Zen Technologies Q2 revenue nearly doubles to Rs 345.13 crore

Zen Technologies Limited reported its highest consolidated quarterly revenue of Rs 345.13 crore in Q2FY27, up 98.8% year on year, after starting deliveries against Fast Track Procurement orders received last year. Operational EBITDA rose 103.9% to Rs 131.99 crore, while management said those deliveries began ahead of contractual timelines.

Why did Zen Technologies Q2 revenue rise?

Zen Technologies' Q2FY27 revenue rose because it began delivering Fast Track Procurement orders received last year. Chairman and Managing Director Ashok Atluri said these deliveries started ahead of contractual timelines, contributing to consolidated revenue from operations of Rs 345.13 crore, compared with Rs 173.57 crore in Q2FY26.

Management attributed its delivery speed to ownership of core technology. Atluri said that without a foreign licensor, Zen Technologies can alter products within weeks when the Army changes a requirement, rather than waiting through procurement cycles; the company reported a 38.2% operational EBITDA margin in Q2FY27.

How did Zen Technologies' Q2 profitability change?

Zen Technologies reported operational EBITDA, or earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation, of Rs 131.99 crore in Q2FY27, up 103.9% from Rs 64.74 crore in Q2FY26. Profit after tax adjusted for non-controlling interest, or NCI, increased 50.7% to Rs 89.54 crore from Rs 59.40 crore.

The profitability measures increased at different rates during the quarter. Operational EBITDA margin rose to 38.2% in Q2FY27 from 37.3% a year earlier, while EBITDA margin was 41.1%, compared with 45.2%; total operating expenses increased to Rs 213.14 crore from Rs 108.83 crore.

How did Zen Technologies' Q2 compare with Q1?

Total revenue increased to Rs 361.84 crore from Rs 160.79 crore over the sequential comparison, reflecting the higher level of execution disclosed in the consolidated profit and loss statement.

Operational EBITDA rose to Rs 131.99 crore in Q2FY27 from Rs 38.72 crore in Q1FY27, and its margin increased to 38.2% from 27.3%. Profit after tax adjusted for NCI rose to Rs 89.54 crore from Rs 34.46 crore, while interest cost was Rs 1.13 crore against Rs 1.09 crore in Q1FY27.

What did Zen Technologies report for H1FY27?

Zen Technologies reported H1FY27 revenue from operations of Rs 486.77 crore, up 46.71% from Rs 331.79 crore in H1FY26. Q2FY27 sales of Rs 345.13 crore represented the larger portion of H1FY27 sales, compared with Rs 141.64 crore in Q1FY27.

Operational EBITDA for H1FY27 increased 31.09% to Rs 170.71 crore, while profit after tax adjusted for NCI rose 15.73% to Rs 124.00 crore. The H1FY27 operational EBITDA margin was 35.1%, below 39.0% in H1FY26, and EBITDA margin declined to 39.5% from 46.6% despite total revenue rising to Rs 522.64 crore from Rs 378.89 crore.

What did Zen Technologies report on orders and demand?

Zen Technologies reported Q2FY27 order inflow of Rs 481.81 crore and a consolidated order book of Rs 1,375.70 crore as at September 30, 2026. The order book included Rs 995.00 crore of equipment orders and Rs 380.70 crore of annual maintenance contract, or AMC, orders.

The consolidated order book increased from Rs 1,239.02 crore at June 30, 2026, after new orders exceeded the Rs 345.13 crore executed during Q2FY27. Of the September 30 order book, domestic orders totalled Rs 1,283.84 crore and export orders were Rs 91.86 crore.

What procurement backdrop did Zen Technologies identify?

Zen Technologies said the Defence Acquisition Council had recently accorded Acceptance of Necessity to capital-acquisition proposals, with around 82% earmarked for sourcing from the domestic defence industry. The company said it has fielded products in categories covered by this procurement environment.

Management linked this setting to its core-technology ownership and the ability to adjust products for Armed Forces requirements. That assessment accompanied Q2FY27 order inflow of Rs 481.81 crore, rather than a financial target or forecast from Zen Technologies.

Conclusion

Zen Technologies' Q2FY27 performance reflected a substantial increase in execution versus both Q2FY26 and Q1FY27. Revenue from operations reached Rs 345.13 crore, operational EBITDA was Rs 131.99 crore and profit after tax adjusted for NCI was Rs 89.54 crore, with management identifying Fast Track Procurement deliveries as the immediate driver.

The next disclosed measure to watch is conversion of the Rs 1,375.70 crore order book reported at September 30, 2026, including Rs 995.00 crore of equipment orders, into future execution. Management has also identified domestic sourcing within recently accepted capital-acquisition proposals as a factor shaping the opportunity pipeline.
