Avantel Limited, a defence and aerospace technology company headquartered in Visakhapatnam with a corporate office in Hyderabad, has further strengthened its order book with a significant new contract from the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE). The company has received an amended purchase order worth ₹9.88 crore (inclusive of taxes) for the supply of goods, with a delivery timeline extending until September 30, 2026.

In line with contract protocols, Avantel is required to submit a 3 per cent Performance Security Deposit Bank Guarantee, underscoring the stringent compliance measures demanded by strategic government contracts. This new order adds to the company’s already healthy business pipeline, pushing its total order book to approximately ₹210 crore, affirming its steady momentum in securing critical projects within India’s defence and strategic ecosystem.

This development comes on the back of recent success with other high-value contracts. Just weeks prior, on August 25, 2025, Avantel secured a domestic contract from the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) worth ₹3.36 crore (inclusive of taxes) for a strategic task involving research, development, and software engineering.

That project focuses on the development, porting, and testing of a SATCOM waveform (SDR) with subsequent field validation. To be implemented using a HUB, this project is vital in enhancing secure and indigenous satellite-based communication capabilities for the Indian defence sector.

Scheduled for completion by April 27, 2026, it highlights Avantel’s growing presence in cutting-edge software-defined radio and SATCOM technologies—both of which are vital for operational communication superiority in modern warfare and strategic operations.

Established in 1990 under the leadership of Vidyasagar Abburi, Avantel has steadily evolved from a specialised communications firm into a multi-domain technology player serving India’s most sensitive sectors.

Its core expertise lies in advanced SATCOM platforms, radar subsystems, network management solutions, and software-defined radios—all of which are critical for modern defence and aerospace operations. The company’s portfolio is widely acknowledged for high reliability, cutting-edge design, and mission-critical performance, aspects underscored by its AS 9100D and ISO 9001:2015 certifications.

These certifications not only reinforce Avantel’s commitment to quality but also enable its participation in highly restricted supply chains, both domestic and global, where stringent aerospace and defence quality standards are mandatory.

In addition to its established product lines, Avantel continues to be actively engaged in R&D-driven projects that directly contribute to India’s strategic self-reliance objectives. Its contributions align with broader national goals under the “Atmanirbhar Bharat” and “Make in India” initiatives, ensuring indigenous development of critical communication and defence technologies.

The company’s sustained engagement with premier agencies such as DRDO, DAE, and other key institutions demonstrates its trusted position as a technology partner for India’s defence-industrial ecosystem. The execution of projects such as SATCOM waveform testing or high-reliability subsystem manufacturing not only provides Avantel with a steady revenue pipeline but also ensures long-term strategic relevance.

From a market perspective, Avantel’s stock has been on a remarkable performance trajectory, reflecting investor confidence in its operational and technological prowess. The share currently trades at a level that is 96.6 per cent higher than its 52-week low, delivering striking multi-bagger returns.

Over the past three years, it has achieved an extraordinary 800 per cent return, while the five-year horizon has seen gains of an exceptional 2,470 per cent. Such sustained upward momentum underscores both the company’s financial health and the market’s bullish outlook regarding its growth potential in the high-value defence and aerospace technology sector.

Avantel Limited stands as a notable example of how an Indian technology company can successfully combine domain expertise, strategic contracts, and innovation-led growth to carve out a strong position in defence and aerospace.

The recent orders from both DAE and DRDO further strengthen its credentials as a vital supplier to India’s most sensitive strategic programs, establishing it firmly as a long-term player in building critical indigenous capabilities. The combination of a robust ₹210 crore order book, strong financial returns, and a growing pipeline of defence technology projects positions Avantel as a high-potential company in India’s ever-expanding strategic and defence domain.
