Key triggers for future price performance:
• Strong order inflows with healthy pipeline of orders worth Rs 2,000-3,000 crore in the next two to three years provides strong visibility
• Defence electronics provides an opportunity of ~Rs 1.5 lakh crore in the next four to five years led by armed forces’ requirement of advanced systems
• Fire control system for BrahMos missile, avionics for LCA, RWR for fighter aircraft, ELINT for airborne and ground platform and radar subsystems are key orders in the pipeline in FY23 for DPIL
• Large part of electronic components (used in Indian defence platforms) are supplied by foreign OEMs. As indigenisation efforts continue, future procurement will see a large portion of defence electronics sourced locally
