The details
- AITMC Ventures (AVPL International) announced its financial results for the fiscal year ending March 2026.
- The company's net profit was ₹14.2 Cr, nearly unchanged from ₹14.1 Cr in FY25, a rise of just 1%.
- Operating revenue grew 26.3% to ₹106.8 Cr, up from ₹84.5 Cr in the previous year.
- Revenue came from sale of services (₹70.48 Cr) and product sales (₹36.28 Cr), including drones and IT equipment.
- Total income, including other income of ₹51 Lakh, was ₹107.27 Cr, up 23.8% from FY25.
- Total expenditure jumped 34.7% to ₹88.3 Cr, driven by a new cost of ₹27.2 Cr for IT equipment purchases.
- EBITDA was ₹29.01 Cr, almost flat compared to ₹29.07 Cr in FY25, while the EBITDA margin fell to 27.2% from 34.4%.
- The company operates over 70 drone training centres across 16 states and had earlier attempted a ₹200 Cr IPO.
The bigger picture
- The flat profit despite strong revenue growth signals rising costs, especially from IT equipment purchases that were nil last year.
- The company's EBITDA margin compression from 34.4% to 27.2% shows profitability pressure as it scales.
- A planned merger with DroneAcharaya and an IPO attempt both fell through, indicating strategic uncertainty.
