Astra Microwave Products Ltd. ( (IN:ASTRAMICRO) ) has issued an announcement.

Astra Microwave Products has received in-principle board approval to explore the demerger of its space, meteorology and hydrology operations into a separate listed company, Astra Space Technologies Private Ltd., while the existing entity will focus solely on defence and aerospace. The restructuring is intended to unlock shareholder value by giving each business sharper strategic focus, dedicated management, clearer capital allocation and greater transparency, positioning both platforms to pursue sector-specific growth and attract new investors.

Management highlighted that the space and weather segment is already a scaled, profitable and capital-intensive business, underpinned by rising demand for satellite design, assembly and data applications across upstream hardware, midstream integration and downstream analytics. By separating this unit, Astra aims to better harness global NewSpace opportunities, leverage its two-decade track record in certified, cost-competitive space hardware, and create a structure that can more effectively draw capital and talent as Indian and global markets open simultaneously.
