Swan Defence Discloses ~₹6,500 Cr Order Book in Corporate Presentation
Swan Defence and Heavy Industries released its H1FY27 corporate presentation detailing a firm order book of ~₹6,500 Cr (including government subsidies), providing significant revenue visibility against TTM revenue of ₹312 Cr. Key orders include 6 chemical tankers for Rederiet Stenersen valued at $227 Mn (~₹2,160 Cr) and 4 dual-fuel ammonia carriers for Energy ONE. The company projects revenue conversion of the current order book at 6% in FY27, 23% in FY28, reaching 100% by FY31 under Ind AS 115 input method accounting. Additionally, the presentation indicates restated financials reflecting the TOPL merger and completion of obligations under the resolution plan.

Swan Defence and Heavy Industries (formerly Reliance Naval) has issued a notice for its 29th AGM on September 02, 2026, seeking shareholder approval for a massive fundraise of up to ₹4,000 Crore. This proposed amount represents approximately 29% of the company's current market capitalization (₹13,825 Cr) and is over 14 times its TTM revenue of ₹282 Cr. The capital is intended to be raised via QIP, debt, or preferential issues to support the revival of its Pipavav shipyard operations. Given the company's high debt of ₹2,788 Cr and negative net worth relative to its scale, this infusion is critical for operational stability.
