The Board of Directors at Data Patterns (India) Limited, a leading Defence and Aerospace Electronics Systems provider, has approved the limited review financial results for the quarter ending 30 June 2025.

Total revenue for Q1 FY26 stood at Rs 1.10 billion, down 5.6 per cent from Rs 1.16 billion in the same quarter last year. Revenue from operations declined by 4.6 per cent year-on-year, reaching Rs 993.3 million compared to Rs 1.04 billion in Q1 FY25.

Operational EBITDA for the quarter was Rs 321 million, a decrease from Rs 372 million recorded in the previous year. Profit Before Tax (PBT) fell to Rs 340 million from Rs 435 million in Q1 FY25.

Profit After Tax (PAT) came in at Rs 255 million, representing 25.7 per cent of operating revenue, down from Rs 328 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year.

Despite the decline in financial performance, the company reported a healthy order book. As of 30 June 2025, the order book stood at Rs 8.14 billion, up from Rs 7.30 billion on 31 March 2025. Including received and negotiated orders to date, the total order position amounts to Rs 10.77 billion.

The results reflect a temporary slowdown, though the strengthening order pipeline suggests continued long-term momentum in India's strategic defence and aerospace electronics sector.
