Indrajaal Hits ₹100 Cr Revenue, Eyes ₹300 Cr on Counter-Drone Push

One platform for many sensors

Traditional counter-drone tools usually rely on a single method to jam or shoot down a threat, which works poorly when friendly and hostile drones share the same airspace. Indrajaal's answer is SkyOS, a platform that merges real-time data from radars, radio-frequency sensors and cameras to detect, track and identify aerial threats. It can recommend countermeasures or execute them automatically.

The company also sells Ranger, a mobile counter-drone vehicle. Once a hostile drone is identified, the system can jam its signals, use Repulsor to interfere with its navigation, or launch SkyCop, an autonomous interceptor drone.

Expansion plans and risks

Indrajaal says its systems are deployed at installations of the Indian Army, the Indian Navy and agencies under the Ministry of Home Affairs. It earns money from hardware, software, installation and long-term maintenance. India's defence tech sector is projected to reach a $19 Bn opportunity by 2030.

The fresh capital is meant to expand manufacturing, strengthen R&D, grow headcount from about 100 to nearly 160 and enter Middle Eastern and European markets. Longer term, the company wants to manage civilian drone corridors and autonomous aerial transport.

Challenges remain. Government contracts bring long validation windows and multi-year sales cycles that can strain working capital, while a customised business model may pressure margins. Domestic rivals and global defence players with deeper pockets are also entering the segment, so reaching beyond defence contracts to private enterprises and foreign buyers will be key to hitting the ₹300 Cr goal.
