ideaForge Board Approves Plan to Raise ₹500 Crore

The decision signals a push to scale defence R&D, expand manufacturing and fund international growth, subject to shareholder and regulatory approval.

Overview

  • The board approved the proposal on Wednesday, June 3, to seek up to ₹500 crore in one or more tranches using routes such as preferential allotment, private placement or a QIP.
  • The company may issue equity shares, preference shares or fully or partly convertible debentures as part of the fundraise, with timing and pricing not disclosed in the filing.
  • The move follows a financial rebound in Q4 FY26 when ideaForge reported a net profit of ₹59.9 crore and its highest quarterly operating revenue of ₹141 crore.
  • For FY26 the company booked a record order intake of about ₹530 crore and converted nearly 40% of its open order book into revenue in the March quarter.
  • The announcement drove a strong market reaction, with the stock hitting a 52-week high and locking a 5% upper circuit, and the firm says proceeds would likely be used to scale advanced defence R&D, manufacturing and overseas sales.
