Shares of Droneacharya Aerial Innovations Ltd have surged nearly 18% over the past four trading sessions, with the stock hitting ₹71.53 on May 12, 2025, up 4.99% intraday. The rally comes as defence and surveillance stocks remain in focus amid heightened geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan.
The stock, which closed at ₹60.66 on May 7, has steadily gained traction after the Indian armed forces launched Operation Sindoor in response to a terror attack in Pahalgam. With multiple ceasefire violations by Pakistan and the confirmed use of drones in airspace intrusions, companies engaged in drone technologies and surveillance systems have seen renewed investor interest.
Droneacharya Aerial Innovations, with a market cap of ₹163 crore and a 12-month revenue of ₹41 crore, specializes in drone pilot training, aerial surveillance, defence drone solutions, and space tech products. It offers defence-grade FPV and Kamikaze drones, which are particularly relevant in modern tactical warfare and border monitoring operations.
Over the last week, reports have confirmed several Pakistani drone intrusions across Jammu & Kashmir and Punjab regions. The Indian Army has used quick-reaction air defence systems to neutralize such threats. As defence readiness tightens, companies like Droneacharya that are actively involved in both drone technology and training have gained attention from retail and institutional investors.
Droneacharya opened at its upper circuit of ₹71.53 on Monday and remained locked there through the session. The stock has a 52-week range of ₹58.05 to ₹161.90 and remains among the more actively tracked defence-linked smallcaps in recent days.
