While revenue for the quarter was modest, primarily due to temporary delays in customer approvals, these are expected to normalize in the coming quarters.

We continue to see a healthy pipeline of opportunities and are now receiving larger-value complete system contracts. Our order book currently stands at around Rs 2,654 crore (including the orders negotiated and pending receipt), providing healthy revenue visibility. Our foray into counter-drone business and export initiatives continue to gain traction. Backed by the Government's continued focus on indigenous defence manufacturing, we remain confident of achieving our full-year guidance and creating long-term value for our stakeholders.?
