₹20.81 crore Purchase order from L&T for SATCOM services

What's new

  • Secured ₹20.81 cr SATCOM order from Larsen & Toubro.
  • Second large order this month after ₹83.80 cr Zetwerk win.
  • Execution timeline: by July 2027.

Why this matters

At over 7% of estimated annual revenue, this is a material win that diversifies Avantel's client base with a premier engineering conglomerate. Combined with the Zetwerk order, it signals sustained demand and is likely to drive upward estimate revisions.

What we're watching

  • Consolidation of order book and visibility for FY27.
  • Potential for more SATCOM orders from L&T or other major players.
  • Impact on revenue and earnings in upcoming quarters.

The full read

Avantel has landed a ₹20.81 crore firm purchase order from Larsen & Toubro for SATCOM services, its second large contract this month. The domestic deal, inclusive of taxes, must be executed by July 2027. At over 7% of estimated annual revenue, it's a material win that diversifies the client roster with a premier engineering conglomerate. Combined with the ₹83.80 crore Zetwerk order disclosed in late June, Avantel is building a commercial order book that provides meaningful revenue visibility. The stock trades at a trailing P/E of 307, but the earnings base is small—latest quarterly sales were ₹70 crore with net profit of ₹5 crore. These orders, if executed as planned, could meaningfully boost FY27 revenue. The open question is whether this signals a sustained pipeline or a lumpy burst. For now, two large wins in one month from blue-chip clients is a strong signal.
