Future Growth: Backed by Strong Order Books

AXISCADES Technologies Limited has outlined an aggressive growth trajectory, targeting over 40% year-on-year growth in its core defense, aerospace, and ESAI sectors for FY26. This ambition is supported by a robust order book: Rs. 1,260 crores for FY26 and Rs. 1,827 crores for FY27, providing significant visibility. The company's long-term “Power 930” initiative aims for Rs. 9,000 crores ($1 billion) in revenue by 2030, with a substantial acceleration expected after FY27, driven by infrastructure readiness and new customer wins. Execution for defense orders is back-ended to H2 FY26, signaling accelerated revenue and profitability ahead.

Driving Profitability Through Strategic Initiatives

AXISCADES anticipates substantial margin expansion, projecting an EBITDA margin of around 19.5% in core verticals through FY28. For FY26, a 300 basis points improvement in EBITDA is guided, with core sector margins targeting 20-21% from FY27. This growth is fueled by strategic global partnerships, including MBDA and Indra, and new hyperscaler engagements. Investments in world-class infrastructure and talent upskilling are critical enablers, ensuring readiness and improved efficiency. The “real impact” on revenue and margins is expected to accelerate from Q3 FY26 onwards.

AXISCADES Technologies Limited presents a clear, ambitious roadmap for the future. With concrete growth targets, expanding margins, and strategic investments in infrastructure and partnerships, the company appears well-positioned to capitalize on opportunities in its core defense, aerospace, and ESAI segments.
