Apollo Micro Systems has acquired a 34% stake in Shauryastra Defence Systems Private Limited, a newly incorporated defence technology and development company.
The company subscribed to 3,400 equity shares of Shauryastra Defence Systems at a face value of ₹10 each, involving a total cash investment of ₹34,000. The acquisition gives Apollo Micro Systems a 34% stake in the company’s paid-up equity share capital.
According to the exchange filing, Shauryastra Defence Systems was incorporated on 21 August 2026, as a dedicated technology and development entity focused on addressing complex and futuristic operational requirements of the Indian Armed Forces.
The venture will be led by Dr V. K. Saraswat, former Secretary of the Department of Defence R&D and former Director General of DRDO. It will leverage Apollo Micro Systems’ established capabilities in the design, development, manufacturing and integration of defence technologies.
Apollo Micro Systems said the investment marks a natural extension of its four-decade journey in defence electronics towards developing complete weapon system solutions. The move is also aligned with the government’s Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative and is expected to strengthen the company’s long-term position as an end-to-end solutions provider in the defence sector.
The transaction was completed through a cash subscription to the Memorandum of Association at face value, and no additional governmental or regulatory approvals were required.

According to Sudeep Shah, Head of Technical and Derivatives Research at SBI Securities, Apollo Micro Systems has been consolidating within the ₹374– ₹467 range since late May. The 20-day and 50-day moving averages have flattened, signalling a sideways trend, while the ADX also remains flat, indicating subdued volatility and a lack of clear directional momentum. Meanwhile, the MACD line has flattened below the zero line, further reinforcing the prevailing sideways bias. A decisive breakout on either side of this range could provide directional cues for the stock’s next move, Shah said.
