Dear Shareholders,
Every nation's security begins at its borders, but true defence
extends beyond them. With a clear focus on indigenisation, innovation and global
leadership, India is not only securing its borders but also positioning itself as a key
player in the international defence ecosystem. On the other hand, India's increasing
technological confidence, global collaborations and its readiness to contribute
meaningfully to the global space community are unlocking a new chapterone where
India not only aims to explore but to lead.
Reflecting on the past year, I am pleased to share that Paras Defence
and Space Technologies has stood tall amidst these changes, growing in tandem with the
nation and driving progress. Our expertise is built on a strong foundation of innovation,
resilience and responsibility. We are consistently strengthening our core competencies to
deliver world-class & proven performance while remain dedicated to pioneering advanced
solutions for defence and space applications.
Bolder, Better, Built to lead
The increase in the defence budget reflects the nation's
commitment to strengthening its military foundation. With a strong focus on innovation,
new-generation technologies and the development of defence corridors, the Indian defence
sector is steadily evolving into a self-reliant ecosystem. Simultaneously, India is
charting a bold course in space exploration, with an array of visionary missions and
projects approved to enhance its position in global space exploration.
Paras is poised to capitalise on these opportunities by leveraging its
robust research and development capabilities and manufacturing prudence. Our diversified
portfolio includes submarine periscopes, high power laser systems, hyperspectral cameras,
electromagnetic protection solutions and border defence systems; while we aim to develop
and offer cutting edge technologies in the domain of RF & Microwave from our
subsidiary, Paras Anti-Drone Technologies Private Limited. As the markets continue to
evolve, we are also foraying into quantum communications and sensing.
Catering to the Needs of Bharat
Technology has become central to the global defence and space
landscape. At Paras, our strong emphasis on technology development distinguishes us as a
prominent IDDM Company. We have deepened our focus on strengthening indigenous
capabilities to further contribute to the Make in India' initiative and
promoting Atmanirbharata.
Our efforts are geared towards delivering end-to-end solutions in
critical segments such as electro-optics, defence electronics and EMP protection. Further,
we are making significant strides in emerging domains like drone and anti-drone
technologies and space optics. By harnessing the power of talent, technology and trust, we
are driving excellence to ensure national security to emerge as a trusted partner in
global value chains.
Indigenously developing solutions to enhance SECURITY
At Paras, We combine advanced engineering and high-impact technology
with innovation and manufacturing excellence to deliver solutions that support the
development of a self-reliant India. Our portfolio includes ultra-precision optics for
satellites and missiles, advanced optronic systems for surveillance and targeting and
robust defence engineering solutions that include electronics, mechanical systems and
electromagnetic protection. By contributing towards national security, enabling space
exploration and driving the growth of critical infrastructure both in India and on the
global stage, we strive to maintain our position as the one-stop for everything critical.
Through our core verticals-- Optics and Optronic Systems, and Defence
Engineering-- we are offering fully integrated, indigenously developed solutions for a
diverse array of applications. We are among the few companies in India that specialise in
the high-end manufacturing for defence and space applications, and we are actively
involved in some of the key aerospace and defence projects commissioned by the Indian
government.

Prepared for the Next
Today, India is steadily advancing on the path of self-reliance, and we
are growing in harmony with the progress. We remain optimistic about exploring new
frontiers in defence and space technologies, focusing on supporting critical national
programmes through innovation-driven solutions.
We also recognise significant potential in expanding global
partnerships and exports, particularly in areas where our niche engineering strengths
align with evolving international defence requirements. With a solid foundation, a robust
order pipeline and continued investments, we strive to deliver sustainable value for all.
