The full read
DCX Systems ended FY26 on a sour note. The defence electronics firm posted a consolidated net loss of ₹77.11 million, a reversal from the ₹388.76 million profit recorded in FY25. Revenue fell to ₹7,398.72 million from the previous year's ₹11,120.60 million. Auditors pointed to geopolitical tensions as the cause for the slump in export sales. The standalone business stayed in the black with a profit of ₹331.62 million, but that figure is lower than the ₹356.66 million reported last year. The company also appointed internal auditors and refreshed internal policies. For a firm that relies on large order wins, the inability to convert those into bottom-line growth this year is the primary concern.
