Data Patterns Q3 Results: Robust Growth and Strategic Momentum
By Kaushik 07, February 2026.
The Defence and Aerospace sector is currently witnessing a massive transformation, and at the heart of India’s indigenous electronics revolution is Data Patterns (India) Limited. With the release of their Q3 FY26 financial results, the company has once again signaled its position as a heavyweight in the vertically integrated defense electronics space.
For investors and industry enthusiasts, these results aren’t just about the numbers—they reflect the accelerating pace of India’s “Atmanirbhar Bharat” (Self-Reliant India) mission.
Quick Look: Q3 Financials
Data Patterns has delivered a performance that balances operational efficiency with strategic scaling. Here is a breakdown of the key metrics compared to the same period last year:
Metric Q3 FY26 (Current) Growth (YoY)
Revenue from Operations ₹162.5 Crore ~18% Increase
EBITDA ₹68.2 Crore ~22% Increase
Net Profit (PAT) ₹54.8 Crore ~25% Increase
Order Book ₹1,150+ Crore Sustained Pipeline
The company continues to maintain high EBITDA margins, hovering around the 40-42% mark. This is particularly impressive in the defense manufacturing sector, where supply chain complexities often squeeze profitability.
Key Growth Factors
What exactly is powering these numbers? It’s a combination of high-end engineering and a shift in the defense procurement landscape.
Powering Growth with Indigenous Strength
1.Data Patterns doesn’t just assemble parts; they design the building blocks. From Radars and Electronic Warfare suites to Satellite systems, their IP-led model ensures that a larger chunk of every contract stays as profit. As the Indian government prioritizes local sourcing, Data Patterns is often the first name on the list for complex electronic sub-systems.
2.Broad-Based Order Inflow
The Q3 results highlight a healthy mix of orders from various wings of the defense forces. * * * *Significant contributions came from:
Radars for Naval and Ground Platforms: Continued delivery of surveillance and tracking systems.
*Avionics: Electronic heartbeats for indigenous fighter jets and trainers.
Space Systems: Growing participation in ISRO projects and private space ventures.
3.Operational Performance
Despite global fluctuations in semiconductor availability, Data Patterns’ strategic inventory management has allowed them to meet delivery timelines. Their move toward a new, larger manufacturing facility is also beginning to show results in terms of throughput capacity.
Management Perspective on the Future
Management remains optimistic about the remainder of the fiscal year. The focus is shifting toward export markets and larger system-level contracts. Historically, Data Patterns acted as a sub-system provider, but they are increasingly bidding as a “Lead System Integrator.” This shift significantly increases the ticket size of potential contracts.
”Our Q3 performance reflects our commitment to innovation and execution. With a robust order book and several high-value tenders in the pipeline, we are well-positioned to close the year on a high note.” — Summary of Management Commentary.
Impact on Key Stakeholders
For the casual observer, Data Patterns is a proxy for India’s high-tech defense growth. The Q3 results confirm that the company is not just riding a wave of government spending but is building a sustainable, high-margin business.
Investors should keep an eye on the “Order-to-Bill” ratio. While the revenue growth is steady, the real story lies in the massive tenders expected to open in Q4 and early FY27.
