Ashok Atluri, chairman and managing director, said the company's Q2 revenue and profit were impacted by procedural delays in order finalisations. The fundamentals of our business remain solid, with strong liquidity and increasing value addition from subsidiaries. Looking ahead, we expect stronger subsidiary contributions as execution scales up and synergies are fully realised.
Zen’s financial position remains robust with liquidity of over Rs 1,100 crore as of 30 September 2025.
'In the aftermath of Operation Sindoor, the Government of India initiated a series of emergency procurement measures to address immediate operational requirements. As a result, the closure timelines for certain regular Requests for Proposals (RFPs) have been temporarily delayed. This development is procedural in nature and does not impact the underlying demand or long-term revenue visibility. The deferred orders remain active within the procurement system and are expected to be released in due course. We remain confident that the temporary headwinds being witnessed in FY26 will give way to a stronger performance in the years ahead,' Atluri noted.
Zen Technologies provides defence training and anti-drone solutions. It builds training systems for imparting defense training and measuring combat readiness of security forces. With a dedicated R&D (recognized by the Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India) and production facility in Hyderabad, the company has applied for over 180+ patents and shipped more than 1,000 training systems around the world.
Zen Technologies announced that it has completed the acquisition of the remaining 24% equity stake in Applied Research International (ARIPL), following its earlier purchase of a 76% stake in February 2025. With this transaction, ARIPL has now become a wholly owned subsidiary of Zen Technologies.
This strategic acquisition strengthens Zen Technologies' position as one of India's most diversified simulation and defence technology companies. Full ownership of ARIPL enables Zen to extend its simulation expertise into the naval and marine domains, complementing its existing leadership in land and air defence solutions.
With this integration, Zen Technologies will now be able to deliver comprehensive, multi domain simulation and training systems that cater to the evolving requirements of the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force. This acquisition represents a key step in Zen's mission to provide advanced, indigenously designed defence technologies that enhance preparedness, reduce foreign dependency, and improve operational readiness across Indian armed forces
The order is for the supply of state-of-the-art Anti-Drone Systems with “Hard Kill” capabilities.
The contract, which is to be executed within 12 months, marks a strategic milestone in Zen Technologies’ long-standing partnership with India’s defence establishment and reinforces the company’s leadership in the Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) segment.
Zen’s advanced Anti-Drone Systems are designed to detect, track, and neutralize hostile unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using cutting-edge sensor fusion, electronic warfare, and kinetic response technologies. The inclusion of “Hard Kill” capabilities — enabling the physical destruction of enemy drones — positions the system among the most effective counter-drone technologies available globally.
“The growing threat of drone intrusions, especially near border areas and strategic infrastructure, has created a strong demand for reliable C-UAS solutions. This order further validates Zen’s indigenous capabilities in delivering robust and mission-critical defence technologies,” the company said in a statement.
Zen Technologies is a pioneer and leader in providing world class state-of-the-art defence training and anti-drone solutions and has a proven track record in building training systems for imparting defense training and measuring combat readiness of security forces.
