. @TonboImaging Lists At 66% Premium On BSE, 65.7% On NSE. 👇 Defence tech company Tonbo Imaging made a strong market debut, listing at ₹1,162 on the BSE, up 66% from its IPO issue price of ₹700. On the NSE, shares listed at ₹1,160, up 65.71%, valuing the company at ₹6,656 Cr. The ₹852 Cr IPO was subscribed 135.9X and comprised entirely an offer for sale (OFS), meaning Tonbo will receive no proceeds. Its cofounders collectively pocketed ₹137.2 Cr through share sales. Despite the strong debut, FY26 operating revenue fell 22.7% YoY to ₹362.6 Cr, while net profit declined 30% to ₹50.8 Cr. In Q1 FY27, the company reported a net loss of ₹17.7 Cr. 🔗 Can Tonbo sustain its market momentum despite the financial slowdown?

“We don’t make the weapon; we make the eyes and the brains of the weapon.” 👁🧠⚔️ From countering drone swarms in Operation Sindoor to preventing elephant collisions on Assam’s railway tracks, Bengaluru’s Tonbo Imaging is writing the Indian deeptech playbook: battlefield-proven sovereign IP that scales into massive civilian markets. Ahead of its ₹852 Cr IPO, the electro-optics company shows exactly how defense innovation creates commercial multipliers: • Battlefield proven: Thermal targeting for anti-aircraft guns, WaveStrike high-power microwaves against drone swarms, and missile seekers for Bharat Dynamics programmes. • Dual-use multiplier: The same thermal sensors and edge vision powering Arjun Mk1A weapon stations are now being piloted with Indian Railways and adapted into ADAS for heavy trucks and mining fleets. • Commercial traction: ~₹290 Cr signed order book (excluding classified defence pipelines). Revenue trajectory: ₹362 Cr in FY26 → targeting ₹1,000 Cr by FY28. • Institutional conviction: ~₹400 Cr pre-IPO participation from SBI Mutual Fund, Amansa, ValueQuest, HDFC Life and others. True Atmanirbhar defence isn’t only about platforms. It’s won in electro-optics, edge compute and sensor silicon. When sovereign defence IP crosses into civilian infrastructure, technology stops being a cost centre and becomes a national productivity multiplier. @TonboImaging @SpokespersonMoD @makeinindia CC @rajnathsingh @AshwiniVaishnaw #MakeInIndia #DefenseTech #DeepTech #TonboImaging #AtmanirbharBharat

The tech that helped India counter Pakistan’s drone swarms during Operation Sindoor is now getting deployed for civilian tech by alerts on elephants on Assam’s railway tracks and driver-assist systems in highways. Bengaluru’s Tonbo Imaging builds thermal sights, missile seekers, targeting systems for the armed forces. Now the same capability is being piloted with Indian Railways to alert loco pilots to wildlife at night, and adapted for trucks, cars and mining equipment to spot pedestrians and cattle beyond the reach of headlights. via @businessline
