Order book and management commentary
Data Patterns said its order book, including orders received and those under negotiation, stood at approximately ₹2,697.83 crore. This included orders on hand worth ₹1,742.07 crore and orders for which negotiations had been completed but were yet to be received, worth ₹955.76 crore. The order book stood at ₹926.48 crore as of April 1, 2026.
The company received fresh orders worth ₹929 crore in Q2 FY27, taking its order inflows for the first half of the financial year to ₹1,046 crore, nearly three times the level recorded in H1 FY26.
Chairman and Managing Director Srinivasagopalan Rangarajan said business momentum during the first half was encouraging, particularly on the order inflow front. He added that the company was seeing opportunities for larger, complete-system contracts across radar, electronic warfare and communication systems.
Rangarajan said the second quarter was muted from a revenue perspective following the exceptionally strong execution in Q2 FY26. With several programme milestones progressing and deliveries expected to pick up, the company expects H2 FY27 to be stronger than H1 FY27.
Data Patterns said it remains confident of its business outlook, is on track to achieve its full-year targets and has kept its FY27 guidance unchanged.
