focus areas: Radars, Electro-Optical/Infrared sensors, cryptographic systems, AI-enabled tools, semiconductor-grade electronics, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) platform

Strategic Impact:  Wassenaar’s controls target commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components that can be weaponized or integrated into defence platforms (e.g., image processors, RF modules, signal processing chips).

 Growing emphasis on emerging technologies, e.g., AI-enabled target recognition, quantum cryptography, and cyber-intelligence platforms, indicating a move beyond hardware to include algorithms, software libraries, and training datasets.

4.9.4. EU Common Position and National Controls Europe operates under the EU Common Position on Arms Exports, which requires:

179 Assessment of end-use and human rights implications;  Export denial if there is a “clear risk” of misuse or diversion;  Coordination among member states to avoid undercutting embargoed markets.

This results in divergent interpretations, e.g., Germany often applies stricter criteria than France or Italy, impacting joint programs like Eurodrone or FCAS.

Additionally, the European Union has adopted the Security Action for Europe Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2025/1106) (“SAFE”) and the European Defence Industry Programme Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2025/2643) (“EDIP”). Accordingly, exports to Europe made under procurements financed through these instruments need to be in compliance with European regulations, including SAFE and EDIP, which require that a minimum of 65% of the estimated cost of components of the end product be sourced from the European Union, EEA-EFTA States and Ukraine for procurements made by certain customers.

National controls also persist:  France: Maintains strong national discretion in defence exports, balancing sovereign industry support and geopolitical interests.  Germany:Recently moved toward liberalization but remains risk-averse in conflict zones.

 India’s SCOMET list: Now harmonized with MTCR/Wassenaar, increasingly used to regulate UAVs, radars, propulsion tech, and dual-use software exports.

5. India Defence and Security

5.1. India’s Defence Spending (FY2015-25) India's defence budget has demonstrated steady, if incremental, year-on-year growth over the past decade, reflecting both inflationary adjustments and a broader shift toward modernisation, strategic deterrence, and indigenisation. In FY2015, defence spending stood at USD 58.9 billion, and by FY2025 it had risen to USD 92.05 billion, marking a 4.6% CAGR over the ten-year period.

Source: Frost & Sullivan While annual growth rates have ranged between 2.5% and 8%, key inflection points include:  Structural Budget Uplift Post-FY2016:Between FY2016 and FY2018, India’s annual defence allocations increased sharply, supported by revised fiscal frameworks and heightened regional threat perception following the CY2016 Uri attack and CY2017 Doklam standoff. Spending rose from USD 64.9 billion in FY2016 to USD 69.5 billion in FY2018, at a CAGR of 3.5%, marking the most rapid two-year increase since

2010.

180 snoilliB $SU Plateau During COVID-19 and Post-Balakot Readjustment (FY2019–FY2021): Despite the CY2019 Balakot airstrikes and China’s growing assertiveness in Ladakh, India’s defence budget growth decelerated between FY2019 and FY2021, largely due to fiscal tightening amid the COVID-19 pandemic and slower capital outlay disbursements. Spending stabilized between USD 77.0 billion and USD 77.4 billion, with a slight decline marginal real-term decline when adjusted for inflation.

 Capital Reinvestment Phase: FY2022–FY2025: From FY2022 onward, India resumed steady budgetary growth, climbing from USD 80.3 billion in FY2022 to USD 92.05 billion in FY2025. This upward trajectory was accelerated by the CY2020 Galwan Valley clash with China, prompting new capital allocations toward border infrastructure, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities, and high-altitude readiness, and further reinforced by Operation Sindoor in CY2025, which triggered emergency procurement across surveillance, precision strike, and air defence domains. Capital spending as a share of the defence budget crossed 30%, reflecting India's long-term commitment to modernising platforms and procurement frameworks.

5.2. India’s Defence Spending (FY2026-30) India’s defence spending is projected to increase steadily from USD 96.0 billion in FY2026 to USD 113.6 billion by FY2030, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3% over the forecast period. For FY2025– 26, the Ministry of Defence has allocated ₹6,81,210.27 crore (≈ USD 78.9 billion) to defence, of which ₹1,92,388 crore (≈USD 22.3 billion) is earmarked as capital outlay. This represents a continuation of India’s gradual but deliberate pivot toward capability-building and modernization.

Source: Frost & Sullivan India’s defence capital expenditure has shown steady strengthening as the government prioritises long-term modernisation and indigenisation. The capital outlay has stabilised at a healthy 28–30% share of total defence spending, with sustained year-on-year increases from FY2022 to FY2025. The FY2025 and projected FY2026 budgets continue this positive momentum, allocating larger capital resources for aircraft, naval platforms, advanced sensors, and joint-service modernisation programs. This upward trend reflects India’s commitment to accelerating capability upgrades, supporting domestic manufacturing under “Atmanirbhar Bharat,” and ensuring that capital spending remains a core pillar of its defence investment strategy.

5.3. India’s Defence Budgets & Expenditure across the Indian Army, Navy, & Airforce (FY2026-FY2027) India’s defence expenditure in FY2026-27 reflects an accelerated modernisation thrust, shaped by the operational lessons of Operation Sindoor and the structural imperative to close capability gaps across all three services. The record ₹7.85 lakh crore allocation —a 15.2% increase over the prior year —underscores a decisive shift in fiscal priorities toward capital investment and indigenous procurement.

5.3.1. Service-wise Revenue and Capital Allocation (FY2026-FY2027) In FY2026-27, the Indian Army continues to absorb the largest share of the defence services budget:  Army Revenue Expenditure: USD 44.74 billion, reflecting the Army's expansive personnel base and widespread territorial responsibilities. The Pay and Allowances share has declined from 61.3% in FY2022- 23 to 52.9% in FY2026-27, a structural shift attributable to the Agnipath scheme.

 Navy Revenue Expenditure: USD 6.9 billion, with the Navy's share rising to 17% of the defence services budget — up from 15% in FY2018-19 — reflecting heightened maritime threat perceptions and India's growing blue-water ambitions.

 Air Force Revenue Expenditure:USD 9.1 billion, with a 31% surge in aircraft and aero engine allocations reflecting the centrality of air power validated by Operation Sindoor.  Capital Outlay (Tri-services):USD 22.6 billion, a 21.8% increase over FY2025-26, with 75% of the capital acquisition budget reserved for domestic procurement.

 Other Expenditures(including Joint Commands, DRDO, etc.): Defence pensions at USD 19.7 billion and DRDO at USD 3.2 billion, supporting long-term R&D and veteran welfare commitments.

This breakdown highlights the continued dominance of the Army in expenditure allocation, a rising Navy share consistent with India's maritime strategy, and the most significant capital investment surge in recent years driven by both modernisation imperatives and post-Operation Sindoor procurement requirements. For FY 2026–27, the budgetary allocation under capital head to the Defence Forces is over ₹2.19 lakh Crore, which is 21.84% more than Budget Estimates of FY 2025-26. Out of ₹2.19 lakh crore, ₹1.85 lakh crore has been earmarked for capital acquisition, representing an increase of approximately 24% over FY 2025–26.

5.3.3. Budgetary Allocation for the Indian Army The Indian Army continues to command the largest share of the defence budget in absolute terms—approximately USD 49.43 billion in FY2027 . However, nearly 90% of this outlay is absorbed by revenue expenditure, primarily salaries and pensions, leaving limited fiscal headroom for modernization. Excluding defence pensions, the revised estimates of Indian Army’s budget amounts to approximately USD 32.3 billion in FY2027.

 Capital expenditure accounts for just 10% of the Army’s budget, despite urgent recapitalization needs.  Army’s modernization share has shrunk to 20% of the total defence modernization budget, down from earlier benchmarks.

 Only 15% of Army equipment is classified as modern, far below the 30% target outlined in force transformation objectives FY2024-25.

5.4. Growth Drivers of India’s Defence Spending India’s defence spending trajectory is underpinned by both enduring geopolitical challenges and structural policy reforms aimed at fostering industrial autonomy, operational modernization, and global positioning. The following key growth drivers outline the foundational pillars influencing future expenditure.

5.4.1. Indian Defence Modernization Programs India’s ongoing modernization drive, centered around capability overhaul and doctrinal shift, is a primary catalyst for increased capital spending. The transformation spans across domains:

 Combat platform renewal:Replacement of legacy tanks (T-72), ICVs (BMP-1/2), aging fighter squadrons (Mig-21, Jaguar, Mirage 2000), and naval surface assets.  Emerging domains: Investment in cyber warfare, space-based Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), integrated command systems, and multi-domain operations.

 Force restructuring: The move toward Theatre Commands and Integrated Battle Groups (IBGs) aims to streamline jointness and elevate operational readiness across regions.

5.4.2. Atmanirbhar Bharat: Prioritizing Domestic Production The government’s flagship Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India) vision has triggered a structural reorientation of India’s defence procurement strategy. Defence is now treated as a strategic industrial sector, with policies

designed to:  Mandate domestic value addition in procurement 185 Elevate Indian firms from build-to-print vendors to design-own-integrate producers  Incentivize public-private partnerships, especially in electronics, optics, loitering munitions, and AI-enabled systems Capital allocations are increasingly skewed toward indigenous suppliers, with the Ministry of Defence earmarking 75% of the capital acquisition budget (INR 1.39 lakh crore) for domestic procurement in FY2026–27.

5.4.3. Government Initiatives to Promote Defence Production India’s defence industrial push is anchored in reforms, funding support, and policies that drive self-reliance, innovation, and private sector participation.

A landmark step was the creation of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) and the Department of Military Affairs

(DMA) in FY2019, streamlining coordination and accelerating indigenization. The DMA has since issued five positive indigenisation lists covering 500+ items, including missiles, aircraft, helicopters, ships, and advanced munitions, ensuring future procurement is domestically sourced.

5.4.3.1. Revised Procurement Priorities under DAP FY2020 The Defence Acquisition Procedure (DAP) has restructured acquisition categories to elevate Indian firms as system integrators, while progressively restricting foreign OEMs to roles of equity partners, tech providers, or subcontractors.

Key features include:  Indigenous Content (IC) Mandates: The top four procurement categories—Buy (Indian-IDDM), Buy

(Indian), Buy and Make (Indian), and Buy (Global – Manufacture in India)—now carry minimum IC thresholds of 50–60%, with the Buy (IDDM) category requiring Indian design ownership and at least 30% indigenous content.

 FDI-Linked Execution Rights: Foreign ownership under automatic approval is capped at 49% for IDDM and up to 74% for other categories, ensuring Indian strategic control while permitting technology access.

5.4.3.2. Make & Innovation Schemes India has consolidated its industry-led prototyping and R&D initiatives into three pathways under the ‘Make’

umbrella:

Table 2: Make and Innovation Categories Category Features FDI Cap Make-I 70% govt-funded R&D, capped at INR 2.5B per agency 49% Make-II Self-funded prototypes for IC-based procurement 49% Make-III Import substitution for in-service equipment 74%

5.4.3.3. Offsets Reimagined India’s Offset Policy 2.0, embedded in DAP 2020, moves away from basic component offsets toward long-term tech transfer and platform-centric industrial participation:  Offset banking has been eliminated to reduce transactional arbitrage; obligations must now directly link to program execution.

 Offsets can now be discharged via investment in Indian R&D, export facilitation, and dual-use tech transfer (e.g., hypersonics, DEWs).  Major deals like the Rafale offset program (INR 59,000 crore contract with ~50% offset) now serve as templates for future joint production mandates.

5.4.3.4. Industrial Enablers and Infrastructure  Defence Industrial Corridors (UP and TN): Anchor clusters to co-locate manufacturing, testing, and 186logistics with investor incentives and land grants.

 SPMs (Special Purpose Mechanisms):Enable fast-track procurement for critical needs via G2G or industry- specific pathways.  Defence Investor Cell:Single-window clearance and grievance redressal for private and foreign investors.

 Liberalized FDI Norms:Since FY2014, FDI caps have been progressively relaxed from 26% to 49% under the automatic route, and to 74% for new licence-holders. Actual defence sector FDI inflows remain modest at USD 26.5 million over the 25-year period to September 2025, reflectingimplementation challenges. India is now considering raising the automatic route limit to 74% for existing licence-holders –a move expected to unlock meaningful foreign investment in domestic defence manufacturing.

5.4.3.5. Regulatory Tailwinds for Domestic Manufacturing The MOD is actively pushing for localization in DPSU supply chains and expanding private access to government- run testing facilities. In parallel, procurement regulations now favor:

 Indigenous design ownership and minimum Indian content thresholds  Lifecycle support from Indian vendors for imported systems  Tier-2 and Tier-3 private vendor development via partnering contracts and risk-sharing mechanisms

5.4.3.6. Reducing Import Dependence and Promoting Exports India’s twin focus on import substitution and export promotion has accelerated post-FY2020, driven by both

strategic vulnerabilities and global opportunity:  Negative Import Lists: Over 100 items across artillery, UAVs, sensors, and munitions are not embargoed for foreign purchase.  Positive Indigenization Lists: Provides long-term visibility to industry on future procurement priorities. The Department of Military Affairs (DMA) has released five positive indgenisation lists of over 500 items, which will be manufactured within India.

 Export growth:India's defence exports crossed INR 38,424 crore (~USD 4.1 billion) in FY2025–26, a 19x increase over a decade and has exported defence equipment to over 100 countries, with the USA, France, and Armenia emerging as the top buyers. Recent flagship export deals include:

o BrahMos supersonic cruise missile system sold to the Philippines in a USD 375 million contract, the first major export of an Indian strategic weapon system, followed by a USD 440 million BrahMos deal with Indonesia in February 2025, the second major exportof the platform.

o ALH Dhruv helicopters and offshore patrol vessels delivered to Mauritius, Maldives, and Seychelles. o The Dornier 228 light transport aircraft and Chetak helicopters, exported to countries across Southeast Asia and Africa, strengthening India’s presence in non-traditional defence markets.

o Radar systems and naval components exported to Armenia, Myanmar, and several Southeast Asian and African partners. o In CY2014, India’s shipyards – GRSE and Goa Shipyard – exported an Offshore Patrol Vessel (CGS Barracuda) to Mauritius. In February CY2025, GRSE secured a new contract for the ship's refit, which includes routine overhaul, services, and critical component replacement.

o India's Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL) won a contract with the Moroccan government to produce and deliver the Wheeled Armoured Platform (WhAP) 8x8 to the Royal Moroccan Army in FY2024. o India and the EU signed a Security and Defence Partnership on January 27, 2026, opening structured cooperation on defence exports, joint development, and industrial collaboration with EU member states.

187Key export focus areas include:  Loitering munitions and counter-drone systems  Electro-optic payloads and radars  Naval platforms and maintenance services  Simulator, C4Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), and drone subsystems India’s aim to become a net defence exporter by the early FY2030s is supported by G2G frameworks, line-of- credit-based sales, and policy backing via DGDE and Indian Defence Attachés abroad.

5.4.4. Strategic Military Developments –China, Pakistan, and Beyond

Regional security dynamics remain the most acute and persistent driver of defence spending:

China Factor:  Continued standoff across the Line of Actual Control (LAC) despite disengagement agreements.  China’s naval expansion in the Indian Ocean Region and dual-use port investments in Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and East Africa.

 Military infrastructure race in the Himalayas, forcing India to expand dual-use tunnels, airstrips, and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) coverage.  China-Pakistan military alignment, including joint exercises, weapons transfers, and UAV cooperation.

India–Pakistan Flashpoints:  Although cross-LoC exchanges have reduced post-FY2021 ceasefire reaffirmation, Pakistan remains a conventional and sub-conventional threat vector.  Emphasis on counter-terror operations, airbase defence, and border surveillance continues.

Other developments:  Instability in Bangladesh and Myanmar adds complexity to India’s eastern flank.  Rising Indo-Pacific cooperation (e.g., QUAD, Indo-French naval ties) compels increased maritime and aerospace investment.

5.5. India’s Defence Exports and Imports In India's defence trade profile has undergone a significant transformation over the last decade, reflecting the dual priorities of import substitution and export growth as part of the broader national ambition for defence self- reliance.

Source: SIPRI Arms Transfer Database 188 snoilliM $SU5.5.1. Defence Import Trends India's defence imports, long among the highest globally, declined from a peak of USD 3,958 million in FY2021 to USD 1,540 million in FY2023, before recovering to USD 2,863 million in FY2025 —a 0.47% CAGR over the decade, reflecting structural volatility rather than sustained decline. This trend underscores several key structural

and policy shifts:  Local Indigenisation and Procurement Reforms: Through schemes such as Buy (Indian-IDDM), the Defence Acquisition Procedure (DAP) has deprioritised direct imports in favour of domestic system integration.

 Export Control Streamlining and Dual-Use Substitution: Many formerly imported dual-use systems are now sourced domestically via innovation programs like iDEX and DRDO's Technology Development Fund

(TDF).  Geopolitical Risk Mitigation: Heightened operational tempo following Operation Sindoor and the broader Middle East conflict has driven renewed emergency procurement, contributing to the import rebound seen in FY2024-25, even as India continues to reduce structural dependency on legacy Russian platforms.

5.5.2. Defence Export Surge and Strategic Reorientation India's defence exports have witnessed exceptional growth over the last decade —a 59.3% CAGR —rising from USD 42 million in FY2015 to USD 4,416 million in FY2025, with the private sector now outpacing DPSUs in export value. Key enablers include:

 Policy Reforms: Relaxation of licensing, the establishment of the Defence Export Authorisation System, and reorientation of the offset policy (DAP 2020) to emphasise technology and platform-level exports.

 Private Sector Leadership: Firms such as Paras Defence, Bharat Forge, Larsen & Toubro, and Tonbo Imaging have emerged as leading exporters, particularly in electro-optics, armored systems, missile subsystems, and marine platforms.

 Strategic Export Targets: The GoI aims to achieve USD 5.9 billion (₹50,000 crore) in annual exports by FY2029-30, as part of a broader USD 35 billion (₹3 lakh crore) defence production target.

5.5.3. Export Destinations and Deal Highlights The target countries for exports include South Africa, Thailand, Azerbaijan, Singapore, Sweden, Seychelles, Indonesia, Estonia, the Philippines, Guinea, Lebanon, Qatar, Iraq, Uruguay, Ecuador, Japan, Egypt, the United States, Finland, Australia, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Israel.

1895.6. Indian Defence Industry Policy and Regulation Updates Since FY2020, India’s defence sector has undergone major policy overhauls aimed at indigenisation, procurement reform, and private/foreign investment. These changes mark a decisive break from legacy frameworks and are reshaping the industry landscape.

Defence Acquisition Procedure (DAP) 2020: Introduced in October FY2020, DAP streamlined capital acquisitions, prioritised Buy Indian (IDDM), and introduced the “Buy (Global–Manufacture in India)” category to attract foreign OEMs to set up local production. Simplified “Make” provisions encourage domestic R&D, while offsets were removed for government-to-government and single-vendor deals to expedite urgent procurement. Early results include large-scale contracts such as the Army’s INR 7,000 crore ATAGS order under the Buy Indian–IDDM route.

6.2. Contribution of Defence Electronics in the Overall Defence Equipment Industry Defence electronics has steadily increased its share of the total cost composition of defence platforms over the past decade, a trend that is set to accelerate through CY2030. Across most modern military systems —surface combatants, combat aircraft, unmanned systems and ground vehicles —electronics now account for 30% to 60% of total platform costs, as militaries globally pivot toward connected, digital, and autonomous warfare.

Table 10: Electronics Share in Combat, Support, and Strategic Platforms Platform Type Electronics Share Key Electronic Systems, & Subsystems (% of Total System Cost) Combat Aircraft 40-50% Avionics suites, EW (Electronic Warfare) systems, radar, secure datalinks, sensor fusion for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) & targeting Combat Vehicles (BMTs, 35-60% Digitized fire-control systems, Battlefield Management Systems APCs, Recon Vehicles) (BMS), active protection systems, Electro-Optical/Infrared surveillance payloads Surface Combatants & 30-50% Navigation systems, sonar, EW, secure communications, integrated Submarines combat management systems, radar/weapon control suites, EMP hardening Support Vessels (Landing 30-36% Radar, communication relays, missile defence systems, C2 Ships, Logistics Platforms) (Command & Control) infrastructure Missile Systems & UAS Up to 60% Advanced seeker heads, navigation systems, secure datalinks, Platforms onboard computing for guidance & control Radars, EW Pods, ~100% Fully electronic systems including radar transmit/receive modules, Communication Nodes EW jammers, secure communication nodes, signal processing units

Source: Frost & Sullivan This rising electronic content is fundamentally reshaping procurement strategies. Rather than focusing solely on hulls, airframes, or mobility systems, modern militaries are prioritizing electronic performance, interoperability, and survivability in contested environments. As a result:

Defence electronics is growing faster than the overall defence equipment market, with its share of total defence spending expected to climb from ~25% in CY2020 to over 35% by CY2030.

This shift is even more pronounced in programs involving Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), integrated air defence, multi-domain command and control, and autonomous systems, where electronics dominate both cost and capability envelopes.

A growing global trend in modern battlefield digitisation is the adoption of ATAK as a de-facto standard for connected soldier systems and real-time information sharing. ATAK is a global standard for connected systems on the battlefield and information sharing. It provides better situational awareness by assimilating information from sights, handheld imagers and drone imagery.

6.3. Value Chain of Defence Electronics The defence electronics industry underpins modern military capability by enabling sensing, decision support, communication, and engagement. These functions span Observation, Understanding, Communication, and Offensive systems, which together form the backbone of network-centric warfare. Electronics now account for a growing share of equipment value as militaries modernize aircraft, missiles, radars, and communication suites.

1966.3.1. Observation Provides situational awareness across land, air, sea, and space through Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) platforms: Electro-Optical/Infrared sensors, radars, sonar, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

(UAVs), Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS), and satellites.

Space-based sensors and persistent drones are expanding coverage; example: Joint STARS radar aircraft tracking mobile ground units.

Conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza underscore rising demand for persistent Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) and drone-based surveillance as early-warning and targeting tools.

7. Electro-Optical/Infrared Industry

7.1. Defining Electro-Optical/Infrared Systems and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Applications

7.1.1. Definition and Components Electro-Optical/Infrared (Electro-Optical/Infrared) systems are advanced sensor suites that combine optical cameras and infrared imagers to detect, track, and identify targets across multiple wavelengths. They integrate:

 Electro-Optical (EO) sensors –capture visible-light imagery with high spatial resolution.  Infrared (IR) sensors –detect thermal emissions for night vision or visibility through like smoke, fog, or haze.

202Figure 30: Sniper equipped with Thermal Sights & Night Figure 31: A T-90 equipped with "Shtora-1" Electro- Vision Optical/Infrared system

7.1.2. Key Features  Long-range imaging optics for stand-off surveillance.  Gyro-stabilization to ensure steady, clear images from moving platforms.  Multi-spectral coverage enabling detection and identification in varied operational environments.

 Passive operation that detects reflected light or emitted heat without revealing the observer’s position.

7.1.3. Role in the Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Decision Cycle Electro-Optical/Infrared imagery (e.g., high-resolution daylight photos or thermal infrared video) feeds directly into the Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) loop, where it can be fused with other intelligence streams for threat identification and command decision-making.

7.1.4. Civil and Dual-Use Applications Beyond defence, Electro-Optical/Infrared systems support environmental monitoring, disaster response, and humanitarian operation, such as wildfire tracking, oil spill monitoring, and multi-spectral weather observation from satellites.

7.2. Evolution of Electro-Optical/Infrared Systems: Global and Indian Evolution

7.2.1. Global Evolution

7.2.1.1. CY1940s–1960s: Early Electro-Optical/Infrared Experiments (First Generation) Electro-optical and infrared sensing began with experimental night-vision scopes and rudimentary heat detectors during World War II, enabling limited visibility in darkness. By the Vietnam War, the first Forward-Looking Infrared (FLIR) units emerged, using rotating optomechanical scanners and cryogenically cooled detectors to produce thermal images for pilots. These early systems were bulky, low-resolution, and deployed only on high- value platforms like reconnaissance aircraft.

7.2.1.2. CY1970s–1980s: Breakthroughs and Standardization (First to Second Generation) The invention of solid-state focal plane arrays (FPAs) allowed “staring” thermal imagers without moving parts, improving reliability and image quality. The U.S. introduced Common Module FLIR programs, standardizing sensors for multiple platforms. Advances in microelectronics enabled on-board signal processing. Operationally, these systems played pivotal roles in NATO Cold War surveillance and Middle East conflicts, giving commanders the first credible all-weather, night targeting capability.

7.2.1.3. CY1990s–2000s: Multi-Sensor Integration and Battlefield Impact (Second Generation) This era saw the debut of gyro-stabilized Electro-Optical/Infrared gimbals (e.g., FLIR SAFIRE series), integrating daylight TV, FLIR, and laser rangefinders/designators into one unit. Gulf War I (1991) demonstrated their value, with FLIR-equipped aircraft and tanks detecting camouflaged Iraqi forces at night and through smoke. The CY2000s brought uncooled microbolometer IR cameras (Vanadium Oxide, an amorphous silicon detectors), 203enabling mass deployment for infantry, vehicles, and UAVs. Meanwhile, cooled mid-wave and long-wave IR sensors improved range for high-end platforms.

7.2.1.4. CY2010–Present: High-Definition, AI Integration, and Miniaturization (Third Generation) Modern Electro-Optical/Infrared systems now feature high-definition digital sensors, multi-spectral imaging, and networked video streaming.

7.6. Impact ofAI, Edge Computing, and Quantum Imaging on Future Growth The Electro-Optical/Infrared industry is undergoing a structural shift as AI, edge computing, and quantum imaging redefine the design, deployment, and operational utility of imaging systems. These technologies are not incremental add-ons; they are force multipliers that transform Electro-Optical/Infrared from passive sensors into autonomous, intelligent surveillance and targeting ecosystems.

7.6.1. Artificial Intelligence AI is revolutionizing Electro-Optical/Infrared by embedding autonomy, automation, and analytical depth into sensors. Defence primes and niche firms alike are integrating deep learning models (CNNs, transformers, GANs)

to enable:  Automatic Target Recognition (ATR): Neural networks trained on Electro-Optical/Infrared data rapidly classify and track targets (e.g., UAVs, vehicles, personnel), even in low-contrast or cluttered environments.

This significantly reduces operator workload and compresses the sensor-to-shooter cycle.  Anomaly & Intent Detection: AI baselines “normal” patterns in Electro-Optical/Infrared feeds and autonomously flags deviations, such as concealed vehicles or irregular troop movement, supporting predictive threat recognition.

 Multispectral Fusion:AI-enabled fusion integrates EO, IR, and multispectral bands into coherent outputs, cutting through fog, smoke, or camo to deliver clear situational awareness.  Semantic Scene Understanding: Advanced AI parses every pixel to generate semantic maps, enabling mission-specific insights (e.g., auto-classifying ambush positions in urban terrain).

Operationally, AI is shifting control from human-in-the-loop to human-on-the-loop paradigms, where the machine performs data fusion and prioritization while commanders focus on confirmation and escalation. Frost & Sullivan estimates 40–45% of defence Electro-Optical/Infrared contracts by CY2030 will embed AI, compared to ~30% in 2024, making AI integration a baseline requirement rather than a differentiator.

Example: Israel’s Rafael integrates ATR and semantic mapping into its targeting pods, while India’s Tonbo Imaging co-develops AI-enabled missile seekers with Bharat Dynamics Ltd. to autonomously identify weak points on armored vehicles mid-flight.

7.6.2. Edge Computing and Distributed Systems 213Edge processing is moving Electro-Optical/Infrared from passive collection to real-time decision-making nodes.

By processing data at the sensor, systems reduce bandwidth requirements, avoid latency, and remain functional in GPS-denied or communication-contested environments.  Embedded AI/SoC Hardware: Rugged low-power GPUs, ASICs, and FPGAs enable Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) drones, soldier-borne optics, and loitering munitions to autonomously classify and prioritize threats at the point of capture.

 Resilience in Contested Environments: Edge-enabled Electro-Optical/Infrared maintains Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) continuity even under EW, cyber disruption, or comms degradation.

 Distributed Mesh Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR): Low-SWaP Electro-Optical/Infrared nodes connected in self-healing optical/radio networks allow persistent coverage, redundancy, and graceful degradation under attrition.

Example:The U.S. Army’s IVAS program embeds edge AI in soldier helmets for real-time threat alerts; Tonbo Imaging’s IIR seeker with BDL uses onboard AI and edge processors to adjust missile trajectories dynamically.

By CY2030, >35% of defence Electro-Optical/Infrared platforms are expected to feature embedded edge processors, compared to <15% in 2024. This will make edge autonomy a baseline design parameter for future Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) and targeting systems.

7.6.3. Quantum Imaging Quantum imaging uses special photon properties and highly sensitive detectors to see in situations where traditional cameras fail. This includes seeing through smoke or darkness, detecting targets at long distances, and resisting jamming in ISR missions.

Quantum imaging remains at an early stage but has transformational potential for Electro-Optical/Infrared.

Leveraging entanglement, single-photon detection, and quantum state manipulation, it promises imaging beyond

classical limits:  Ghost Imaging: Entangled photon pairs allow imaging even when only one beam interacts with the target, enabling vision in near-total darkness or through obscurants (fog, smoke, camouflage).

 SPAD Arrays: Detect extremely faint or long-range returns, enhancing Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) for covert surveillance and long-distance missile tracking.  Spectral Upconversion: Transfers data from hard-to-detect IR bands to visible wavelengths, improving detectability of stealth platforms and camouflaged equipment.

Strategic Applications:  Covert Ops: Near-zero illumination imaging for clandestine Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance

(ISR).  Counter-Stealth: Detecting low-RCS aircraft or hypersonic vehicles by exploiting non-classical photon behavior.  Resilient Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR): Immune to conventional jamming/spoofing due to quantum correlation principles.

7.7. Threatsand Challenges

7.7.1. Global Market Challenges Despite the optimistic growth forecasts for Electro-Optical/Infrared systems, the industry faces several challenges globally.

Technical Challenges  SWaP vs. Performance Trade-offs – Higher resolution/range increases size, weight, and cost (SWaP), conflicting with demand for compact, low-SWaP solutions.

214 Ruggedization Costs –Military-grade reliability for extreme environments (temperature, vibration, shock) adds complexity and expense.  Specialized Manufacturing –Thermal detectors, optical coatings, and gimbal assemblies require precision fabrication; defects cause delays and cost overruns.

 Integration Complexity –Multi-sensor, AI-enabled Electro-Optical/Infrared must integrate seamlessly with platforms, mission computers, and network architectures.

Business & Competitive Risks  High Entry Barriers –New entrants face high R&D costs, long product qualification cycles, and stringent defence certifications.  Market Concentration – Dominated by large OEMs; smaller firms struggle to compete without niche specialization or partnerships.

 Supply Chain Vulnerabilities – Dependence on limited-country suppliers; geopolitical tensions or export controls (ITAR/EAR) can restrict component flow.  Dependence on Rare Earth Metals - Production of critical components for products is dependent on suppliers being able to procure raw materials, such as Germanium, Silicon and Carbon. Germanium is a scarce and expensive raw material and is subject to government licensing/export restrictions in certain geographies like China. Raw materials like Germanium and rare earth elements used in infrared optics are mined in only a few countries, such as China and Russia and face increasing scarcity and price volatility affecting the supply chain.

Operational Threats  Countermeasures Evolution – Adversaries invest in camouflage, thermal masking, laser dazzlers, and decoys, forcing constant innovation.  Budget Volatility – Defence Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) budgets can be cut or delayed due to economic downturns or shifting priorities.

 ROI Pressure –Programs increasingly require clear mission-impact justification for funding approval.

7.7.2. India-Specific Challenges In India, the Electro-Optical/Infrared sector faces a unique set of challenges as it works to build indigenous capacity and reduce reliance on imports.

Dependency & Supply Risks  High Import Dependence – Core technologies (InSb/MCT detectors, thermal camera cores, gimbals) still sourced from abroad, exposing India to supply delays, restrictions, and technology denial.

 Hybrid Sourcing Model – Indigenous capability still maturing; interim reliance on imports for critical components.

Procurement & Policy Barriers  Bureaucratic Procurement Cycles –Long timelines and procedural inertia historically favored foreign OEMs over domestic innovators.  Policy Execution Gaps –“Make in India” and DAP 2020 provide preferential policies, but contract awards and upgrade continuity remain inconsistent.

Funding & Market Size Constraints  Capital-Intensive R&D –Detector fabs, cooled IR tech, and space-based sensors require sustained funding; private firms face capital access issues.

215 Scale Limitations – Domestic market smaller than global peers, making exports necessary but highly competitive.

Industrial Base & Skills Gap  Specialized Manufacturing Deficit – Gaps in precision optics, vacuum semiconductor processing, cryocoolers, and quality control capabilities.  Testing Infrastructure Shortfall – Limited calibrated ranges and environmental test facilities for Electro- Optical/Infrared certification.

Operational & Environmental Factors  Ruggedization Needs – Systems must withstand India’s heat, dust, and humidity without performance degradation.

8. Precision Weapon Guiding Systems (PWGS)

8.1. Defining PWGSSystems Precision Weapon Guiding Systems (PWGS) enable munitions to achieve meter-level accuracy by integrating advanced sensors, processors, and control mechanisms. Used across air, land, and naval platforms, they combine

multiple guidance methods to ensure resilience in contested environments:  Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) – Gyroscopes/accelerometers track position; immune to jamming but prone to drift, typically paired with GNSS for correction.

 Satellite Navigation (GPS/GLONASS/NavIC) – Provides global coordinate fixes; vulnerable to jamming/spoofing, mitigated by anti-jam modules.  Laser Guidance –Semi-active laser homing for pinpoint accuracy; weather/LOS dependent.

 Radar Homing –Active or passive modes, including mmW radar for all-weather targeting.  Imaging Infrared (IIR) & Electro-Optical (EO) Seekers –Visual/thermal lock-on with “fire-and-forget” capability; increasingly integrated with ATR algorithms.

Modern PWGS trends include sensor fusion (e.g., INS+GNSS+IIR), AI-enhanced ATR, and compact, modular seeker designs for cross-platform integration. These technologies underpin the shift toward precision-centric warfare, reducing collateral damage and improving cost-per-kill efficiency.

8.2. Market Sizing of PWGS The PWGS market sits at the center of modern warfare transformation. Conflicts such as the Russia–Ukraine war and rising A2/AD threats have underscored the value of precision-guided weapons, from laser-guided bombs and GPS-enabled artillery shells to loitering munitions. Defence ministries now prioritize precision in procurement, integrating PWGS into both legacy and next-gen platforms.

The global market is forecast to grow from USD 9.47 billion in CY2020 to USD 23.38 billion by CY2030 (CAGR

9.5%). Growth is expected to accelerate through 2028, supported by expanded procurement programs, indigenous capability development, and AI-enabled targeting.

Key drivers across all markets include:

Increasing shift from unguided to smart munitions for cost-effective, low-collateral operations High investments in PGMs such as smart bombs, air-to-ground missiles, loitering munitions, and artillery-guided projectiles – e.g., U.S. GBU-53/B StormBreaker and JDAM series, India’s SAAW (Smart Anti-Airfield Weapon), Israel’s Spike NLOS missile, and Turkey’s MAM-L smart munition for UAVs.

The EU’s Tempest programs emphasize AI-integrated PGMs and collaborative munitions.

Growth in demand for indigenous Electro-Optical/Infrared and radar seekers for cruise missiles, glide bombs, and loitering drones.

8.2.2. India India’s PWGS market is forecast to surge from USD 348 million in CY2020 to USD 2.07 billion in CY2030, translating to a CAGR of 19.5%.

This expansion is fueled by growing investments in indigenous smart weapons, especially under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative, which mandates increasing localization of guidance systems.

Key drivers include:

DRDO has accelerated development of Electro-Optical/Infrared and millimetric-wave seekers for BrahMos (supersonic cruise missile), HELINA (Nag-based helicopter-launched ATGM), SANT (stand-off anti-tank missile), and Astra Mk-II BVRAAM, alongside integration trials on Tejas and Su-30MKI platforms.

Indian industry is increasingly participating in the development of guidance kits for converting gravity bombs into smart munitions (e.g. the Gaurav and Sudarshan laser-guidance kits).

Growing exports to Southeast Asia and Africa for seeker-enabled systems (e.g. Pinaka rockets with guidance, BrahMos variants) India's Defence Acquisition Council cleared roughly two billion dollars of additional BrahMos cruise missile regiments for the army in March 2025. The country has also approved production of around 250 units of its Pralay tactical ballistic missile.

8.2.3. Growth Markets (Philippines, Indonesia, Nigeria, Morocco) PWGS demand in Growth Markets is expected to increase from USD 55.1 million in CY2020 to USD 907.0 million by CY2030, posting a robust CAGR of 33.4%—the highest among all regions analyzed.

Key drivers include:

Philippines and Indonesia are investing in air-launched and ship-launched guided weapons to assert maritime sovereignty amid South China Sea tensions. Indonesia and the Philippines are both building out coastal defence batteries armed with India's BrahMos missile. The Philippines has two of three contracted batteries in place, while Indonesia has finalized its own agreement Nigeria and Morocco are acquiring precision-capable systems for counterinsurgency, border management, and deterrence, often through offset-linked defence deals with Israel, Turkey, or India.

These markets are largely dependent on imports, but have begun exploring regional co-development and technology-transfer-based production (e.g., joint ventures in ship-launched missile systems and guided UAV munitions)

8.3. Platform& Munitions-Based PWGS Market Sizing (Global)

8.3.1. Platform-based PWGS Platform-based PWGS are the guidance/targeting elements mounted on vehicles, aircraft, ships, and air-defence platforms—e.g., Electro-Optical/Infrared turrets, laser designators, rangefinders, fire-control computers, navigation/INS, and weapon-cueing/software. They generate tracks, designate targets, and close the fire-control loop for any weapon the platform carries.

Source: Frost & Sullivan In CY2020, air-launched systems dominated the platform-based segment with ~67.4% share, a position projected to dip to ~53.5% by CY2030. This sustained lead reflects the premium value of air-delivered PGMs—cruise missiles, stand-off glide bombs, and guidedrockets—integrated on manned fighters, UAVs, and next-gen air platforms. Demand is reinforced by fleet upgrades (e.g., F-35, Rafale, Su-30MKI), expansion of armed UAV inventories, and the shift toward long-range precision strike in contested A2/AD environments.

Land-based systems accounted for ~21.0% in CY2020, climbing to ~40.4% by CY2030, the fastest proportional growth among platforms. Growth drivers include the surge in surface to air (SAM) air defence systems, guided artillery and rocket systems, ATGM modernizations, and precision strike missile programs in Europe, India, and select growth markets.

Naval-launched systems represented ~11.1% in CY2020, moderating to ~7.3% by CY2030, with demand tied to anti-ship missiles, VLS-fired cruise missiles, and precision naval gun munitions linked to fleet recapitalization cycles.

8.3.2. Munitions-based PWGS Munitions-based PWGS are guidance and control electronics inside the weapon itself—e.g., IR/RF/laser/mmW seekers, GPS/INS kits (JDAM-class), actuators, fuzes, and datalinks—turning bombs/rockets/missiles into precision-guided munitions.

9. Directed Energy Systems (DES)

9.1. Defining DES Systems Directed Energy Systems are weapons that emit highly focused energy to damage or destroy targets, as opposed to using physical projectiles. In essence, a directed-energy weapon (DEW) delivers a beam of concentrated electromagnetic radiation or subatomic particles at a target to cause effects ranging from sensor blinding and electronics disruption to structural burn-through. The main types of DEWs include High-Energy Lasers (HEL), High-Power Microwaves (HPM), and, to a lesser extent, particle beam weapons. Each operates on different parts of the spectrum, but all travel at or near the speed of light, enabling almost instantaneous engagement of targets.

 High-Energy Lasers (HEL): Precision burn-through for drones, missiles, small boats; limited by weather/atmosphere.  High-Power Microwaves (HPM): Area-effect disruption of electronics; ideal vs. swarms, less weather- sensitive.

 Particle Beams:Experimental; extreme destructive potential but constrained by power and complexity.

9.2. Market Sizing of DES The Directed Energy Systems (DES) market focused on Counter-UAS applications, especially High Power Microwave (HPM) systems, is undergoing an exponential growth phase as militaries worldwide seek cost- effective, scalable responses to the rising drone threat. The global DES market is expected to grow from USD 684 million in CY2025 to USD 4.4 billion by CY2030, at a CAGR of 45.1%. This makes it one of the fastest-growing subsegments in the broader defence electronics domain.

Figure 43: Design Image of Directed Energy Systems in Development

The steep growth is attributed to:

The proliferation of low-cost drones and drone swarms in asymmetric warfare and grey-zone conflict.

Inefficiencies of using kinetic interceptors (e.g., missiles) against small aerial threats.

The U.S. Department of Defence continues to lead investments in HPM technologies with platforms like THOR, PHASER, and Leonidas being tested and fielded.

221China's demonstration of HPM prototypes (e.g., Silent Hunter) signals intense competition in the domain.

9.4. Key Growth Drivers and Potential Opportunities

9.4.1. The Asymmetric Threat and the Unfavourable Economics of Kinetic Defence Militaries are facing a severe "cost-exchange ratio" problem. Using a multi-million-dollar interceptor missile, such as a Patriot or an AMRAAM, to destroy a commercial-grade drone that may cost only a few thousand dollars is a losing strategy. Adversaries, including non-state actors like the Houthis and near-peer competitors, can leverage this asymmetry to deplete a nation's expensive and finite missile stockpiles through attrition. HPM weapons fundamentally break this economic model.

Examples of Developments:

Raytheon's PHASER: This HPM system is designed specifically for base defence. It emits a cone of microwave energy to disrupt or destroy the guidance systems of multiple drones in its field of regard simultaneously, demonstrating the area-denial capability against swarms.

Epirus's Leonidas: Utilizing solid-state Gallium Nitride (GaN) power amplifiers, Leonidas is a more compact and mobile HPM system that can be mounted on vehicles. Its ability to create a "force field" of microwave energy that can be precisely steered and scaled showcases the technology's growing sophistication and suitability for protecting mobile formations and critical infrastructure.

9.4.2. Unmatched Tactical Advantages: Speed, Scalability, and Non-Kinetic Effects Beyond cost, HPM weapons offer a suite of tactical benefits that kinetic weapons simply cannot match, making them uniquely suited to the speed and complexity of the modern battlefield.

Analysis and Rationale:

HPM systems engage targets at the speed of light, eliminating the need for complex ballistic calculations to "lead" a target. The moment a threat is identified and targeted, the effect is instantaneous. This is a critical advantage against highly agile drones or coordinated swarm attacks where multiple threats must be engaged in seconds.

Furthermore, HPM provides a scalable, non-kinetic effect. This has two key benefits:

223Area Effect for Swarms: A single HPM beam can be shaped to cover a wide area of the sky, neutralizing multiple drones in a single pulse, a task that would require numerous individual missiles.

Reduced Collateral Damage: By disabling the drone's systems rather than blowing it up, HPM reduces the risk of shrapnel and falling debris causing unintended damage on the ground. This is crucial when defending sensitive or populated areas like airports, government buildings, or urban centers.

Examples of Developments:

US Air Force's THOR (Tactical High-power Operational Responder): Developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), THOR is a containerized system designed for rapid deployment to protect airbases from drone swarms. Its primary design goal is to counter large numbers of drones with a single system.

Vehicle-Integrated Systems: Numerous countries are now focused on integrating HPM emitters onto armored vehicles, such as Strykers in the U.S. Army. This provides a mobile air defence bubble for ground troops, protecting them from loitering munitions and reconnaissance drones while on the move.

9.4.3. Technological Maturity and the Global Race for Strategic Superiority The pursuit of HPM technology is no longer theoretical; it has become a tangible and urgent global arms race. As the technology matures and proves its viability, nations are compelled to invest heavily in developing their own indigenous capabilities to avoid being left strategically vulnerable.

Analysis and Rationale:

For decades, the primary barrier to HPM was creating compact, efficient, and powerful enough systems for battlefield use. Recent breakthroughs in solid-state power amplification (e.g., GaN technology), advanced antennas, and pulsed power generation have finally overcome these hurdles, moving HPM from the laboratory to field-ready prototypes.

10. Technology Trends: Observation, Understanding, Communication, and Offensive

10.1. Emerging Trends: AI-based Imaging, Sensor Fusion, and Edge Processing The Russo-Ukrainian conflict and the Armenia–Azerbaijan standoff lessons have accelerated demand for real- time situational awareness, autonomous threat detection, and edge decision-making. Legacy sensors can no longer 224provide the speed, fidelity, or autonomy required in high-intensity, multi-domain operations.

10.1.1. Developments in AI:

AI is transforming Electro-Optical/Infrared and multispectral imaging into autonomous “intelligent surveillance” assets capable of detecting, classifying, and tracking threats in real time.

Object Detection & Tracking:Deep learning models track vehicles, drones, and personnel with high accuracy, even under low light, clutter, or occlusion.

Anomaly Detection:AI establishes baselines of normal activity and flags deviations —e.g., unexpected convoy movement or thermal spikes —critical for perimeter and urban monitoring.

Thermal & Multispectral Fusion:AI integrates EO, IR, SWIR, and multispectral feeds into clearer composite outputs, enhancing visibility in fog, smoke, or night operations.

Semantic Scene Understanding: Algorithms classify terrain and urban features down to pixel level, enabling commanders to rapidly identify threats, routes, and choke points.

Edge Processing: Onboard AI deployed on UAVs, soldier systems, and armored vehicles reduces reliance on bandwidth-heavy links and ensures decision-making in GPS-denied zones.

10.1.2. Sensor Fusion Enhancing Situational Awareness Sensor fusion integrates diverse modalities—Electro-Optical/Infrared, radar, LiDAR, sonar, acoustic—into a single operational picture. Each sensor’s strengths compensate for others’ limitations, providing all-weather, persistent Intelligence, Surveillance,and Reconnaissance (ISR).

Land:Radar + Electro-Optical/Infrared enable real-time detection in urban combat zones despite obstacles.

Air/Naval:Electro-Optical/Infrared paired with radar and acoustic sensors strengthens maritime and air defence surveillance.

Space:SAR + multispectral imaging satellites enhance persistent reconnaissance across clouded or high-latitude regions.

10.1.3. Information Advantage from Edge Processing Edge computing pushes analytics directly onto platforms—drones, armored vehicles, and soldier systems— delivering low-latency, autonomous decision support without relying on vulnerable communications.

Armored Vehicles:Fuse Electro-Optical/Infrared, radar, and LiDAR for driver assistance, active protection, and target handoff.

Dismounted Troops:Helmet displays provide real-time alerts, navigation, and targeting in denied areas.

Forward Operating Bases:Onsite edge nodes maintain command capability during comms disruption.

Search & Rescue / CBRN:Wearables detect heat signatures, chemical traces, or distress signals in hostile terrain.

10.2. Role of Imaging and Sensing in Modern Battlefield Scenarios Imaging and sensing technologies now underpin OSIR (Observation–Surveillance, Imaging, and Reconnaissance), providing unmatched situational awareness and precise targeting across domains.

EO Imaging:Provides high-resolution daylight reconnaissance for mission planning and post-strike analysis.

Infrared/Thermal Imaging:Detects personnel, vehicles, and weapons through heat signatures, critical for night and obscured conditions.

SAR:Delivers all-weather, high-resolution imaging for terrain mapping and wide-area surveillance.

Multispectral/Hyperspectral:Identifies material properties, hidden equipment, and anomalies.

225LiDAR:Produces 3D maps for navigation, obstacle avoidance, and targeting in urban/complex terrains.

10.3. Adoption of Smart Sensors in Defence, Homeland and Border Security Smart sensors combine Electro-Optical/Infrared, radar, acoustic, and environmental modalities with embedded AI and wireless networking, creating self-adaptive surveillance nodes.

Multi-Mode Sensorization:Multi-spectral detection for full-spectrum threat awareness.

Edge Processing Integration: On-device analytics enable immediate alerts, reducing reliance on central networks.

AI/ML Capabilities:Pattern recognition and anomaly detection for autonomous response.

C4Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Compatibility: Seamless integration into command systems for joint operations.

Low SWaP Designs:Lightweight, power-efficient builds suited to UAVs, soldier kits, and rugged deployments.

Applications:

Defence: Real-time Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) from UAVs, UGVs, and soldier systems.

Homeland Security:Urban surveillance, CBRN detection, and automated crowd analytics.

Border Security:Electro-Optical/Infrared towers, vibration/acoustic fence sensors, and UAV-based Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) create integrated border-defence ecosystems.

Tonbo Imaging’s low-power, modular Electro-Optical/Infrared platforms exemplify this shift, offering scalable, AI-enabled sensor payloads for defence and homeland use.

10.4. Understanding: Ranging, Target Acquisition, Machine Learning, etc.

Modern battlefield systems rely on laser ranging, target acquisition, and machine learning (ML) to deliver precision engagement and situational awareness in contested environments. Together, these technologies form the core of “Understanding” in the Observe–Orient–Decide–Act (OODA) loop, bridging raw sensor data with decision-ready intelligence.

10.4.1. Evolution of Laser Ranging System Laser rangefinders (LRFs) have evolved over decades from basic distance measurement tools into networked, AI- enabled fire-control subsystems:

First Generation (CY1960s –Mechanical/Analog):Early LRFs used simple optical and microwave principles to spot ranges up to a few hundred meters. They were bulky, slow, and used mainly for indirect fire support.

Second Generation (CY1970s–CY1990s – Digital Solid-State): The advent of solid-state lasers and digital readouts allowed miniaturization. Systems achieved ranges of several kilometers, reduced response times, and became portable for frontline troops and armored vehicles.

Third Generation (CY2000s –Integrated Systems): LRFs became part of integrated fire-control suites, fusing with Electro-Optical/Infrared sights, ballistic computers, and artillery command systems. They enabled multi- target tracking, ballistic correction, and real-time fire support, deployed across tanks, UAVs, and precision- guided munitions.

Fourth Generation (CY2010s–present – AI-Enabled & Networked): Modern LRFs use MEMS-based scanning, eye-safe wavelengths, and AI-driven classification to map 3D environments. They adapt in degraded visual environments (fog, smoke, dust), feed directly into C4Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) networks, and enable cooperative targeting across platforms.

Example: India’s DRDO is fielding AI-enabled LRFs on tanks and UAVs, while Israel and the U.S. deploy advanced “fused” systems in loitering munitions and airborne targeting pods.

22610.4.2. Evolution Of Machine Learning (Target Tracking, Scene Classification) For Intelligence On The Battlefield ML has transformed how defence systems process battlefield data, enabling real-time target detection, tracking,

and scene understanding:

Early ML (Pre-CY2010s –Rule-Based):Algorithms relied on template matching and background subtraction.

They could identify vehicles or personnel but were slow, brittle, and dependent on large ground stations.

Deep Learning Era (CY2010s–present): Advances in neural networks (YOLO, Mask R-CNN, SSD) enabled real-time object detection and multi-object tracking (MOT), even under occlusion, clutter, or poor visibility.

Scene classification improved dramatically, allowing systems to differentiate terrain types (forest, urban, desert) and detect concealed or camouflaged assets.

Target Tracking Systems:Modern ML systems use Kalman filters + deep learning to predict trajectories. Re- identification (Re-ID) networks ensure continuous tracking even if targets disappear briefly. Multimodal fusion (Electro-Optical/Infrared, LiDAR, radar) further improves accuracy.

Scene Understanding & Predictive Analytics: Advanced models classify combat vs. civilian activity, detect IED placement through anomaly detection, and create 3D semantic maps using UAV or LiDAR data. This shortens decision cycles and improves rules-of-engagement compliance.

10.4.3. Integration into C4Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) and Fire-Control Workflows ML is no longer standalone—it is embedded into C4Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) and fire-control systems:

Integrated Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR)–Shooter Links: ML-curated data flows directly into artillery fire-control, precision-strike munitions, and loitering drones, reducing human-in-the- loop delays.

Automated Alerts:ML detects sniper fire, artillery launches, or unusual vehicle movement, generating alerts to commanders in seconds.

Cross-Sensor Fusion: ML combines HUMINT, SIGINT, Electro-Optical/Infrared, and SAR into a single operational picture, improving accuracy while lowering analyst workload.

Mission Autonomy: Autonomous UAV swarms can now classify, prioritize, and hand off targets among themselves without operator input —a direct result of ML-driven autonomy.

10.5. Communication: Long Range, Optical, etc.

Secure, resilient communication is the backbone of modern military operations. With Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), targeting, and C2 increasingly data-intensive, the ability to move high-bandwidth information across contested, degraded, or denied environments (CD2E) is now a decisive operational factor.

10.5.1. Limitations of Radio Frequency (RF) for Secure Long-Range Communication Conventional RF-based tactical communications remain essential but face growing constraints:

Vulnerability to interception/jamming: Omnidirectional propagation makes RF signals easily detectable and disruptable by enemy EW systems. Direction-finding and triangulation expose positions of command vehicles, UAVs, and FOBs.

Spectrum congestion: Increasing military–civilian demand crowds HF/VHF/UHF bands, generating latency, collisions, and degraded reliability—especially in multinational or urban theaters.

Limited bandwidth: RF is insufficient for modern Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) needs (e.g., live HD video, SAR imaging, or multi-sensor fusion feeds). Higher bands provide bandwidth but suffer from LOS/weather constraints.

Electromagnetic signature: Persistent RF transmissions increase detectability, undermining stealth operations and survivability in EW-rich environments.

22710.5.2. Evolution of Laser-based Free Space Optical (FSO) Communication for Secure High-Bandwidth Communication Free space optical (FSO) communication leverages laser beams to deliver gigabit-class, interference-free data across line-of-sight (LoS) links.

Advantages:

Multi-Gbps bandwidth, resilient to jamming/interception.

Low probability of detection/intercept due to narrow beams.

Spectrum independence —avoids Radio Frequency (RF) congestion since signalling used for communications is separate from traditional RF communications bandwidth.

Applications:

UAV-to-ground/aircraft links: Real-time Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) and Command and Control (C2)

Naval and FOB communications: Gigabit high speed data transfer between ships, coastal sites, and forward bases.

Hybrid RF+FSO: Combines bandwidth and resiliency and allows redundancy in communications systems since RF signals may be degraded due to bad weather conditions.

Key developments include:

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) over FSO – enabling unhackable battlefield links, supported by AI-based adaptive optics and auto-tracking gimbals.

By CY2030, FSO is projected to account for 25-30% of new tactical comms links in high-end militaries, supplementing but not fully replacing RF.

10.6. Offensive: Precision Targeting, Directed Energy Weapons, etc.

Modern offensive capabilities are evolving from mass-based kinetic dominance to precision, speed-of-light, and cost-efficient disruption. While missiles and smart munitions remain central, Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs) are emerging as scalable complementsand substitutes.

10.6.1. Laser-Based Directed Energy Weapons (L-DEWs)

Mechanism:High-energy lasers (HELs) deliver focused optical energy to heat/damage targets at light speed.

Advantages:Instantaneous engagement, low cost-per-shot, scalable power levels, minimal collateral damage

Example:Tonbo Imaging’s T-Rex Electro-Optical/Infrared module provides precision tracking/stabilization for HEL targeting.

Use Cases:

Naval Defence (HELIOS, LaWS):In the U.S. Navy, which uses ESPAs to address pirates or other small boats and suspected hostile drones, such as HELIOS (High-Energy Laser with Integrated Optical Dazzler and Surveillance) and LaWS (Laser Weapon System) fiber lasers are adapted to Electro-Optical/Infrared imaging and radar. Such lasers address threats swiftly and silently, particularly in swarm assaults or Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) drone penetration near ships.

10.6.2. Microwave-based Directed Energy Weapons

Mechanism:Emit high-power electromagnetic pulses to disable electronics without physical destruction.

The global DEW market is projected to grow from $504 million in CY2025 to $5.6 billion by CY2030 (CAGR >60%), with Israel, U.S., China, and India leading early deployment.

Use Cases:

228THOR (Tactical High-Power Operational Responder):It is a ground-based HPM weapon system developed by the U.S. Air Force Research Lab to face swarming drone threats. It can neutralise several small UAVs in one hit with no debris, and at relatively reduced risk of collateral area damage, with the system delivered in a single 20ft ISO container for easy use by forward operating bases or tactical convoys.

Airport or Urban Defence Systems:HPM DEWs are beginning to be considered at field level deployment, also to be located near airports the urban areas where kinetic intercept (or laser) weapons have hazards to persons and hazards due to infrastructure. Their electronic-only capabilities provide a safe means of defeating rogue drones or Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) threats.

10.7. Value chain of Defence Ecosystem Globally and in India The defence and aerospace ecosystem is not a linear supply chain but a multi-tiered value network, spanning policy, procurement, OEMs, integrators, subsystem suppliers, component manufacturers, and R&D partners. Each layer is interdependent, with feedback loops between user requirements, industrial capacity, and innovation pipelines.

Many countries—including India— continue to face persistent shortages as traditional supply chains struggle to keep pace with operational requirements. This has intensified the need for cost-effective, reliable, and easily maintainable seeker technologies, which form the heart of every ATGM system.

Missile seekers today are predominantly based on cooled infrared imaging systems, which, while effective, come

with significant drawbacks: they are costly, incorporate complex mechanical cooling assemblies prone to failure, and are challenging to replace or maintain in the field. In contrast, uncooled infrared imagers offer a far more robust and economical alternative—they are lower cost, exhibit greater reliability, and provide longer operational life.

Tonbo Imaging’s TRAP seeker fulfils these requirements. Engineered around an uncooled infrared imager, TRAP leverages Tonbo’s proprietary advances in optics technology and sensor design to deliver performance that matches the requirements for modern ATGMs.

Source: Frost & Sullivan Many major Indian defence firms, such as Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited

(HAL) collaborate with foreign technology partners like MBDA Missile Systems and Elbit Systems for critical missile, radar, and unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) subsystems through joint ventures and technology transfers.

These collaborations often involve licensed production and integration of externally developed seekers, sensors, or engines, underscoring demand for foreign technical know-how.

In contrast, Tonbo Imaging is one of few companies in India with no dependence on external technology partners as it owns 100% of its intellectual property, since FY24, from optics to embedded software and electronics including critical subsystems for sighting systems, including proprietary video engines, AI-accelerated image processing, and sub-5 µrad multi-axis gimbal stabilization.

Tonbo Imaging’s growth has been fueled by private capital and self-funded R&D, unlike many domestic peers, underscoring its position as a capital-efficient, globally validated innovator in modern Electro-Optical/Infrared technologies. In addition, Tonbo Imaging accounted for 94% of India’s thermal imaging export volumes, making it the country’s largest exporter of thermal imaging systems by units shipped between FY24 and FY26.

Source: Frost & Sullivan Tonbo Imaging competes with a cohort of established global Electro-Optical/Infrared companies, many of which follow traditional vertically integrated business models. Companies like Teledyne FLIR, Theon International, and Hensoldt design and manufacture systems in-house, supplying directly to NATO and government customers. In contrast, Tonbo Imaging adopts a horizontally integrated model, combining proprietary in-house design and IP ownership with outsourced manufacturing, an approach that enhances agility and capital efficiency. Founded in 2008, Tonbo Imaging is a recognized OEM providing a diverse suite of field-tested electro-optic products free from export restrictions under International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”). ITAR is a U.S. export control framework governing the sale, transfer, and sharing of defence related technology, data, and services. Tonbo’s full Electro-Optical/Infrared portfolio is entirely free from ITAR, enabling it to serve non-aligned and export sensitive markets more flexibly, as the company designs and develop their products within India, making Tonbo Imaging one of the few global OEMs capable of supplying cutting-edge technologies without geopolitical export limitations. Tonbo's products have been sold globally to customers in EU, US and Israel enabling adoption in India through a global first approach, underscoring their acceptance in some of the world’s most advanced defence markets.

OUR STRENGTHS 252Leading defence technology solutions provider with pioneering proprietary technologies Our Company is one of the few companies in India with no dependence on external technology partners as it owns 100% of its intellectual property since Fiscal 2024, pursuant to assignment agreements dated March 11, 2024 through which our Company purchased intellectual property from CEAQ Singapore. The proprietary technology ranges from optics to embedded software and electronics including critical subsystems for sighting systems, including proprietary video engines, AI-accelerated image processing, and sub-5 µrad multi-axis gimbal stabilization, as per the F&S Report. For further details with respect to the intellectual property assigned/owned, please see “-Intellectual Property Rights” on page 277.Ownership of the intellectual properties we use, ensures full control over our technology roadmap and product evolution. We are a software-led company with a focus on product design and development. As per the F&S Report, by applying computational imaging, AI, and sensor fusion, we build systems that are lighter, smarter, and significantly more cost-effective than conventional alternatives. For further details, see “Industry Overview –Tonbo Imaging’s Position in the Ecosystem” on page

231.

This approach allows us to overcome limitations of traditional optics and infrared (“IR”) sensors, embed edge AI in our systems for autonomous decision-making and deliver low-size weight and power (“SWaP”), high- performance platform systems across multiple domains. We own a portfolio of technologies, including advanced infrared sensors, AI-based computer vision algorithms, low- SWaP optics, free-space optical communications, and high-power microwave systems. Since Fiscal 2024, these assets are developed in-house with no material licensing dependencies, enabling rapid deployment and continuous innovation.

Our Company supplies and controls the technical aspects of building the core components; optical designs, infrared imaging engines, video processing electronics, target tracking/classification electronics, laser ranging modules stabilized gimbal platforms,software and hardware systems to control a variety of peripherals. Each of these is a module that can be combined to create different product configuration. This makes it modular and scalable across different end product platforms.

Our mission is to assist, augment and replace humans on the battlefield. As per the F&S Report, autonomous systems are transforming modern warfare by using AI, sensor fusion, and real-time decision-making to conduct faster, safer, and more precise operations with minimal human intervention. For further details, see “Industry Overview –Evolution of Warfare and Industry” on page 166.

They reduce risk to personnel by handling dangerous tasks like mine clearance, reconnaissance, and contested airspace surveillance, extend operational reach, and process data at machine speed for accurate targeting and reduced collateral damage. Capable of rapid, adaptive responses in electronic, cyber, and kinetic domains, they enable swarming tactics for resilience and mission continuity. Rather than replacing humans, autonomy shifts their role from operators to strategic decision-makers, allowing machines to manage routine, hazardous, or time- critical tasks. Towards this end of enabling autonomy on the battlefield, we have developed a diversified product portfolio including thermal cameras, thermal binoculars, targeting systems, seekers, fire control systems, missile guidance systems amongst others. Our products span the electromagnetic spectrum; some are based on heat signatures of objects emitting infrared radiation, some use visible light while others use proprietary image processing to fuse images frommultiple sources.

Our vision is to own an “intelligence stack”. The intelligence stack has multiple technology elements of sensing, understanding, communication and control and enables autonomy on the battle-field. This enables deployment of unmanned platform systems, smart munitions, and AI-driven weapon systems with enhanced ISR and battlefield survivability.

Driving innovation in defence electronics through in-house R&D with an asset light business model We operate an asset-light business model with a focus on product design and development. Our Company is

integrated horizontally: core design and IP are developed in-house, while manufacturing is outsourced to EMS.

Our contract manufacturing model allows us to focus on our R&D capabilities.Our EMS partners include certified contract manufacturers such as Kaynes Technology India Limited (“Kaynes”) and Avalon Technology and Services Private Limited (“Avalon”), who possess the technical expertise and required certifications.

Our in-house design and development capabilities also enable us to remain responsive to the changing requirements of our customers and introduce new systems that address the evolving challenges and opportunities in the defence electronics sector. We also customize our products and technologies to meet customer expectations 253and end user preference considering factors such as terrain adaptability or reduced size, weight, power and cost of systems.

As part of our efforts towards R&D, we have set-up an R&D centre at Bengaluru, Karnataka employing 130 engineers which constitute ~ 38% of our workforce as of June 30, 2026, to undertake research, develop and experiment with new designs, technologies and equipment. We intend to focus our technology development and R&D on cost reduction of our products to support larger industrial and commercial applications across safety, security and efficiency.

Some of our key projects include developing airborne systems with high performance EO/IR gimbal for an Indian defence R&D organisation, a multi-spectral infrared seeker and command launcher unit with advanced computer vision capabilities for a defence manufacturing company and a cost-effective, FSO communication system suitable for terrestrial and naval applications, addressing the limitations of current FSO technologies in challenging environments for Indian armed forces.

A modern cooled thermal imaging camera has an imaging sensor that is integrated with a cryocooler to drastically lower the sensor temperature which in turn reduces thermally-induced noise to a level below that of the signal from the scene being imaged. Cooled cameras provide superior sensitivity, faster frame rates, and higher resolution for demanding applications like long-range surveillance and R&D, while uncooled thermal imagers, use microbolometers that operate at ambient temperature, are cheaper, simpler, more reliable, and have lower power consumption. We have undertaken R&D to enhance performance of uncooled cameras to defence grade performance standards. Our work has involved improving the sensitivity and resolution of uncooled thermal imagers so that they can be used in long range surveillance applications.

The table below sets forth the R&D expense incurred and R&D expense as a percentage of the total expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

For further information on our Promoter, Directors and management team, see “Our Promoter and Promoter Group” and “Our Management” on pages 318and 300, respectively.

OUR STRATEGIES Continued investment in R&D to achieve defence modernization through development of new products We believe that our focus on R&D has been critical to the growth of our business.and has improved our ability to address customer requirements effectively. As a result, we are continuously investing in technology, equipment and skilled employees to develop products that improve our customers’ experience. Further, we believe that our focus on strategic areas such as product design, distribution and innovation will drive sustainable growth and maintain a strong pace of design-led product development.This will also provide us the opportunity to consolidate our position with our customers and increase the share of their supply needs that we fulfil.

We are also constantly exploring opportunities to collaborate with leading overseas technology companies around the world, which, among other benefits, allow us to enhance R&D. To further strengthen our innovation ecosystem, we are actively pursuing partnerships and joint ventures with global technology leaders. These collaborations are expected to accelerate the commercialization of new technologies and enhance our ability to address evolving defence electronics requirements. For instance, we have entered into a binding agreement for an investment of ₹15.00million, in an early-stage technology company developing/designing products for defence applications and upon completion of the transaction, we will own approximately5% of the share capital of this 258company, on a fully diluted basis. We expect the proposed investment to provide our Company with an opportunity to establish an early strategic presence in a productsector, which is complementary to our existing capabilities in electro-optics, sensors and related defence technologies.

Our R&D strategy is to maintain a pipeline of both customer-driven and internally initiated innovation.

This dual approach enables our Company to:  Address the operational needs of defence customers through co-development,  Build proprietary technologies that underpin scalable, cost-effective, and high-performance products,  Support the government’s indigenisation and self-reliance initiatives,  Maintain technological leadership and competitiveness in both domestic and international markets.

The R&D function is thus positioned as a core driver of the company’s growth, differentiation, and ability to deliver advanced, indigenous solutions for defence and security applications.

We also intend to increase our product centric R&D by exploring opportunities in designing, engineering and/or manufacturing products such as (a) short range canister launched loitering munitions; (b) jet turbine enabled long range reconnaissance platforms; (c) remote weapon stations for autonomous sentries; and (d) high altitude wind riding balloon platforms for reconnaissance and targeting.

We believe that a robust and agile R&D framework, supported by continuous investment and strategic collaborations, will position us to capitalize on new opportunities in the defence electronics industry. We intend to increase the number of patents and proprietary technologies developed in-house, underscoring our commitment to R&D and enhancing our competitive advantage and long-term growth prospects.

Continued diversification of product portfolio We have built a diversified product portfolio that addresses a wide spectrum of mission requirements across tactical, land, naval, aerial, and missile operations. This diversification is not incidental, it is the result of deliberate, feedback-driven innovation to meet evolving global defence needs. In modern conflict environments, where mission objectives range from surgical long-range targeting to panoramic situational awareness, we ensure that defence forces are equipped with the right imaging technologyfor every scenario. For further details, see “- Diversified defence product portfolio with deployability across all domains” We design modular, scalable technology platforms that interoperate across high-end defence programs and cost- sensitive deployments. Our roadmap is shaped by operational feedback from global customers, with new configurations, performance upgrades, and domain adaptations to stay ahead of tactical and strategic needs.

Over last few years we have accelerated our efforts to steer towards designing autonomous integrated platform systems to cater to the current market trends. We believe that the modularity and scalability of our designs facilitate seamless integration into next-generation combat platform systems. We endeavour to enhance business resilience and towards this end have developed a wide portfolio of platform systemswhich we believe will find acceptance across customer types, time periods and price points.

For instance, we are developing HPM systems. As per the F&S Report, the HPM systems have the potential ability to take down large swarms of enemy drones. This is a clear and modern-day threat and every nation wants to own sovereign capabilities in this space. For further details, see “Industry Overview – Directed energy systems” on page 176. We have built various components of intellectual property and design for a large scale HPM system that can potentially neutralize drone swarms in ranges exceeding 3 km. Our product (WaveStrike) is built on a portfolio of advanced technologies-multibeam Klystrons, high energy power supplies, long range antennae and precision stabilized positioning platforms. We are also in the process of signing a contract for a prototype system with one of our customers. As a part of this program, we have been selected to receive a grant from iDEX and will use this grant, internal accruals and bank term loan to fund the R&D project and productization of the HPM system. While the final system is being developed, we are also negotiating contracts with customers for various subsystems that are being built by us and could be commercialized independent of the final HPM system.

Pursue strategic partnerships with OEMs 259Our Company intends to focus on collaborative development with local government defence institutions and public sector OEMs to accelerate innovation and secure preferential access to large-scale procurement programs.

It embeds our Company as a sovereign technology partner going beyond a transactional sale.

Such strategic partnerships have several advantages:

1. Pathway to sole-source procurement: A system or subsystem co-developed with a government lab or defence PSU, would allow our Company to become the default nominated supplier of that subsystem.

This provides direct access to long-term acquisition programs without undergoing open tenders.

2. Early integration into platform programs: Joint development allows our Company to embed its technology at the platform architecture level, ensuring upstream integration into tanks, missiles, aircraft, UAVs, or surveillance systems.

As per the F&S Report, our Company supplies completely knocked down (“CKD”) kits and electro-optic cores, allows white-labelling by local defence OEMs and ensures the final product qualifies as “domestically manufactured”. For further details, see “Industry Overview – Tonbo Imaging’s Position in the Ecosystem” on page 231. This enables, our Company to scale globally without compromising on local procurement sensitivities.

While per-unit profit margins may be slightly lower from such arrangements than in direct sales, the volume and repeatability of white-labelled contractsoften compensate for the deficit. It also ensures strategic alignment with governments seeking to build indigenous defence manufacturing capacity. Further, products assembled and branded locally can bypass restrictions related to defence offsets, import duties, or foreign procurement caps.

In exports, we pursue partnerships with domestic OEMs in each target country to ensure we do not invest in local manufacturing plants or full-scale operations in each target country. We leverage our partners’ infrastructure and licenses, allowing us to scale globally with low capital expenditure. While we intend to supply technology (e.g., sensors, optics, AI modules) while keeping tight control over its proprietary IP in these proposed arrangements, assembly, branding, and sustainment will be handled locally without exposing sensitive core technologies. Further the burden of after-sales support, maintenance, and political lobbying is shared or delegated to local partners, which allows us to focus on R&D and supply of core modules, streamlining internal operations while expanding footprint. We intend to market ourselves as the core engine or technology provider to OEMs. As we build the trust of OEMs, we endeavour to reinforce our brand as a strategic core technology supplier even if the end product carries another label.

OEM partners bring with them knowledge of the local market trends, they can tailor the products to meet country- specific operational doctrines, vehicle interfaces, or certification standards. This adaptability strengthens our position in competitive tenders against rigid foreign imports.

We are pursuing international collaborations to strengthen our market position and are in active discussions with regional partners to form strategic alliances. These partnerships will leverage local manufacturing capabilities and infrastructure to accelerate market entry and enhance customer service. By working with global manufacturers, we aim to fortify our supply chain, broaden our product portfolio, and capture new market opportunities:

sustaining high quality and driving growth.

Increasing our customer base through expansion into new geographies We intend to expand our footprint in new geographies by catering to new customers. We anticipate that our product offerings, the quality thereof and leadership in key product segments will help us in increasing our customer base. We intend to continue to expand our international operations to enhance our global presence in the defence sector. We seek to identify markets where we believe we can provide cost and operational advantages for our customers and distinguish ourselves from other competitors. Through our experience and proven track record, we believe we are strongly positioned to provide products and solutions to international customers. We will continue to focus on our existing markets and intend to provide our products and solutions to other countries and markets.

Our endeavour to increase our geographical footprint is buttressed by our Promoters’ direct engagement in marketing our credentials to international customers.We have added two people to our sales and marketing function –to cover South America, South East Asia, Africa, Middle East and Europe.Further, we have recently received an order from Africa for telescopic weapon sights designed for assault rifles and light / medium machine guns. We are also actively engaged with European system integrators to pursue new opportunities related to NATO procurement. As per F&S report, system integrators are players that integrate several subsystems (such as 260optics, radars, communication modules) as a whole system. For details with respect to our dependence on system integrators, see “Risk Factors -If we are unableto maintain our relationships with our system integrators or if any of them change the terms of their arrangements with us, our business could be adversely affected” on page

53.

We believe that our engagement with suppliers, OEMs and partners will enable us to interact with a diverse range of foreign customers. We also intend to enter into partnership agreements with experienced agents to explore business opportunities in new international markets. For further details on our strategy to pursue strategic partnerships with OEMs and joint ventures to increase our geographic reach, see “-Pursue strategic partnerships with OEMs” on page 259.

OUR PRODUCTS We believe the most critical part of enabling autonomy is the “eye” and the “brain”. Seeing the environment clearly in all weather conditions, interpreting the dynamics of various objects in the environment in real-time and efficiently communicating the result of interpretation to drive closed loop control is the key to autonomy as per us. Thus, ‘seeing’, ‘understanding’, ‘communication’ and ‘control’ are the pillars of support for any completely autonomous system.

As per the F&S report, the integrated systems in modern day battlefield are changing: - Missiles are being replaced by loitering munitions; - Fighter aircrafts are making way for unmanned combat drones and need for counter-drone systems are becoming prevalent;

- Tanks and heavy infantry vehicles are being replaced by more nimble unmanned ground vehicles with autonomous weaponry;

For further details, see “Industry Overview –Evolution of warfare and industry” on page 166.

All of our products constitute some or all components of the intelligence stack to enable autonomy on the battlefield. Our products are classified into the following categories:

1) Tactical systems-These systems are focused on the functions of imaging, surveillance, reconnaissance and targeting. They are also used for detection, tracking, classification and neutralisation.They are typically used by dismounted soldiers, paramilitary, special operations and infantry for observation and target localization. Some examples of tactical systems include hand-held multi-sensor imaging systems (Bloodhound, Gazehound), driver vision systems (Minion), 360 degree situational awareness systems

(WolfPack), thermal weapon sights (Spartan, Arjun), hand-held targeting systems (GeoUC).

2) Platform systems - We make two kinds of platform systems – (a) subsystems that can provide observation and fire control capabilities to a range of aerial, ground and weaponplatforms and (b) end platforms that actuallyperform the task of threat neutralization.

(a) Platform subsystems - The platform subsystems consist of hardware and software that can perform long range observation, enhanced targeting and guidance for weapons to neutralize threats. The subsystems are typically integrated on ground vehicles (tanks, reconnaissance vehicles), aerial vehicles (reconnaissance, fighter aircraft and combat UAV), weapon stations (air defence guns, remote controlled weapon systems), anti-tank guided missiles (hand or vehicle fired). Examples of products that fall under this category are Avenger S50, Hummingbird family of gimbals, AGS30/ELPEOS fire control systems, TRAP missile seekers.

These platform subsystems are supplied to systems integrators or manufacturers of end platforms like tanks, UAVs and missiles.

(b) End platform systems - We are now investing in the development of certain kinds of end platforms. One of these platforms is a loitering munition that can leverage our aerial targeting and seeker subsystem technologies. These end platforms are being designed to replace current aerial systems and as a defence against both ground and aerial threats.

2613) Directed energy systems - To counter the threat of drone swarms, we have designed a portfolio of technology components that are being assembled into a high power microwave (“HPM”) platform with the brand name - WaveStrike. The core of the weapon system includes the modulator, klystron, pulse compressor, and antenna system, all mounted on a motorized pan-tilt platform for precise directional control. The pan-tilt mechanism enablesthe antenna to slew accurately toward threats being tracked by the electro-optics subsystem, ensuring seamless target engagement. The entire system is designed to be deployed on stationary or mobile, ground and naval platforms, providing operational versatility. The HPM modules work together to generate, amplify, and direct high-power microwave energy with precision, ensuring effective neutralization of autonomous threats. The HPM system works in conjunction with our long-range detection and tracking system - TRex. TRex includes electro-optical (“EO”) and infrared (“IR”) sensors for handoff of threats from the radar and precise tracking of targets, ensuring high accuracy in dynamic environments. It supports day and night operations, maintaining continuous targeting feedback.

Also, see, “Risk Factors –OurRegistered Office (which is also our research centre) and Corporate Office are not located on land owned by us andwe have only leasehold rights. In the event we lose or are unable to renew such leasehold rights, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected” on page 61.

COMPETITION We face competition from domestic as well as overseas companies which either operate in the same line of business as us or in a closely related domain. As per the F&S Report, to assess our positioning within both the Indian and global defence electro‑optics (Electro-Optical/Infrared) landscape, it is essential to benchmark against companies that operate in closely related domains and demonstrate comparable technological relevance. Epirus

(US), Teledyne FLIR (US), Hensoldt (Germany), Theon International, and Controp (Israel), represent established players in Electro-Optical/Infrared, thermal imaging, and advanced defence electronics in the global market. They provide a meaningful reference for evaluating technology integration, global market penetration, and intellectual property ownership. Similarly, in the Indian defence companies, Astra Microwave, Zen Technologies, Data Patterns, Paras Defence, and Bharat Electronics, are leading domestic peers in defence electronics, radar, simulation, and subsystem integration. Together, these companies represent the relevant ecosystem within which our Company operates and highlight the gaps it fills by offering proprietary, end‑to‑end Electro-Optical/Infrared subsystems. For more information, see “Industry Overview”on page 160.To remain competitive in our markets, we must continuously strive to reduce our costs of production, through automation and innovation and improve our operating efficiencies. Some of our competitors have greater financial and other resources and better access to capital than we do, which may enable them to compete more effectively, or better geographical reach which gives them the ability to quote competitively as the transportation costs are limited. However, depending on various factors and the extent of our presence in the relevant geographical region, we are able to leverage our experience and familiarity with the industry to provide cost effective products than our competitors or offer a better value proposition.

For risks with respect to the competition faced by the Company, see “Risk Factors – Failure to compete effectively against our competitors and new entrants to the industry may adversely affect our business, financial condition and resultsof operations” on page 52.

INSURANCE Our operations are subject to risks inherent in the designing and development of defence electronic equipments, such as work accidents, explosions including hazards that may cause severe damage, including the physical destruction of property, breakdown of machinery and other force majeure events. We maintain insurance cover for standard fire and special perils, fire floater policy and also obtain marine insurance policies for transit of goods, like the marine cargo (open policy and sales turnover policy), package insurance and standalone terrorism policy 280and insurance policies covering directors’ and officers’ liability. We have also obtained a group mediclaim, group term life policy and group personal accident policy. We also maintain a keyman insurance policy for certain of our ‘key men’ essential to our business. These insurance policies are generally valid for a year and are renewed annually. In our experience, the amount of insurance currently maintained by us represents an appropriate level of coverage required to insure our business and operations. For further information on risks related to our insurance policies, see “Risk Factors –Our insurance coverage may not be adequate or we may incur uninsured losses or losses in excess of our insurance coverage which may impact on our financial condition, cash flows and results in operations.” on page 66.

The information in this section has been obtained from legislations, including rules, regulations, guidelines and circulars promulgated and issued by regulatory bodies that are available in the public domain. The statements below are based on the current provisions of Indian law, which are subject to change or modification by subsequent legislative actions, regulatory, administrative or judicial decisions. Judicial and administrative interpretations are subject to modification or clarification by subsequent legislative, judicial or administrative decisions. The description of laws and regulations set out below may not be exhaustive and are only intended to provide general information to the investors and are neither designed nor intended to be a substitute for professional legal advice.

Laws in relation to our business Defence Acquisition Procedure 2020, as amended (“DAP”) The Ministry of Defence ("MoD") has announced the Defence Acquisition Procedure 2020 ("DAP"), which came into effect from 1 October 2020, superseding the Defence Procurement Procedure, 2016. The DAP remains in force until amended or replaced by the MoD. The DAP focuses on indigenous production and aims to transform India into a global manufacturing hub for weapons and military platforms. It is aligned with the Government's Aatmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) initiative and seeks to empower the Indian domestic defence industry through 'Make in India' projects. The Department of Military Affairs ("DMA"), MoD, has prepared a list of items subject to an import embargo (Import Embargo List), as initially set out in the press release dated 9 August 2020.

This list, which is periodically updated, now covers more than 101 items, including high-technology weapon systems such as artillery guns, assault rifles, sonar systems, transport aircraft, light combat helicopters (LCHs), radars, and other items to fulfil the needs of the defence services. The DAP also encourages foreign companies to establish manufacturing in India. The DAP contains detailed guidelines relating to: (i) acquisition categories, planning, and indigenous content; (ii) acquisition procedures for 'Buy' and 'Buy and Make' schemes; (iii) procurement under 'Make' and 'Innovation' categories; (iv) acquisition of systems designed and developed by DRDO/DPSUs/OFB; (v) fast track procedure; (vi) standardisation of contract documents; (vii) revitalising the defence industrial ecosystem through strategic partnerships; (viii) acquisition of system products and information and communication technology systems; (ix) leasing; (x) other capital procurement procedures; (xi) post-contract management; and (xii) procedure for defence shipbuilding. It also contains guiding principles on the intellectual property rights of the government in 'Make-I' projects funded by the MoD, including the government's right to work patents if a contractor fails to do so within a reasonable period.

The DAP outlines the defence offset policy, which aims to leverage capital acquisitions and technology to develop the Indian defence industry by fostering internationally competitive enterprises and augmenting research, design, and development capacity. Offset provisions now apply only to 'Buy (Global)' procurements through competitive bidding, where the estimated Acceptance of Necessity (AoN) cost is ₹20,000 million or more. The required value of such offset obligations is generally 30% of the estimated cost of the acquisition, and these obligations are typically imposed on foreign vendors.

Further, the draft Defence Acquisition Procedure 2026 (“Draft DAP 2026”), published on February 10, 2026, proposes to increase the IDDM indigenous-content threshold from 50% to 60%, introduces an Indian design, source-code and IP ownership requirement, and proposes changes to iDEX procurement and bid-security provisions. The indigenous component may vary across individual contracts, depending on the nature and specifications of the relevant contract and the components required thereunder.

Draft Defence Production & Export Promotion Policy, 2020 (“Draft DPEPP”) The MoD released the Draft DPEPP to provide further impetus to realise the goal of self-reliance under the goal of Aatmanirbhar Bharat, which is to develop a dynamic, robust and competitive defence industry, including aerospace and naval shipbuilding industry, to cater to the needs of armed forces, along with giving end to end solutions ranging from design to production, with active participation from the public and private sectors, thus fulfilling the twin objectives of self-reliance as well as exports. The Draft DPEPP aims to implement measures so as to achieve a turnover of ₹ 1,750,000 million (US$ 25 billion) including export of ₹ 350,000 million (US$ 5 billion) in aerospace and defence goods and services by 2025. Further, its objective is to reform as well as standardize defence procurement by providing support to micro, small and medium enterprises/ start-ups in order to indigenize the manufacturing of imported components. Additionally, the Draft DPEPP has the following goals:

282(i) to reduce dependence on imports and take forward the “Make in India” initiative through domestic design and development; (ii) to promote export of defence products and become part of the global defence value chains; (iii) to create an environment that encourages research and development, rewards innovation, creates Indian intellectual property ownership and promotes a robust and self-reliance defence industry; (iv) enhance investment promotion in the aviation sector with the association of the Ministry of Civil Aviation by offering incentives to global and domestic original equipment manufacturers to set up design and manufacturing facilities in India; and

(v) liberalize foreign direct investment in the defence sector for attracting global original equipment manufacturers to shift manufacturing facilities and expand India’s presence in international supply chains.

Industries (Development and Regulation) Act, 1951, as amended (“IDAR Act”) The IDAR Act has been liberalized under the New Industrial Policy dated July 24, 1991, and all industrial undertakings are exempt from licensing except for certain industries. The IDAR Act is administered by the Ministry of Commerce and Industries through the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade.

The DPDP Act received the assent of the President and was notified on August 11, 2023. The DPDP Act, which supersedes certain provisions of the Information Technology Act, 2000 (on compensation for failure to protect data) provides for collection and processing of digital personal data by persons, including companies. The DPDP Act seeks to balance the rights of individuals to protect their personal data with the need to process personal data for lawful and other incidental purposes. All data fiduciaries, determining the purpose and means of processing personal data, are mandated to provide an itemised notice to data principals in plain and clear language containing a description of the personal data sought to be collected along with the purpose of processing such data.

Any individual whose data is being processed (data principal), will have the right to: (i) obtain information about processing, (ii) seek correction and erasure of personal data, (iii) nominate another person to exercise rights in the event of death or incapacity, and (iv) grievance redressal. Data principals have certain duties. They must not: (i) register a false or frivolous complaint (ii) furnish any false particulars or impersonate another person in specified cases and (iii) to ensure not to suppress any material information while providing personal data for any document issued by the State. Violation in observance of duties by a data principal will be punishable with a penalty of up to ₹ 10,000. The Central Government has established the Data Protection Board of India (the “Data Protection Board”), whose key functions include (i) monitoring compliance and imposing penalties, (ii) directing data fiduciaries to take necessary measures in the event of a data breach, and (iii) hearing grievances made by affected persons.

The DPDP Act further imposes certain obligations on data fiduciaries including (i) make reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy and completeness of data, (ii) build reasonable security safeguards to prevent a data breach,

(iii) inform the Data ProtectionBoard of India and affected persons in the event of a breach, and (iv) erase personal data as soon as the purpose has been met and retention is not necessary for legal purposes (storage limitation). In case retention is necessary for compliance with law, storage limitation and the right of the data principal to erasure will not apply. The Data Protection Board members will be appointed for two years and will be eligible for reappointment. The Central Government has prescribed details such as the number of members of the Data Protection Board and the selection process.

The Central Government has notified the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025 (the “DPDP Rules”) on November 14, 2025. The DPDP Rules facilitate the implementation of the DPDP Act. It aims to strengthen the legal framework for the protection of digital personal data by providing necessary details and an actionable framework. The DPDP Rules lays down various implementation aspects such as a phased 18-month period for implementation and compliance of the DPDP Rules, clear protocols for data fiduciaries for ensuring reasonable security safeguards and intimation of personal data breaches, registration and obligations of consent managers, independent audits and impact assessments by significant data fiduciaries, processing of personal data for issuance of subsidy, benefit, services, certificates, licenses or permits by the State and its instrumentalities, providing details about availing rights by data principals, processing of personal data of child or of person with disability, additional obligations of significant data fiduciaries, setting up the Data Protection Board, appointment and service conditions of the chairperson and other members of the Data Protection Board, functioning of the Data Protection Board as digital office, and procedure to appeal to appellate tribunal.

The rules also set targets for collection and recycling, promote the use of recycled materials in new batteries, and prohibit the disposal of batteries in landfills or through incineration. They further emphasise the need for public awareness, proper labelling, and the maintenance of records to ensure transparency and accountability throughout the battery lifecycle. The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) is tasked with maintaining a centralised online portal, publishing a consolidated list of producers using digital labelling, and updating it quarterly making it easierto track batteries throughout their lifecycle.

Other applicable legislations Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006, as amended The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 (“MSMED Act”) is a key legislation aimed at promoting and regulating MSMEs in India by providing a legal framework for their classification, development and protection.

Consumer Protection Act, 2019 The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 which repealed the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, was designed and enacted to provide simpler and quicker access to redress consumer grievances. It seeks, inter alia, to promote and protect the interests of consumers against deficiencies and defects in goods or services and secure the rights of a consumer against unfair trade practices, which may be practiced by manufacturers, service providers, and traders. It provides for the establishment of consumer dispute redressal forums and commissions for the purposes of redressal of consumer grievances. One of the substantial changes introduced by the Consumer Protection Act is the inclusion of the e-commerce industry under the Consumer Protection Act with “e-commerce” defined to refer to the buying and selling of goods or services over a digital or electronic network.

Specifically, the Company controls an investee if and only if the Company has: - Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee) - Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and - the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights result in control. To support this presumption and when the Company has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

- The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee - Rights arising from other contractual arrangements - The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights - The size of the Group’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of the holdings of the other voting rights holders TheGroupre-assesseswhetherornotitcontrolsaninvesteeiffactsandcircumstancesindicatethattherearechangestooneormoreof thethreeelementsofcontrol.ConsolidationofasubsidiarybeginswhentheGroupobtainscontroloverthesubsidiaryandceaseswhen theGrouplosescontrolofthesubsidiary.Assets,liabilities,incomeandexpensesofasubsidiaryacquiredordisposedofduringthe periodareincludedintherestatedsummarystatementsfromthedatetheGroupgainscontroluntilthedatetheGroupceasestocontrol thesubsidiary.Therestatedsummarystatementsarepreparedusinguniformaccountingpoliciesforliketransactionsandotherevents in similar circumstances.

Characteristics of defined benefit plans and risks associated with them:

Valuationofdefinedbenefitplanareperformedoncertainbasicsetofpre-determinedassumptionsandotherregulatoryframework which may vary over time. Thus, the Company is exposed to various risks in providing the above benefit plans which are as follows:

A. Actuarial Risk:

It is the risk that benefits will cost more than expected. This can arise due to one of the following reasons:

Adverse Salary Growth Experience: Salary hikes that are higher than the assumed salary escalation will result into an increase in Obligation at a rate that is higher than expected.

Variabilityinmortalityrates:IfactualmortalityratesarehigherthanassumedmortalityrateassumptionthentheGratuityBenefits willbepaidearlierthanexpected.Sincethereisnoconditionofvestingonthedeathbenefit,theaccelerationofcashflowwillleadtoan actuarial loss or gain depending on the relative values of the assumed salary growth and discount rate.

Variabilityinwithdrawalrates:IfactualwithdrawalratesarehigherthanassumedwithdrawalrateassumptionthantheGratuity Benefits will be paid earlier than expected. The impact of this will depend on whether the benefits are vested as at the resignation date.

B. Investment Risk:

C. Liquidity Risk:

The warranty provision represents management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the Company’s obligation for repair and/or replacement of products already sold as at the reporting date.

The provision has been estimated based on historical claim trends, technical evaluation of products, nature and frequency of defects, estimated rectification costs and management’s experience of warranty claims.

The Company reassesses the adequacy of the warranty provision at each reporting date and adjusts the provision to reflect the current best estimate. Revisions to estimates are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which such changes are identified.

The timing of outflows is generally expected to arise within the standard warranty period ranging from 12 to 60 months from the date of sale. However, the actual timing and amount of expenditure may vary depending on the nature of defects identified and the extent of corrective actions required.

There are inherent uncertainties in estimating warranty provisions, particularly relating to: i. frequency and nature of product failures; ii. future repair and replacement costs; iii. technological and engineering assessments;

iv. customer usage patterns and operating conditions; and v. effectiveness of corrective actions undertaken by the Company.

Based on information currently available, management believes that the provision recognised is adequate to meet future warranty obligations.

A. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising from counterparty failure to repay or service debt according to the contractual terms or obligations. Credit risk encompasses of both, the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration of risks The Group measures the expected credit loss associated with its assets based on historical trend, industry practices and the business environment in which the entity operates or any other appropriate basis. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

Financial instruments that are subject to concentration of credit risk principally consist of trade receivables, investments, derivative financial instruments and other financial assets. None of the financial instruments of the Company results in material concentration of credit risk i) Cash and Cash Equivalents Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents and other deposits with banks is limited as the Company generally invests in deposits with banks with high credit ratings assigned by external credit rating agencies; accordingly the Company considers that the related credit risk is low.

ii) Trade receivables An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date. The expected credit losses over lifetime of the asset are estimated by adopting the simplified approach using a provision matrix which is based on historical loss rate reflecting future economic conditions. In this approach assets are grouped on the basis of similar credit characteristics such as industry, customer segment, past due status and other factors which are relevant to estimate the expected cash loss from these assets.

i. Budget allocation trends in defence sector ii. Payment cycle delays d) N o significant defaults observed historically Write-off Policy

Receivables are written off when: a) There is no reasonable expectation of recovery b) Matter is concluded legally or contractually Concentration of Credit Risk The Company has significant concentration of credit risk towards Government entities; however, the risk is mitigated due to the sovereign nature of such customers.

iii) Other financial assets:

Other financial assets are tested for impairment and expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to 12 month expected credit loss.

If the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition, then the expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to life-time expected credit loss.

B. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.

Management monitors monthly rolling forecasts of the Company's liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. This is generally carried in accordance with standard guidelines. The Company has liquidity reserves in the form of highly liquid assets in the form of cash and cash equivalent, deposit accounts, etc.

Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including long term debt. The Group is exposed to market risk primarily related to Interest Rate Risk, Currency Risk and the Other prices Risk and the market value of the investments. Thus, the exposure to market risk is a function of investing and borrowing activities and revenue generating and operating activities.

D.Foreign currency risk The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, USD being its prime foreign currency. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Group's functional currency (INR).

ITAR is a U.S. export control framework governing the sale, transfer, and sharing of defence related technology, data, and services. Our EO/IR portfolio is free from ITAR, enabling it to serve non-aligned and export sensitive markets more flexibly, as we design and develop our products within India, making us one of the few global OEMs capable of supplying cutting-edge technologies without geopolitical export limitations.

As per the F&S Report, our Company is one of the few companies in India with no dependence on external technology partners as we own 100% of our intellectual property since Fiscal 2024, pursuant to assignment agreements dated March 11, 2024 through which our Company purchased intellectual property from CEAQ Singapore. The proprietary technology ranges from optics to embedded software and electronics. For further details, see “Industry Overview – Strategic Comparison” on page 237 and for details with respect to the intellectual property assigned/owned, please see “Our Business-Intellectual Property Rights” on page 277. The Government of India has introduced numerous policies under the ‘Make in India’ initiative and the ‘Atmanirbhar’ vision, introducing reforms to promote the indigenous design, development and manufacturing of defence equipment in the country, thereby reducing reliance on defence imports. Introduced in 2020, India’s Defence Acquisition Procedure 2020 (“DAP 2020”), “Indigenously-Designed, Developed and Manufactured” (“IDDM”) is a part of India’s ‘Make in India’ initiative for defence. In order to be an eligible IDDM vendor under the DAP 2020, our Company is required to ensure that the control of the Company is with Indian citizens and at least half of the ex-factory cost of the products needs to originate from Indian design, development, production or value- addition, and limits the permissible foreign or non-indigenous content in the final product to a maximum of 50% of the overall contract value. We are a supplier under IDDM.

406We were incorporated in 2003 as a subsidiary of a research company initially providing R&D and technology development services focused on designing intellectual property. In 2012, post the buyout of the erstwhile subsidiary of the research company by our Promoters, we transitioned into a defense-focused product manufacturing company, developing and supplying advanced electro-optic and electronic systems.

The table below sets forth certain financial information for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

Particulars Unit As of/ For the three months As of/ For the year ended March 31, ended June 30, 2026 2026 2025 2024 Revenue from ₹ million 360.08 3,626.48 4,690.80 4,281.89 Operations(1) Revenue % NA (22.69) 9.55 342.22 Growth(2) Gross Profit(3) ₹ million 135.78 1,851.26 2,644.69 2,082.60 Gross Profit % 37.71 51.05 56.38 48.64 Margin (4) EBITDA(5) ₹ million (130.37) 1,046.18 1,390.64 1,123.24 EBITDA % (36.21) 28.85 29.65 26.23 Margin(6) PAT(7) ₹ million (177.37) 508.80 727.57 685.43 PAT Margin(8) % (47.52) 13.75 15.34 15.87 ROCE %(9) % (4.31)* 14.54 27.41 67.76 ROE %(10) % (3.25)* 9.75 20.20 52.72 Net Tangible Times 1.48* 14.62 19.16 89.45 Fixed Asset Turnover (x)(11) Working Capital No of Days Refer Note 1# 517 280 152 Days(12) * Not Annualized for the period ended June 30, 2026.

Note1#: The working capital days for period ended June 30, 2026 is 1,454 daysand hasbeen calculated basis 91 days for the said period.The working capital days for the three months ended June 30, 2026 are not directly comparable with those presented for the annualperiods primarily due to the cyclic nature of the business and the concentration of revenue recognition towards the second half of the financial year.

Accordingly, the working capital days are higher as compared to the annual periods presented. For further details, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”on page 405.Notes:

1) Revenue from Operations means the Revenue from Operations for the year / period as appears in the Restated Consolidated Financial Statements.

2) Revenue Growth is calculated as a percentage of Revenue from Operations for current year minus Revenue from Operations for previous year divided by Revenue from Operations for previous year multiplied by 100.

3) Gross Profit is calculated as Revenue From Operation minus COGS; COGS is calculated as Cost of Materials Consumed plus Changes In Inventories of Finished Goods for the relevant year / period.

4) Gross Profit % is calculated as Gross Profit divided by Revenue from Operations.

5) EBITDA is calculated as Profit / (Loss) before Exceptional and Extraordinary items and Tax plus Finance Cost, Depreciation and Amortisation minus Other Income.

6) EBITDA Margin is calculated as EBITDA divided by Revenue from Operations.

7) PAT is Restated Profit for the year, net of tax as per Restated Consolidated Financial Statements.

8) PAT Margin is calculated as Restated Profit for the year, net of tax divided by Total Income.

9) Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) % is calculated as Earnings before Interest and Taxes (‘EBIT’) divided by Capital Employed;EBIT is calculated as EBITDA minus Depreciation and Amortization; Capital Employed is calculated as Total Equity minus Intangible Assets minus Capital Work-In-Progress plus Long Term and Short Term Borrowings and Deferred Tax Liability.

10) Return on Equity (ROE) % is calculated as Restated Profit for the year, net of tax divided by Average Shareholder’s Equity; Average Shareholder’s Equity is calculated as Total Equity as of the current year / period plus Total Equity as of the previous year/ period divided by 2.

11) Net Tangible Fixed Asset Turnover is calculated as Revenue from Operations divided by Property, Plant and Equipment for the relevant year / period.

41212) Working Capital Days is calculated as Inventory Turnover Days plus Trade Receivable Days minus Trade Payable Days. Inventory Days is calculated as Average Inventories divided by Cost of Goods Sold multiplied by number of days for the year / period. Trade Receivables Days is calculated as Average Trade Receivables divided by Revenue from Operations multiplied by number of days in the year /period.

Trade Payables Days is calculated as Average Trade Payables divided by Purchases and Incidental Expenses multiplied by number of days in the year / period.

Our revenue from operations in the second half of Fiscal 2026 contributed to 78.61% of the total revenue from operations in Fiscal 2026, while the first half contributed to 21.39%. Similarly, the revenue from operations in the three months ended June 30, 2026 is also low primarily attributable to the seasonal nature of our business and slower execution. Accordingly, the ratios like Working capital days, Net Tangible Fixed Asset turnover, ROE, ROCE computed for the three months ended June 30, 2026 may look optically different from that observed historically for full Fiscals. Further the loss in the three months ended June 30, 2026 is primarily attributed to lower revenue recognition in addition to expenses like employee benefits expenses and depreciation which are relatively uniformly distributed over thefullFiscal.

The revenue from operations in Fiscal 2026 was ₹ 3,626.48 million. The receivables outstanding as on March 31, 2026 was₹ 2,116.63 million. The receivables outstanding as of March 31, 2026 were elevated primarily because a significant portion of our Company’s annual revenue was recognized during the last quarter of the Fiscal 2026.

Consequently, the receivables days for Fiscal 2026 appear optically high when viewed on a full-year basis and do not reflect any underlying deterioration in collections or customer credit quality. Subsequent collections after the fiscal year-end have resulted in a substantial reduction in outstanding receivables, demonstrating the timing- related nature of the year-end balance. Inventory levels as of March 31, 2026 were higher primarily due to the deferment of execution of a significant export order to Fiscal 2027 on account of logistical disruptions arising from the West Asia crisis, which also impacted revenue recognition during Fiscal 2026. In addition, our Company strategically maintained higher inventory levels in anticipation of increased business opportunities in Fiscal 2027 and to mitigate potential supply chain disruptions.

Accordingly, the higher receivables and inventory balances as of March 31, 2026 were largely attributable to the timing of revenue recognition, execution delays in certain orders, and prudent inventory planning, and do not indicate any adverse change in the Company's payment terms with suppliers, credit terms extended to customers, collection efficiency, or overall working capital management.

Trade receivables as at June 30, 2026 were ₹968.53 million, compared to ₹2,116.63 million as at March 31, 2026.

The receivable days as at June 30, 2026 appear higher when annualised due to the lower revenue recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and do not indicate any deterioration in collection efficiency or customer credit quality.

Inventory levels as at June 30, 2026 were higher primarily due to the deferment of execution of a significant export

order to Fiscal 2027 on account of logistical disruptions arising from the West Asia crisis, as well as inventory maintained in anticipation of increased business opportunities and potential supply chain disruptions. Inventory days also appear higher due to the relatively lower revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2026, the high inventory balance of ₹ 3,196.33 million as at June 30, 2026 and the relative lower cost of goods sold during the three months ended June 30, 2026, corresponding to the lower revenue recorded during the quarter.

Accordingly, the higher receivable and inventory days, resulting in working capital days of 1,454 as at June 30, 2026, were primarily attributable to seasonality, execution delays in certain orders and prudent inventory planning, and do not indicate any material adverse change in our customer credit terms, collection efficiency or overall working capital management.

SIGNIFICANT FACTORS AFFECTING OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION The paragraphs below discuss certain factors that have had, and we expect will continue to have, a significant effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

1. Global and domestic demand for our products Our Company is a global defence electronics OEM with a global first approach. We have a diverse range of clientele spanning across both domestic and international markets. Our products have been sold globally to customers in EU, US and Israel enabling adoption in India through a global first approach, underscoring their 413acceptance in some of the world’s most advanced defence markets as per the F&S Report. In the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, in addition to supply within India, we supplied our products to overseas customers in countries including Armenia, Romania, Slovenia, USA, Morocco, South Korea, UAE and the Philippines. Our global customer base spans Armenia, Romania, Slovenia, USA, Morocco, South Korea, UAE, Philippines, Singapore, North Macedonia, Australia and Taiwan. As of June 30, 2026, we have deployed over 28,000 tactical systems and served customers across 24 countries. This extensive global deployment demonstrates that our technology is both battle-tested and globally trusted. During Fiscal 2024 to Fiscal 2026, our Company generated total sales of products and solutions of ₹ 12,050.68 million, of which exports contributed ₹ 5,357.00 million, accounting for 44.45% of the total sales of products and solutions during such period. For further details, see “Industry Overview –Tonbo Imaging’s Position in the Ecosystem” on page 231.

We design and manufacture strategic defence electronic systems that are free of ITAR restrictions, positioning us among the few global defence OEMs capable of supplying advanced technologies without geopolitical export limitations. Our full EO/IR portfolio is entirely free from ITAR, enabling it to serve non-aligned and export sensitive markets more flexibly, as we design and develop our products within India, making us one of the few global OEMs capable of supplying cutting-edge technologies without geopolitical export limitations.

The table below sets forth details of the customers served outside India and revenue generated from such customers in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

Particulars For the three months For the year ended March 31, ended June 30, 2026 2026 2025 2024 Revenue from customers located outside India (₹ 0.92 202.13 3,073.38 2,081.46 million) Revenue from customers located outside India as a 0.25 5.57 65.52 48.61 percentage of the revenue from operations (%) As put forth above, our approach so far has been focused on building these critical references outside India, even if it meant securing smaller initial orders or technology demonstrations. If we are unable to realise revenue from our international market despite our global footprint, our reputation and business may be adversely affected. We are also exposed to fluctuations in the performance of the defence electronics sector, in the aforementioned geographies, The defence electronics sector may perform differently in India and be subject to market and regulatory developments that are dissimilar to the markets in other parts of the world. Further, as other countries prioritize domestic defense production through mandates for domestic suppliers and offset obligations, the appetite for imported solutions may shrink or require deeper local partnerships. Simultaneously, domestic defense and paramilitary procurements in India, while growing, often involve highly price-sensitive bidding and lower margins. A shift in revenue mix away from exports towards Indian orders, particularly under increased domestic procurement mandates, could result in margin compression and impact our overall profitability profile.

As per the F&S Report, in recent years, geopolitical instability, including border conflicts, rising regional tensions, and emerging non-state threats, has led to accelerated procurement through emergency purchase mechanisms and fast-track acquisitions. These mechanisms are designed to address immediate operational needs, leading to sudden spikes in demand for defence electronics. While this has created short-term demand surges, such procurement cycles are episodic and may not be sustained if geopolitical tensions subside or governments revert to conventional, multi-year acquisition programs. The episodic nature of emergency procurement leads to fluctuations in order volumes and revenue, making it difficult for companies to forecast and plan long-term investments or resource allocation. Consequently, revenue visibility can be inconsistent, and conversion of opportunities from the broader Total Addressable Market (“TAM”) and Serviceable Addressable Market (“SAM”) often remains a prolonged, resource-intensive process in the absence of conflict-driven urgency. For further details, see “Industry Overview –Geopolitical Context” on page 164.

2. Cost and Availability of Critical Components The majority of our expense is attributed to the cost of materials consumed. For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, our cost of materials consumed was ₹834.62million, ₹ 1,655.54 million, ₹ 2,153.09 million and ₹ 2,132.75 million which constitutes 136.66%, 55.19%, 57.52% and 63.30%, of our total expenses, respectively. Our critical components for manufacturing our products include uncooled and cooled infrared focal plane arrays, OLED micro displays, high-performance optics, and specialized coatings. We typically procure such materials through purchase orders and do not enter into any long-term agreements with our suppliers. We are thus exposed to fluctuations in availability and prices of our raw materials and we may not be able to effectively pass on all increases in cost of raw materials to our customers, which may affect our margins 414and results of operations. The price of our raw materials may fluctuate due to several reasons including market fluctuations, currency fluctuations, production and transportation costs and changes in domestic and international trade policies. Any inability on our part to procure sufficient quantities of raw materials and on commercially acceptable terms, could lead to a change in our manufacturing and sales volumes.

3. Design and Development of our Proprietary technologies Our core strength lies in complete ownership of a large portfolio of unrestricted intellectual property with respect to infrared imaging, night vision, computer vision and deep learning, precision stabilization, autonomous fire control, directed energy, option communications, high altitude surveillance, missile seekers etc. We focus on design, creation and ownership of intellectual property. As per the F&S Report, our Company is one of few companies in India with no dependence on external technology partners as it owns 100% of its intellectual property since Fiscal 2024, pursuant to assignment agreements dated March 11, 2024 through which our Company purchased intellectual property from CEAQ Singapore. The proprietary technology ranges from optics to embedded software and electronics including critical subsystems for sighting systems, including proprietary video engines, AI-accelerated image processing, and sub-5 µrad multi-axis gimbal stabilization. For further details, see “Industry Overview –Strategic Comparison”on page 237and for details with respect to the intellectual property assigned/owned, please see “Our Business - Intellectual Property Rights” on page 277. This in-house development and control over our proprietary technologies—ranging from advanced sensors and AI algorithms to high-power microwave systems, enables rapid innovation, seamless integration into next-generation platforms, and full control over our technology roadmap.

As of the date of this Prospectus, our Company has five patents and has applied for four patents. These five patents were assigned to us by CEAQ Singapore, which also transferred a trademark and multiple design rights, including those for multi-sensor imaging and real-time analytics. The transfer of the trademark, one application for registration of a new trademark under Class 9 and registration of the patents are pending approval with the Registrar of Trademarks and Indian Patent Office, respectively. For further details on our IP portfolio, see “Our Business – Intellectual Property Rights” and “Government and Other Approvals – Intellectual Property” on pages 277and 455.

Our ongoing investment in R&D has been central to our growth, enabling us to develop cutting-edge technologies such as micro-scanned optics, thermal stereo vision, and high-accuracy pointing systems. Notable projects include advanced EO/IR gimbals, multi-spectral seekers, and robust free-space optical communication systems for defense applications. However, our future success depends on safeguarding our proprietary information; any leakage or unauthorized use could erode our competitive advantage and adversely impact our business.

Additionally, the need to continually invest in new technologies and adapt to industry changes may result in significant costs that could affect our profitability.

4. Highly regulated industry We operate in an industry which is highly regulated and our operations, including manufacturing are subject to stringent laws and regulations. We are required to obtain and maintain certain statutory and regulatory licences, registrations, permits and approvals under central, state and local government rules in India, generally for carrying out our business, like industrial licenses, environmental licenses etc.

The Government has introduced numerous policies under the ‘Make in India’ initiative and the ‘Atmanirbhar’ vision, introducing reforms to promote the indigenous design, development and manufacturing of defence equipment in the country, thereby reducing reliance on defence imports. The Ministry of Defence has introduced the SRIJAN portal to drive indigenization within the defence sector and over 30,000 previously imported items have been listed on the portal, inviting Indian manufacturers to participate in their production. The Ministry of Defence has set a target of achieving 70% self-reliance in weaponry by 2027, opening up substantial opportunities for industry stakeholders.

While the Government has implemented significant reforms in the defence sector, with a strong commitment to minimizing foreign dependence and building a robust domestic defence manufacturing base,in order to sell/export some of our products, our products must be approved by government agencies like the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (“DPIIT”) and Department of Defence Production, Ministry of Defence, or Directorate General of Foreign Trade in India and by the government agencies in the countries in which we do business. If there is any failure by us to comply with the applicable regulations or if the regulations governing our business are amended, it may reduce our revenue, increase costs, adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. For instance, in order to sell our products in foreign jurisdictions, we are required to 415obtain export authorisations from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (“DGFT”) as our products fall under the list of Special Chemicals, Organisms, Materials, Equipment, and Technologies (“SCOMET”). The export of SCOMET are permitted only if authorised by DGFT. There is no guarantee that in future we would always receive export authorisation to sell our products in other foreign jurisdictions which may impact our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. For details with respect to the risks associated with failure to comply with stringent regulations, see “Risk Factors -We operate in an industry which is highly regulated and are subject to stringent government regulations. If we fail to comply with the applicable regulations and rules prescribed by the Government of India and the relevant statutory or regulatory bodiesor fail to obtain, maintain or renew our statutory and regulatory licenses, permits and approvals required for our business, our results of operations and cash flows may be adversely affected.” on page 28.

Further, under India’s Defence Acquisition Procedure 2020 (“DAP 2020”), our Company’s supplies are categorised as “Indigenously-Designed, Developed and Manufactured” (“IDDM”) and must comply with the IDDM cap, which limits the permissible foreign or non-indigenous content in the final product to a maximum of 50% of the overall contract value. Further, in order to supply as an IDDM under DAP 2020, our Company must be owned and controlled by resident Indian citizens. Once a vendor elects—or is mandated—to bid under this category, it becomes legally bound to demonstrate, at every stipulated milestone, that at least half of the ex-factory cost originates from Indian design, development, production or value-addition, supported by detailed cost sheets, certification from statutory auditors, and audit rights in favour of the Ministry of Defence. Failure to adhere to the cap not only exposes the vendor to disqualification, liquidated damages, and forfeiture of performance guarantees under the Defence Procurement Contract but may also trigger blacklisting and debarment under the MoD’s Guidelines on Penalties and Debarment, thereby materially affecting the vendor’s eligibility for future government procurements. We are pursuing certain programmes under IDDM and thus are subject to the adverse impacts of failure to adhere to its cap and any change in such caps. For further details with respect to risks associated with changing laws, see “Risk Factors -Changing laws, rules and regulationsin India could lead to new compliance requirements that are uncertain.” on page 71.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES a. Basis of Preparation of the Restated Consolidated Financial Statements

1.1 Basis of Preparation and Presentation The Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value amount 1 Certain Financial Assets and Liabilities (including derivative instruments, if any), and 2 Defined Benefit Plans -Plan Assets The financial statements of the Group have been prepared to comply with the Indian Accounting standards ('Ind AS'), including the rules notified under the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

The Group's Financial Statements are presented in Indian Rupees, in Millions, which is also its functional currency.

Standards notified but not yet effective There are no new standards that are notified, but not yet effective, upto the date of issuance of the Financial Statements.

1.2 Basis of Consolidation The Restated Summary Statements comprise of the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Control is achieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.

Specifically,theCompany controlsaninvesteeif andonly iftheCompanyhas: - Powerovertheinvestee(i.e.existingrightsthatgiveitthecurrentabilitytodirecttherelevantactivities of the investee) 416- Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and - the abilityto use itspoweroverthe investee to affectitsreturns Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights result in control. To support this presumption and when the Company has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee,

including: - The contractual arrangementwith the other vote holdersof the investee - Rights arising from other contractual arrangements - TheGroup’s votingrights andpotentialvoting rights - The size of the Group’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of the holdings of the other voting rights holders

1.3 Basis of Consolidation (continued) The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the restated summary statements from the date the Group gains control until the datetheGroupceasestocontrol the subsidiary. The restated summary statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances. If a member of the Group uses accounting policies other than those adopted in the restated summary statements for like transactions and events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are made to the restated summary statements in preparing the restated summary statements to ensure conformity with the Group’s accounting policies.

Consolidation procedure:

(a) The restated summary statements have been prepared using the principles of consolidation as per Ind AS 110 –Consolidated financial statements, to the extent applicable.

(b) Combine like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows of the parent with those of its subsidiaries. For this purpose, income and expenses of the subsidiary are based on the amounts of the assets and liabilities recognised in the Ind AS restated summary statements at the acquisition date.

(c) Offset (eliminate) the carrying amount of the parent’s investment in each subsidiary and the parent’s portionof equityof each subsidiary.

(d) Eliminate in full Intra-Group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between entities of the Group (profits or losses resulting from Intra-Group transactions that are recognised in assets, such as inventory and property, plant and equipment are eliminated in full). Intra-Group losses may indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the Ind AS restated summary statements. Ind AS 12 Income Taxes applies to temporary differences that arise from the elimination of Profit and Loss resulting from Intra-Group transactions.

(e) Non-controlling interests in the net assets (excluding goodwill) of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the equityattributabletoshareholdersoftheCompany.Theinterestofnon-controlling shareholders may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis.

Profit or loss and each component ofother comprehensive income (OCI)are attributed to the equity holders of the Company and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the summary statements of subsidiaries 417to bring their accounting policies in line with the Group’s accounting policies. All Intra-Group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it: - Derecognisestheassets(includinggoodwill)andliabilitiesofthesubsidiary - Derecognisesthecarryingamountofanynon-controllinginterests - Derecognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity - Recognisesthefairvalueoftheconsiderationreceived - Recognisesthefairvalueofanyinvestmentretained - Recognisesanysurplusordeficitinprofitorloss - Reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognised in OCI to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

(a) Fair Value Measurement Some of the Group's accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non- financial assets and liabilities.

The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes a financial reporting team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements,includingLevel3fairvalues.

The financial reporting team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the financial reporting team assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that these valuations meet the requirements of Ind AS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the valuations should be classified.

Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows.

Level 1:quoted prices(unadjusted) in active marketsfor identical assetsor liabilities.

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (ie. as prices) or indirectly (ie. derived from prices) Level 3:Inputsfor the assetor liability thatare notbased on observable marketdata (unobservable inputs) When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses observable market data as far as possible if the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

(b) Current and Non-Current Classification

(d) Ithasnounconditionalright to deferthesettlementoftheliabilityforatleasttwelvemonthsafterthe reportingperiod. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assetsand liabilitiesare classified asnon-current assetsand liabilities.

The operating cycle is the time between acquisition of assets for processing / trading / assembling and their realization in cash and cash equivalents. The Group has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.

(c) Property, Plant and Equipment

(a) TangibleAssets Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost, net of recoverable taxes, trade discounts and rebates less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes purchase price, borrowing cost and any cost directly attributable to bringing the assets to its working condition for its intended use, net charges on foreign exchange contracts and adjustments arising from exchange rate variations attributable to the assets.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Subsequent costs relating to day-to-day servicing of the item are not recognised in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment; rather, these costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

Property, Plant and Equipment which are significant to the total cost of that item of Property, Plant and Equipment and having different useful life are accounted separately.

Other Indirect Expenses incurred relating to project, net of income earned during the project development stage prior to its intended use, are considered as pre-operative expenses and disclosed under Capital Work in Progress.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value Depreciation is recognized so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule Il of the Companies Act 2013, using the straight-line method, except in respect of leasehold improvement for which the Group has estimated the useful life of Ten years based on the initial lease term. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. Depreciation for assets purchased / sold during a period is proportionately charged for the period of use.

* The useful life has been assessed based on technical evaluation, taking into account the nature of the asset and the estimated usage basis management's best judgement of economic benefits from those classes of assets The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

419Derecognition An intangible asset is derecognized on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from continued use of intangible asset. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognized in statement of profit and loss when the asset is de- recognized.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of a Property, Plant and Equipment are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognised.

(a)Capital Work-in-Progress and Capital Advances Cost of Property, Plant and Equipment not ready for intended use, as on the balance sheet date, is shown as a "Capital Work-in- Progress". The Capital Work-in-Progress is stated at cost. Any expenditure in relation to survey and investigation of the properties is carried as Capital Work-in-Progress. Such expenditure is either capitalized as cost of the projects on completion of construction project or the same is expensed in the period in which it is decided to abandon such project. Any advance given towards acquisition of Property, Plants and Equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date isdisclosed as"Other Non-Current Assets" Capital Work-in-Progress (CWIP) comprises of expenditure incurred on assets that are not yet ready for their intended use as at the reporting date.

CWIP pertaining to intangible assets comprises expenditure incurred toward development of technology / software / products including employee benefit expenses of research and development personnel, technical consultancy charges, software -related costs and other directly attributable expenses pending completion and capitalization.

CWIP is carried at cost, comprising: a) Purchase price (including import duties and non-refundable taxes, net of discounts) b) Directly attributable costs necessary to bring the asset to its working condition for intended use (such as site preparation, installation, professional fees, and trial run expenses) c) Borrowing costs, where applicable, capitalized in accordance with the Company’s policy on borrowing costs

Treatment of Expenses: a)Expenditure directly attributable to construction or acquisition of qualifying assets is capitalized to CWIP until the asset is ready for its intended use. b)General administrative and overhead expenses are not capitalized unless they are directly attributable to the construction activity.

Foreign Exchange Differences:

Exchange differences arising on foreign currency monetary items relating to CWIP are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss in accordance with applicable accounting standards.

Capitalization: a)Upon completion and when the asset is ready for its intended use, the cost accumulated under CWIP is transferred to the relevant category of Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) or Intangible Assets.

b)Depreciation/amortization commences from the date the asset is ready for its intended use.

Review for Impairment:

CWIP is reviewed annually for impairment and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the 420carrying amount may not be recoverable. If such indication exists, impairment loss is recognized in accordance with the Company’s impairment policy.

a)Intangible Assets Intangible Assets are stated at cost of acquisition net of recoverable taxes, trade discount and rebates less accumulated amortisation/depletion and impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes purchase price, borrowing costs, and any cost directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use, net charges on foreign exchange contracts and adjustments arising from exchange rate variations attributable to the Intangible Assets.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the entity and the cost can be measured reliably.

Costofintangibleassetsunderdevelopmentasatthereportingdatearedisclosedasintangibleassetsunder development.

Amortization The amortization expenses on Intangible assets with the finite lives are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The Group's intangible assets comprises assets with finite useful life which are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected useful life as tabulated below:

Particulars Useful life Computer Software 3-5 years Intellectual Property 10 years

Note: Computer software licences are capitalised and amortised over the term of the licence.

The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with finite useful life is reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

Derecognition An intangible asset is derecognized on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from continued use of intangible asset. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognized in statement of profit and loss when the asset is de- recognized.

(d) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets -Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets Cash Generating Unit (CGU) For the purpose of impairment testing in accordance with Ind AS 36, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (Cash Generating Units).

The Group is engaged in the business of defence manufacturing, development of defence technologies and integrated system solutions. The operations of the Company and its foreign subsidiaries are highly integrated in terms of manufacturing processes, technology development, procurement, engineering support, program management and execution of customer contracts.

The Group’s manufacturing facilities, research and development infrastructure, intellectual property, and operational resources are utilized collectively across multiple defence programs and contracts. Cash inflows are generated from integrated defence projects and are not independently attributable to individual plants, products, subsidiaries or specific asset groups.

Accordingly, management has determined that there are no separately identifiable Cash Generating Units capable of generating independent cash inflows. Therefore, for the purpose of impairment assessment, the recoverable amount is determined at the level ofthe Group as a whole or at the level of integrated operations representing the smallest identifiable group of assets generating substantially independent cash inflows.

421The Group assesses at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that any Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets or group of assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to determine the extent of impairment, if any.

An impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss to the extent, asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is higher of an asset's fair value less cost of disposal and value in use. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risk specific to the assets An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have beendetermined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized directly in other comprehensive income and presented within equity.

The impairment loss recognised in prior accounting period is reversed if there has been a change in the estimate of recoverable amount. There are no losses from impairment of assets to be recognized in the financial statements.

(e) Inventories Inventories comprise of Raw Materials and Finished Goods are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

Cost of inventory comprises all costs of purchase including duties and taxes, freight inwards and other expenditure directly attributable to acquisition and to bring the inventories to its present location and condition. Cost of finished goods include cost of materials consumed and cost of conversion. Cost of raw materials is determined on FIFO basis.

Net realizable valuerepresentsthe estimated selling pricefor inventorieslessestimated cost necessary to make the sale.

(f) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the Restated Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities comprise of cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

(g) Share Capital Equity share capital represents the amount received from shareholders towards subscribed capital, net of share issue expenses (if any).

(h) Leases TheGroupassessesatcontract inception whethera contract is, orcontains, a lease i.e., if thecontract conveys the rightto control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange of consideration.

(i) TheGroup as a Lessee The Group, asa lessee, recognisesa right-of-use asset and a lease liability foritsleasing arrangements, ifthe contract conveysthe right to control the use of an identified asset.

The contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, if it involves the use of an identified asset and the Group hassubstantiallyalloftheeconomicbenefitsfromuseoftheassetandhasrighttodirect the use of the identified asset. The cost of theright-of-useasset shall compriseoftheamount oftheinitial measurementoftheleaseliabilityadjustedforanyleasepayments madeatorbeforethecommencementdate plus any initial direct costs incurred. The right-of-use assets is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulateddepreciation,accumulatedimpairmentlosses,itany,andadjustedforanyremeasurementofthe ease llability. The right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use asset.

422The Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date of the lease. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses incremental borrowing rate

(j) The Groupas a Lessor Leases for which the Group is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

For operating leases, rental income isrecognized on a straight-line basisover the term of the relevant lease.

(k) Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs include exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use.

Interest income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

All otherborrowingcosts arechargedto the Statement ofProfit and Lossfortheperiod forwhichtheyare incurred.

(l) Employee Benefits

(a) ShortTermEmployee Benefits The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees are recognised as an expense during the period when the employees render the services.

(b) Post-Employment Benefits

(a) DefinedContributionPlans The group recognises contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expense, when an employee renders the related service, if the contribution payable to the scheme for service received before the balance sheet date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognised as a liability. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the balance sheet date, then excess is recognised as an asset to the extent that the pre- payment will lead to a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.

(b) Defined Benefit Plans

(a) Gratuity Scheme: The group pays gratuity to the employees who have completed five years of service with the group at the time of resignation/superannuation. The gratuity ispaid @ 15 days basic salary and cearness allowances for every completed year of service as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The lability in respect of gratuity and other post-employment benefits is calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method and spread over the period during which the benefit is expected to be derived from employees' services.

Remeasurement gains and losses arising from adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur in Other Comprehensive Income.

(c) Other Long Term Employee Benefits Entitlement to annual leave is recognized when they accrue to employees.

(m) Taxation 423Income tax expense representsthe sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax

(a) Current tax Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the provisionsofIncome Tax Act, 1961. Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle the asset and the liability on a net basis.

(b) Deferred Tax Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.

Deferred tax assets are recognised and carried forward only if it is probable that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted as on the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off assets against liabilities representing current tax.

Current and deferred tax for the year Current and deferred tax is recognised in statement of profit and loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in Other comprehensive income. In this case, the tax is also recognised in Other comprehensive income.

(n) Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets Provisions are recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted usinga currentpretaxratesthatreflects, whereappropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the Ind AS Financial Statements but are disclosed in notes.

Contingent asset is neither recognized nor disclosed in the Ind AS Financial Statements.

(o) Revenue Recognition Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

The Group has generally typically controls the goods or services before transferring them to the customer.

Generally, control is transferred upon shipment of goods to the customer or when the goods is made available to the customer, provided transfer of title to the customer occurs and the group has not retained any significant risks of ownership or future obligations with respect to the goods shipped.

Revenue from rendering of services is recognised on when the services are rendered and related cost are incurred over time by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of performance obligations at the reporting period.

Revenue is measured at the amount of consideration which the Group expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring distinct goods or services to a customer as specified in the contract, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties (for example taxes and duties collected on behalf of the government) Consideration isgenerally dueupon satisfaction of performance obligations and a receivable is recognised when it becomes unconditional Export Incentives Export incentive revenues are recognized when the right to receive the credit is established and there is no significant uncertainty regarding the ultimate collection.

424Interest Income Interest Income from a Financial Asset is recognised using effective interest rate method.

Dividend Income DividendIncomeisrecognisedwhentheGroup'srighttoreceivetheamounthasbeenestablished.

Surplus / (Loss) on disposal of Property, Plant and Equipment / Investment Surplus or loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment or investment is recorded on transfers of title from the Group, and is determined as the difference between the sale price and carrying value of the property, plant and equipment or investment and other incidental expenses.

Rental Income Rental income arising from operating lease on investments properties is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease term except the case where the incremental lease reflects inflationary effect and rental income is accounted in such case by actual rent for the period.

Insurance Claim Claim receivable on account of insurance is accounted for to the extent the Group is reasonably certain of theirultimatecollection.

Other Income Revenuefromotherincomeisrecognizedwhenthepaymentofthatrelatedincomeisreceivedorcredited.

(p) Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency closing rates of exchange at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss except to the extent of exchange differences which are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on foreign currency borrowings that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets which are capitalized as cost of assets.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are recorded using the exchange rates at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates on the date when the fair value was measured. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e, translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in Other Comprehensive Income or the Statement of Profit and Loss are also recognised in Other Comprehensive Income or Statement of Profit and Loss, respectively).

(q) Government Grants and Subsidies Grants in the nature of subsidies which are non-refundable are recognized as income where there is reasonable assurance that the group will comply with all the necessary conditions attached to them. Income from grants is recognized on a systematic basis overperiodsinwhichtherelatedcoststhatareintendedtobecompensated by such grants are recognized Refundable government grants are accounted in accordance with the recognition and measurement principle of Ind AS 109, "Financial Instruments". It is recognized as income when there is a reasonable assurance that the group will comply with all necessary conditions attached to the grants. Income from such benefit is recognized on a systematic basis over the period of the grants during which the group recognizes interest expense corresponding to such grants.

(r) Financial Instruments Financial Assets

(A) InitialRecognitionandMeasurement 425All Financial Assets are initially recognised at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisitionorissue of Financial Assets, which are not at Fair Value through Profit and Loss, are adjusted to the fair value on initial recognition.

(B) Subsequent Measurement • FinancialAssetsmeasuredatAmortisedCost(AC) A Financial Asset is measured at Amortised Cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the Financial Asset give rise to cash flows on specified dates that represent solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

• FinancialAssetsmeasuredatFairValueThroughOtherComprehensiveIncome(FVTOCI) A Financial Asset is measured at FVTOCI if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling Financial Assets and the contractual terms of the Financial Asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that represents solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

• FinancialAssetsmeasuredatFairValueThroughProfitorLoss(FVTPL) A Financial Asset which is not classified in any of the above categories is measured at FVTPL. Financial assets are reclassified subsequent to their recognition, if the Group changes its business model for managing those financial assets. Changes in business model are made and applied prospectively from the reclassification date which is the first day of immediately next reporting period following the changes in business model in accordance with principles laid down under Ind AS 109-Financial instruments.

(C) Investments Investments are classified into Current or Non-Current Investments. Investments that are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than a year from the date of acquisition are classified as Current Investments. All other Investments are classified as Non-Current Investments. However, that part of Non- Current Investments which are expected to be realized within twelve months from the Balance Sheet date is also presented under "Current Investments" under "Current portion of Non-Current Investments" in consonance with Current/Non-Current classification of Schedule-l of the Act.

All the equity investments which are covered under the scope of Ind AS 109, 'Financial Instruments" are measured at fair value. Investment in mutual funds is measured at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). Trading Instruments are measured at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)

(D) Investment in Subsidiaries, Associates and Joint Ventures The Company has accounted for its investments in Subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures at cost less impairment loss (if any).

NON-GAAP MEASURES Gross Profit, Gross Profit Margin (%), EBITDA, EBITDA Margin (%), PAT Margin (%), Return on Equity (%), Return on Capital employed (%), Net Tangible Fixed Asset Turnover and Working Capital Days (together, “Non- GAAP Measures”), presented in this Prospectus are a supplemental measure of our performance and liquidity that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, Ind AS. Further, these Non-GAAP Measures are not a measurement of our financial performance or liquidity under Ind AS and should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to cash flows, profit/ (loss) for the years or any other measure of financial performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities derived in accordance with Ind AS.

Revenue from Operations Revenue from operations decreased by 22.69% from ₹ 4,690.80million in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 3,626.48 million in Fiscal 2026 primarily on account of delays in the execution of certain international orders due to disruptions arising from the West Asia conflict, as well as the deferment of certain anticipated orders from Fiscal 2026 to Fiscal 2027, which resulted in an impact on revenue recognition during the year.In particular, our international

order book of ₹59.03 million outstanding as at March 31, 2025 was executed in Fiscal 2026. Further, our Company received an order of ₹ 514.41 million from a customer in Fiscal 2026, which it could not execute in Fiscal 2026 due to delays attributable to the West Asia conflict. This order of ₹ 514.41 million forms part of the order book as of June 2026 and is expected to be executed in Fiscal 2027.

Other Income Other income increased by 37.29% from ₹ 53.10million in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 72.91million in Fiscal 2026, primarily on account of increase in interest earned from fixed deposits.

432Expenses Total expenses decreased by 19.87% from ₹ 3,743.49million in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 2,999.80millionin Fiscal 2026, primarily due to decrease in cost of materials consumed from ₹ 2,153.09 million in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 1,655.54 million in Fiscal 2026, decrease in finance cost from ₹ 177.42 million in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 106.16 million in Fiscal 2026 and decrease in other expenses from ₹ 809.70 million in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 309.24 million in Fiscal 2026.

Changes in inventories of finished goods Changes in inventories of finished goods increased by 211.88% from ₹ (106.98)million in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 119.69 million in Fiscal 2026, primarily due to increase in opening stock of finished goods from ₹ 54.20 million in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 161.18 million in Fiscal 2026.

Employee Benefits Expense Employee benefits expense increased by 11.59% from ₹ 444.35 million in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 495.83 million in Fiscal 2026, primarily on account of increase in expense on ESOP / (written back) from ₹ 102.40 million in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 122.80 million in Fiscal 2026, increase in contribution to provident and other funds from ₹ 20.67 million in Fiscal 2025to ₹ 33.08 million in Fiscal 2026, increase in staff welfare expense from ₹ 17.68 million in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 28.26 million in Fiscal 2026 and increase in insurance from ₹ 9.21 million in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 14.90 million in Fiscal 2026.

Finance Cost Finance cost decreased by 40.17% from ₹ 177.42 million in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 106.16 million in Fiscal 2026 primarily on account of decrease in interest expenses from ₹ 125.61 million in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 43.66 million in Fiscal 2026. In Fiscal 2026, our borrowings were ₹1,160.64 million, which were higher than borrowings of ₹

781.35 million in Fiscal 2025. However, our borrowings to fund working capital were higher only in the second half of Fiscal 2026, with relatively low utilisation in the first half, the average borrowing in Fiscal 2026 was lower than in Fiscal 2025, due to lower interest expenses since interest expenses are a function of actual borrowings for the period rather than end-of-period outstanding borrowings.

Depreciation and Amortisation Expense Depreciation and amortisation expense increased by 17.84% from ₹ 265.91 million in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 313.35 million in Fiscal 2026, primarily on account of increase in depreciation on property, plant and equipment from ₹

Other Expenses Other expenses decreased by 61.81% from ₹ 809.70 million in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 309.24 million in Fiscal 2026, primarily on account of adecrease in provision for warranty / (write back) from ₹ 81.49 million in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ (188.40) million in Fiscal 2026 due to substantial write back of warranty provision of earlier years; decrease in debtors written off from ₹ 190.51 million in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 33.45 million in Fiscal 2026; and decrease in sales and marketing from ₹150.29 million in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 55.71 million in Fiscal 2026.

Profit before tax Our profit before tax decreased from ₹ 992.65 million in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 699.59million in Fiscal 2026 for the reasons discussed above.

Tax Expense Current tax decreased from ₹ 218.50million in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 170.62million in Fiscal 2026 due to reduction in profit before tax. As a result, total tax expense amounted to ₹ 190.79 million in Fiscal 2026 as compared to ₹

265.07 million in Fiscal 2025.

433Restated profit for the year For the reasons discussed above, our profit for the year was ₹ 508.80 million in Fiscal 2026 as compared to ₹

727.57million in Fiscal 2025.

FISCAL 2025 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2024 Total Income Total income increased by 9.84% from ₹ 4,318.96 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 4,743.90 million in Fiscal 2025 primarily on account of an increase in revenue from operations.

We booked a revenue of ₹1,888.80 million in Fiscal 2024 and ₹ 2,676.93 million in Fiscal 2025 from this order. This order along with other orders received from customers in India helped our Company to increase revenues substantially in Fiscal 2024 and 2025. We do not expect growth rates of

342.22% to sustain since that growth rate was on a low revenue base in Fiscal 2023. *INR equivalent ₹ 4,527 million (based on exchange rate of INR 82.30 per USD as of 17 May 2023) Other Income Other income increased by 43.24% from ₹ 37.07 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 53.10 million in Fiscal 2025, primarily on account of an increase in interest earned from ₹ 33.39 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 41.30 million in Fiscal 2025, and a gain on settlement of liabilities and miscellaneous income in Fiscal 2025 of ₹ 8.30 million and ₹ 1.06 million, respectively.

Changes in inventories of finished goods Changes in inventories of finished goods decreased by (260.75)% from ₹ 66.55 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ (106.98) million in Fiscal 2025, primarily due to a decrease in opening stock of finished goods from ₹120.75 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 54.20million in Fiscal 2025.

102.40 million in Fiscal 2025, due to an increase in the number of employees from 167 in Fiscal 2024 to 258 in Fiscal 2025. This growth was concentrated in higher-value domains, specifically, project management, R&D/engineering, and mid-management positions which carried higher individual compensation packages.

Additionally, an increase in non-cash ESOP expenses accelerated the overall expense.

Finance Cost Finance cost increased by 130.98% from ₹ 76.81 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 177.42 million in Fiscal 2025 primarily on account of an increase in interest expenses from ₹ 53. 96 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 125.61 million in Fiscal 2025 and increase in financing charges to others from ₹ 16.40 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 42.25 million in Fiscal 2025.

2024. The amount was paid in tranches as set out below and the amount unpaid to CEAQ Singapore as on March 31, 2024 was classified as part of Other Current liabilities.

Financial year Amount paid Balance outstanding at end of (in ₹million) financial year (in ₹million) Fiscal 2024 510.97 1,320.94 Fiscal 2025 1,038.89 282.05 436Fiscal 2026 282.05 - The balance outstanding payable to CEAQ Singapore was the largest component of ‘Other payables’ as shown below.

(in ₹ million) Particulars Fiscal 2026 Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Payable to CEAQ Singapore on IP purchase Nil (282.05) 1,320.94 Payable to CEAQ Singapore (other than IP purchase) Nil (80.00) Nil Other Capital expense payable Nil (150.85) Nil Accrued expenses (103.36) (90.04) 54.98 Employee and other payables (9.81) (0.88) Nil Total (113.16) (603.82) 1,375.92 The fluctuation was largely due to the one time nature of the IP purchase from CEAQ Singapore in March 2024 where the payment was made across Fiscals 2024, 2025 and 2026. Following the progressive payment, the total balance outstanding payable to CEAQ Singapore reduced from ₹ 1,320.94 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 362.05 million in Fiscal 2025 and further reduced to ₹ Nil in Fiscal 2026. The reduction in Current Liabilities by ₹ 1,038.89 million in Fiscal 2025 on account of above was partly responsible for the negative operating cash flow of ₹1,361.19 million. The intellectual property purchase of ₹ 1,831.91 million, however, is a one-time transaction.

Trade receivable:

March 31, 2024 March 31, 2025 Difference Receivable (in ₹million) 936.43 2,103.12 1,166.69 Trade receivable as on March 31, 2025 has increased by an amount of ₹1,166.69 million as compared to March 31, 2024 and contributed to the negative operating cash flow. The reason for the higher receivable at the end of Fiscal 2025 was that a larger percentage of revenues were booked in the second half of Fiscal 2025 as compared to the first half of Fiscal 2025. Of the total Fiscal 2025 revenues, 45.23% (i.e., ₹2,121.48 million) was delivered in the first half of Fiscal 2025 and 54.77% (i.e., ₹ 2,569.32 million) was delivered in the second half of Fiscal

Purchase of intangible assets from CEAQ Singapore:

When our Company effected a product sale to any customer, it was required to pay royalty to CEAQ Singapore (10%-12% of revenue from operation). Our Company expects revenue from operations to grow in India. In 2023, a decision was taken to (a) raise significant domestic capital in the Company to capitalize on the India opportunity,

(b) transfer all Intellectual Property (“IP”) from CEAQ Singapore as was required by the incoming Indian investors at the Company. In line with this decision, IP was purchased by the Company from CEAQ Singapore for a consideration of ₹1,831.91 million. The purchase consideration was determined using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) valuation of the IP being purchased. As per the valuation report, the valuer adopted income approach – Multi Period Excess Earnings Method (MPEEM). The life considered for intangible assets for the purposes of valuation report to arrive at the fair value is 10 years.

439The IP purchase enabled our Company to own all IP without obligation of royalty payments. For details with respect to the IP, please see, “Our Business -Intellectual Property Rights” on page 277.

While the purchase from CEAQ Singapore was a related party transaction, it was a one-time purchase at arms- length, entered in compliance with requirements of the Companies Act, 2013 and ensured that there is no future, recurring royalty payments. Further, the technology portfolio that CEAQ Singapore had fitted well with our Company’s requirements and came without any restrictions on usage in different geographies. With the revenue substantially increasing, it was not economically viable to continue paying royalty to the related party and hence our Company chose to purchase the IP for a one-time consideration.

AUDITOR’S OBSERVATIONS Our Statutory Auditors have not included any qualifications, reservations or emphasis of matters in their audit reports in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES IN THE LAST THREE FINANCIAL YEARS There have been no changes in our accounting policies in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Our operational activities expose us to a variety of financial risks which includes market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Our focus is to ensure liquidity which is sufficient to meet our operational requirements. Our board of directors have established certain key managerial personnel who are responsible for developing and monitoring the risk management policies.

Market Risk Market risk is the risk arising from changes in market prices such as interest rates will affect our income or the value of our holdings of financial instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including longterm debt. We are exposed to market risk primarily related to interest rate risk, currency risk and the other prices risk and the market value of the investments. Thus, the exposure to market risk is a function of investing and borrowing activities and revenue generating and operating activities.

Foreign Currency Risk We are exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, USD being its prime foreign currency. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not our functional currency (INR). The risk is measured through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows.

Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Our exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to our debt obligations with floating interest rates and investments. However, we do not have any borrowings with floating rate of interest. All of our borrowings are on a fixed rate of interest. We have exposure to interest rate risk, arising principally on changes in Marginal Cost of Funds based Lending Rate (“MCLR”). We use a mix of interest rate sensitive financial instruments to manage the liquidity and fund requirements for its day to day operations like short term credit lines besides internal accruals.

Other Price Risk Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market traded price. Our Company is exposed to price risk arising mainly from investments in equity/equity-oriented instruments recognized at FVTPL/FVTOCI.

Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising from counterparty failure to repay or service debt according to the contractual terms or obligations. Credit risk encompasses of both, the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration of risks. We measure the expected credit loss associated 440with its assets based on historical trend, industry practices and the business environment in which the entity operates or any other appropriate basis. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. Financial instruments that are subject to concentration of credit risk principally consist of trade receivables, investments, derivative financial instruments and other financial assets. None of the financial instruments of our Company results in material concentration of credit risk.

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge its obligation to our Company. Our Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other financial assets measured at amortized cost. Our Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls. Our Company assesses and manages credit risk based on internal credit rating system. Internal credit rating isperformed for each class of financial instruments with different characteristics. Our Company assigns the following credit ratings to each class of financial assets based on the assumptions, inputs and factors specific to the class of financial assets: (i) Low credit risk, (ii) Moderate credit risk, (iii) High credit risk.

Based on the business environment in which our Company operates, a default on financial assets is considered when the counterparty fails to make payments within the agreed time period as per a respective contract. Loss rates reflecting defaults are based on actual credit loss experience and after considering the difference between current and historical economic conditions.

Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that our Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Our Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to our Company's reputation.

The management monitors monthly rolling forecasts of our Company's liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. This is generally carried in accordance with standard guidelines.

Our Company has liquidity reserves inthe form of highly liquid assets in the form of cash and cash equivalent, deposit accounts, etc.

For further information, see “Restated Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 44 - Financial Risk Management” on page 385.

SIGNIFICANT ECONOMIC CHANGES To the knowledge of our management, other than as described in “Risk Factors” and “- Significant Factors Affecting our Results of Operationsand Financial Condition” on pages 21and 413, respectively,there are no other significant economic changes that materially affect or are likely to affect income from continuing operations.

UNUSUAL OR INFREQUENT EVENTS OF TRANSACTIONS Except as described in this Prospectus, to our knowledge, there have been no “unusual” or “infrequent” events or transactions that have in the past or may in the future affect our business operations or future financial performance.

KNOWN TRENDS OR UNCERTAINTIES Our business has been affected and we expect will continue to be affected by the trends identified above in “ – Significant Factors Affecting our Results of Operations and Financial Condition” and the uncertainties described in “Risk Factors” beginning on pages 413and 21. To our knowledge, except as described or anticipated in this Prospectus, there are no known factors which we expect will have a material adverse impact on our revenues or income from continuing operations.

FUTURE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COST AND INCOME Other than as described in “Risk Factors”, “Our Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 21, 245 and 405, respectively, there are no known factors that might affect the future relationship between costs and revenues.

441NEW PRODUCTS OR BUSINESS SEGMENTS Except as set out in this Prospectus, we have not announced and do not expect to announce in the near future any new business segments other than in the normal course of business.

COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS We operate in a competitive environment. See “Our Business”, “Industry Overview” and “Risk Factors” on pages 245, 160and 21, respectively, for further information on competitive conditions that we face.

EXTENT TO WHICH MATERIAL INCREASES IN NET SALES OR REVENUE ARE DUE TO INCREASED SALES VOLUME, INTRODUCTION OF NEW PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OR INCREASED SALES PRICES Changes in revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and last three Fiscals are as described in, “–Three months ended June 30, 2026”, “–Fiscal 2026 compared to Fiscal 2025” and “–Fiscal 2025 compared to Fiscal 2024” above on pages 431, 432and 434, respectively.

SEGMENT REPORTING Our Company is engaged in a single line of business of vision technology based products and solutions and operates from a single geographical location (Bangalore, Karnataka, India). The Chief Business and Revenue Officer (CRO) monitors the business as a whole for the purposes of making decisions on resource allocation and performance assessment. Accordingly, the Company has only one reportable segment, and the segment reporting requirements under Ind AS 108 - “Operating Segments” are not applicable beyond the entity-wide disclosures presented in the Restated Consolidated Financial Statements.

SIGNIFICANT DEPENDENCE ON SINGLE OR FEW CUSTOMERS/SUPPLIERS We typically enter into contracts with our customers through tenders obtained via a competitive bidding process.

Accordingly, our relationship with our customers are short term and typically for the manufacture of a specific product, but our revenue from operations has been materially concentrated in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the last three Fiscals. Some of our tenders garner us customers who contribute significantly towards revenue from operations for particular periods.

SEASONALITY/ CYCLICALITY OF BUSINESS While our business is not seasonal, the nature of business is cyclical in nature on account of it being geopolitically driven. Funding for defence projects is subject to annual or multi-year government budgets, which can be delayed or reprioritised due to shifting political or economic circumstances. As per the F&S Report, in recent years, geopolitical instability, including border conflicts, rising regional tensions, and emerging non-state threats, has led to accelerated procurement through emergency purchase mechanisms and fast-track acquisitions. These mechanisms are designed to address immediate operational needs, leading to sudden spikes in demand for defence electronics. While this has created short-term demand surges, such procurement cycles are episodic and may not be sustained if geopolitical tensions subside or governments revert to conventional, multi-year acquisition programs. The episodic nature of emergency procurement leads to fluctuations in order volumes and revenue, making it difficult for companies to forecast and plan long-term investments or resource allocation. Consequently, revenue visibility can be inconsistent, and conversion of opportunities from the broader Total Addressable Market (“TAM”) and Serviceable Addressable Market (“SAM”) often remains a prolonged, resource-intensive process in the absence of conflict-driven urgency.For further details, see “Industry Overview –Geopolitical context” on page 164.

442For further details, see “Our business is cyclical in nature on account of it being geopolitically driven. Further, tender-based procurement cycle results in poor revenue visibility, which may have an adverse impact on our business, financial stability, results of operations, investor confidence, and the ability to secure financing for growth or innovation.” SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS AFTER JUNE 30, 2026 THAT MAY AFFECT OUR FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS No circumstances have arisen after June 30, 2026 which materially and adversely affect or are likely to affect our operations, trading or profitability, or the value of our assets or our ability to pay our material liabilities within the next twelve months. There has been no material development since June 30, 2026.

504RESTRICTIONS ON FOREIGN OWNERSHIP OF INDIAN SECURITIES Foreign investment in Indian securities is regulated through the Industrial Policy, 1991 of the Government of India and FEMA. While the Industrial Policy, 1991 prescribes the limits and the conditions subject to which foreign investment can be made in different sectors of the Indian economy, FEMA regulates the precise manner in which such investment may be made. Under the Industrial Policy, unless specifically restricted, foreign investment is permitted (in all sectors) in Indian companies, to any extent and without any prior approvals, but the foreign investor is required to follow certain prescribed procedures for making such investment. The RBI and the concerned ministries/ departments are responsible for granting approval for foreign investment, if required.

The Government of India makes policy announcements on FDI through press notes and press releases. The regulatory framework, over a period of time, thus, consists of acts, regulations, press notes, press releases, and clarifications among other amendments. The DPIIT issued the Consolidated FDI Policy, which subsumes and supersedes all previous press notes, press releases and clarifications on FDI issued by the DPIIT that were in force and effect prior to October 15, 2020. TheFDI Policy will be valid until the DPIIT issues an updated circular.

In addition, pursuant to the Consolidated FDI Policy read with the Press Note No. 2 (2026 Series), dated March 15, 2026, issued by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, Government of India, a person resident outside India may make investments in India, subject to certain terms and conditions, and further provides that an entity of a country, which shares land border with India or where the beneficial owner of an investment into India is situated in or is a citizen of any such country, can invest only under the GoIapproval route. Further, in the event of transfer of ownership of any existing or future foreign direct investment in an entity in India, directly or indirectly, resulting in the beneficial ownership falling within the aforesaid restriction and/or purview, such subsequentchange in the beneficial ownership will also require approval of the GoI. Pursuant to the FEMA Rules, a multilateral bank or fund, of which India is a member, shall not be treated as an entity of a particular country nor shall any country be treated as the beneficial owner of the investments of such bank of fund in India.

These investment restrictions shall also apply to subscribers of offshore derivative instruments.

Further, in accordance with the amendment to the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014 vide

notification dated May 4, 2022 issued by Ministry of Corporate Affairs, a declaration shall be inserted in the share transfer form stipulating whether government approval shall be required to be obtained under Foreign Exchange Management (Non-debt Instruments) Rules, 2019 prior to transfer of shares, as applicable. Each Bidder should seek independent legal advice about its ability to participate in theOffer. In the event such prior approval of the Government of India is required, and such approval has been obtained, the Bidder shall intimate our Company and the Registrar to the Offer in writing about such approval along with a copy thereof within the Offer Period.

Under the Consolidated FDI Policy, infusion of fresh foreign investment up to 49%, in a company not seeking industrial license or which already has government approval for FDI, will need to submit a declaration with the

Ministry of Defence in cases of: (a) change in equity/shareholding pattern; or (b) transfer of stake by existing investor to new foreign investor, within a period of 30 days of such change. Any proposal for raising FDI beyond 49% from such companies can be made through the government approval route. Further, transfer of shares between an Indian resident and a non-resident does not require the prior approval of the RBI, provided that (i) the activities of the investee company are under the automatic route under the FDI Policy and transfer does not attract the provisions of the SEBI Takeover Regulations; (ii) the non-resident shareholding is within the sectoral limits under the FDI Policy; and (iii) the pricing is in accordance with the guidelines prescribed by the SEBI/RBI.

For details of the aggregate limit for investments by NRIs and FPIs in our Company, see “Offer Procedure –Bids by Eligible Non-Resident Indians” and “Offer Procedure –Bids by Foreign Portfolio Investors” on pages 489 and 490, respectively.
