RRP Defense reports Rs 1.60 Cr Q1 loss; withdraws Paras Green UAV acquisition
RRP Defense reported a standalone net loss of Rs 1.60 Cr for Q1 FY27 on negligible revenue of just Rs 0.01 Lakhs, compared to a loss of Rs 0.20 Cr in the year-ago quarter. The Board has officially withdrawn the proposal to acquire Paras Green UAV Private Limited, a strategic move originally approved in July 2025. Additionally, the company adjusted Rs 2.45 Cr of deferred revenue expenditure directly against reserves to comply with Ind AS 8. The corporate office is also being shifted from Gurugram to Navi Mumbai to support its defense sector pivot.

- Widening net losses
- Cancellation of strategic acquisition
- Significant accounting adjustment against reserves
- High valuation (P/B 71.7) relative to fundamentals
