Astra Microwave Shares Rise After Rs 2,205 Crore HAL Order for Uttam Radar
Astra Microwave Products shares surged around 12-14% to a 52-week high after securing a Rs 2,205 crore order from Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for the Uttam Radar programme. The five-year contract involves supplying 122 Advanced Array Assembly Units and 121 Interface Frames, nearly doubling Astra's existing order book of Rs 2,610 crore. HAL, a government-owned aerospace and defence company, awarded the contract. The order significantly boosts Astra's revenue visibility and investor sentiment, contributing to its multibagger stock performance over recent years.
