Multibagger Defence Electronics and Aerospace Company Secures Lifetime Defence Manufacturing Licence: Share Rise Over 16%

Apollo Micro Systems Ltd has received a major regulatory approval from the Government of India, marking a significant step in its evolution into a full-scale Defence manufacturer.

The company has been granted a lifetime licence by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, allowing it to manufacture a wide range of ammunition and advanced weapon systems.

Licence Details and Scope

The licence, issued on April 10, 2026, authorises Apollo Micro Systems Ltd to operate as a manufacturer in high-value defence categories. The approval covers both Category I and Category II arms of calibre above 12.7 mm.

Under the licence, the company is permitted to manufacture and integrate systems such as missiles, anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs), torpedoes, underwater mines, and associated safety arming mechanisms. It also includes production of aerial bombs, rockets, and loitering munitions, along with countermeasure systems such as chaffs, flares and decoys.

Manufacturing Facilities in Hyderabad

The company will undertake manufacturing and proof-testing activities at its existing facilities in Hyderabad, Telangana. These include units located in Hardware Park, Mamidipally, and IDA Mallapur, Uppal, both in the Ranga Reddy district.

These facilities are already equipped for advanced electronics and defence subsystem manufacturing, and are expected to be scaled up to support full-system integration and production.

Strategic Shift in Business Model

The licence represents a pivotal shift in Apollo Micro Systems Ltd’s business model. Historically focused on embedded systems and subsystems for defence applications, the company is now positioned to move up the value chain into end-to-end manufacturing of complete weapon platforms.
