Their earnings depend on order books, project execution and indigenous supply programmes. This list looks at three of them, Cochin Shipyard, Astra Microwave Products and Mishra Dhatu Nigam, using reported FY22 to FY26 financials and the 23 October 2026 closing prices.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_shipbuilding_microwave_and_alloy_stocks_are_covered_in_this_list\"><\/span><strong>Which shipbuilding, microwave and alloy stocks are covered in this list?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> This list covers Cochin Shipyard, Astra Microwave Products and Mishra Dhatu Nigam.

Their return on equity ranges from 8.6% to 14.7%, and their revenue compound annual growth from FY22 to FY26 ranges from 8.8% to 12.0%.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_do_shipbuilding_microwave_and_alloy_stocks_have_a_strong_future_roadmap_in_India\"><\/span><strong>Why do shipbuilding, microwave and alloy stocks have a strong future roadmap in India?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Shipbuilding, microwave and alloy stocks have a strong roadmap in India because India is raising indigenous defence production and expanding its shipbuilding capacity, which supports long-term orders for domestic suppliers. The main drivers are as follows. Indigenous supply. Government plans favour domestic makers. Shipbuilding push. New yards and orders widen capacity. Special alloys. Aerospace and defence programmes need advanced metals. Together these factors give the companies on this list a visible path for growth over the coming years.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_has_Cochin_Shipyard_performed_financially\"><\/span><strong>How has Cochin Shipyard performed financially?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Revenue rose from Rs 3,454 crore in FY22 to Rs 5,432 crore in FY26, a compound annual growth rate of 12.0%.
