Astra Microwave Products Ltd.

Milestones

1991
Telecom

Though Astra Microwave was founded with an interest to work on Defence opportunities, the telecom revolution in India coinciding with the company’s inception meant the early years was marked by a lot of requirements coming in from the customers who needed products for setting up their telecom base stations. It helped the company get a head start and also provided it with required time to make its mark in the tough defence electronics market.

1993
Radar Electronics

Components and sub-systems for Radars were always a focus area for the company and the first few components that were built by Astra found their way into sub-systems of Radars developed by DRDO.

1993
Strategic Electronics & Telemetry

While addressing the requirements of the telecom industry, the promoters were also working with DRDO to get opportunities to design products for military applications. The first opportunities were received by the company to build products for Telemetry / Missile application.

1995
Went Public

Good orders from Telecom combined with fact that potential opportunities were already being generated in the defence area meant that there was an immediate need for Astra to invest in infrastructure, people and test facilities. This was the reason the company went public quite early. Astra Microwave was listed in the stock exchange in India in 1995.

1997
First R&D deliveries to Defence

1997 marked the first deliveries of modules that found application in Telemetry/Missile Electronics for a Surface to Air Missile program of the DRDO.

2000
Electronic Warfare

Astra Microwave started working in the complex field of EW in the year 2000. From a nominal start, Astra Microwave today has grown to be one of the important partners for DRDO, having supplied many critical and wide band products for EW application, especially in the Naval domain.

2003
Space Electronics

The invitation from ISRO for the Indian Private Industry to enter into the Space business in 2004 provided the right impetus for Astra Microwave to take up challenging work for components and sub-systems for Satellite Application.
