Digilogic Systems IPO: Defence Tech Firm Opens Anchor Book Today; Price Band Fixed at ₹98–₹104

Digilogic Systems, an engineering company that provides mission-critical simulation and embedded systems to India's defence organizations, is tapping the capital markets to fund its next phase of expansion. The IPO is a combination of a fresh issue of ₹69.68 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) of ₹11.33 crore.

The company has shown a powerful financial recovery in FY25, reporting a total revenue of ₹72.06 crore (a 40% growth over the previous year) and a net profit of ₹8.11 crore. Digilogic is an empanelled "Development cum Production Partner" (DcPP) for the DRDO, which gives it a significant edge in the indigenous defence manufacturing landscape.

As of today, Monday, January 19, 2026, the Grey Market Premium (GMP) is trading at approximately ₹5, indicating a conservative but positive listing expectation of around 5% above the upper price band of ₹104.

Important Note for Investors

Strategic Growth: About ₹51.74 crore (nearly 74% of the fresh issue) is dedicated to setting up a new manufacturing and environmental test facility in Hyderabad. This is expected to significantly reduce the company's dependence on outsourcing for high-end testing.

Customer Concentration Risk: While the company has long-standing relationships with the Indian Ministry of Defence and PSUs, its top 3 customers account for over 70% of its total revenue. Any delay in government procurement cycles could impact earnings.

Profitability Concerns: Some analysts have noted that the sudden jump in profits in FY25 (from ₹2.45 crore to ₹8.11 crore) appears exceptionally high. Investors should evaluate if this growth is sustainable or a one-time surge due to specific project completions.

Cash Flow Volatility: The company reported negative operating cash flows in FY25 (₹-10.52 crore), which is common in project-based defence businesses but requires careful monitoring of their working capital management.
