Sigma Advanced Systems Limited has completed the divestment of its entire 36.52percent equity stake in Extrovis AG, a Switzerland-based pharmaceutical company. The transaction has generated $15 million (approximately Rs.137.61 crore), providing the company with additional financial flexibility as it accelerates the expansion of its aerospace and defence business.

Sunil Kalidindi, CEO of Sigma Advanced Systems, said, "The divestment of our stake in Extrovis AG is a deliberate step in sharpening Sigma’s focus as a global aerospace and defence manufacturing company. As we scale our capabilities following the Nasmyth and AS Strategic acquisition and deepen our presence in international defence ecosystems, it is important that our capital and strategic priorities remain aligned with this direction. This transaction strengthens our balance sheet and gives us greater flexibility to invest in new capabilities, pursue strategic opportunities, and support the next phase of Sigma’s growth."

The move comes as Sigma continues to build a broader international platform.

Recently, the company acquired Delhi-based AS Strategic, a defence and space-focused firm with deep roots in Europe. AS Strategic operates through long-term joint ventures and exclusive service partnerships with leading European and global defence OEMs.

The acquisition builds on Sigma’s earlier purchase of the Nasmyth Group in the United Kingdom, which established a strong manufacturing and industrial footprint across Europe and the UK. While Nasmyth strengthened Sigma’s precision manufacturing capabilities, special processes, and Tier-1 supply chain integration, AS Strategic adds the front-end layer of program access, customer relationships, and system-level participation within European defence ecosystems.

Together, Nasmyth and AS Strategic position Sigma as a globally embedded aerospace and defence company, capable of executing complex, multi-year international programs while anchoring manufacturing, talent, and value creation firmly in India.

Alongside its acquisition strategy, Sigma has also continued to expand its order book. Last month, the company secured new orders worth approximately Rs.100 crore from India’s Ministry of Defence and associated Defence PSUs, underscoring continued customer reliance on Sigma for defence electronics and other mission-critical systems where qualification cycles are long and reliability standards remain stringent.
