Astra Microwave Products Ltd shares in focus as stock exchanges clear Scheme of Arrangement with no adverse remarks
Why did Astra Microwave Products Ltd shares jump today?
Astra Microwave Products Ltd shares moved up 0.53% on Thursday, trading at ₹1,577.65 as of 04:51 PM. The positive movement came after the company announced that it has received observation letters from both stock exchanges with no adverse observations or no objection in relation to its proposed Scheme of Arrangement. Specifically, BSE Limited issued an observation letter with 'no adverse observations' and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited issued a letter with 'no objection' regarding the proposed demerger plan between Astra Microwave Products Limited and Astra Space Technologies Private Limited.
The Scheme of Arrangement relates to the demerger of Astra Microwave Products Limited (the Demerged Company) and Astra Space Technologies Private Limited (the Resulting Company) and their respective shareholders under Sections 230 to 232 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. The Board of Directors of AMPL had earlier approved this Scheme of Arrangement on 10th June, 2026, and the company had informed the exchanges about this decision at that time.
Getting a clean nod from both BSE and NSE is a significant milestone for the company, as it clears a key regulatory hurdle in the demerger process. This means the stock exchanges have reviewed the scheme and found no issues, paving the way for the next steps in completing the arrangement. Investors viewed this development positively, reflecting confidence that the demerger is progressing smoothly toward implementation.

Astra Microwave Products Ltd Financials
In CroresAstra Microwave Products Ltd reported revenue of ₹488.24 Crores and a profit of ₹105.98 Crores in the period ending March 2026, followed by revenue of ₹176.66 Crores and a profit of ₹12.35 Crores in the period ending June 2026. On a sequential basis, this represents a significant decline, with revenue falling approximately 63.8% and profit dropping nearly 88.3% between the two periods. It is worth noting that the March 2026 figures likely reflect full fiscal year FY2026 performance, while the June 2026 figures correspond to Q1 of FY2027, meaning the apparent sharp decline largely reflects the difference between annual and quarterly reporting rather than a true operational downturn. Nonetheless, the Q1 FY2027 figures indicate a modest profit margin of approximately 7%, compared to a margin of roughly 21.7% for FY2026, suggesting compressed profitability in the quarter. Investors would need subsequent quarterly data to determine whether this reflects a seasonal or project-cycle dip or a sustained trend of declining margins for the company.
