157 pc surge in Q4FY25 standalone PAT for Zen Technologies

Hyderabad, Nay 19 (UNI) Zen Technologies, India's leading anti-drone technology and Defence training solutions provider, on Monday said it recorded 157 per cent jump in Standalone net profit for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2025 at 84.92 crore compared to 33.04 crore in the corresponding quarter of the last financial year.
Standalone revenue during the quarter rose 116 per cent to Rs 293.50 crore as against Rs 135.71 crore in Q4FY24, the Hyderabad-based company said in a statement here.
However, for the full year (FY25), the company’s standalone Profit After Tax (PAT) rose 103 per cent to Rs 262.95 crore as against Rs 129.23 crore in FY24.
Revenue during the year stood at Rs 930.67 crore as compared to Rs 430.28 crore in FY24, registering a 116 per cent increase Y-0Y.
Commenting on the results, Ashok Atluri – Chairman and Managing Director, said: “Zen Technologies has surpassed its guidance for FY25, achieving a top line of over Rs 900 crores, along with EBITDA and PAT margins exceeding the guided 35 percent and 25 percent respectively-marking the highest-ever quarterly and annual performance in the company’s history.
During the quarter, we secured a significant order from the Ministry of Defence for Integrated Air Defence Combat Simulators (IADCS) for the L70 gun, which we expect to execute within this financial year, he said.
On the acquisition front, we have made substantial progress, he said that we acquired a 76 per cent stake in ARIPL in February 2025, with the remaining 24 per cent to be acquired in the current financial year. ARIPL brings deep expertise in marine and naval simulation, and we see strong potential for synergies.
With the strategic acquisition of a 51 per cent stake in Vector Technics - one of the few indigenous manufacturers of critical drone components - we have entered the core of the drone eco-system. Further, we have acquired 45.33 per cent in Bhairav Robotics, a company focused on robotics and autonomous weapons systems. These acquisitions mark a significant step forward in the direction of next-generation defence technologies and future-ready national security solutions, said Ashok.
Our liquidity position remains robust at around Rs 1,037 crores, reflecting our disciplined working capital management and enabling us to pursue growth initiatives and invest strategically in future capabilities. We continue to evaluate inorganic growth opportunities to further strengthen our portfolio. We have significantly increased our R&D investments, not only to enhance current offerings but also to build a pipeline of innovative products that will address emerging defence requirements, he said.
In line with this, we are planning an expansion of our existing R&D centre with an investment of close to Rs 70 crores, to further accelerate product development and create new opportunities for long-term growth, he said.
We have delivered independent counter-drone systems for the first time in India. This system proved very effective in the recent operations conducted by the Armed Forces, he said.
We will continue to deliver solutions that enhance operational readiness and contribute to national security. We take pride in serving the nation and stand ready to support our security forces in all circumstances, he added.
With a dedicated R&D (recognised by the Ministry of Science and Technology) and production facility in Hyderabad, the company has applied for over 172+ patents and shipped more than 1,000 training systems around the world.
