ICICI Securities research report on Solar Industries
Solar Industries (SOIL) surprised with an investment (undisclosed amount) in an unarmed aerial solutions (UAS) company ZMotion Autonomous (ZM) incorporated in CY18. This is the second announced start-up investment by SOIL after a strategic stake (Rs175mn) into Skyroot – a space start-up helping ISRO with propulsion systems (SOIL incidentally also received ToT on 7th Apr’22 (propellant casting for Dual Pulse propulsion system). The rationale for the strategic investment has been shown as “will strengthen SOIL’s initiative to introduce weaponised unmanned aerial vehicle (UAVs) for offensive and counter drone system for defensive roles”.
