1. At a Glance
Welcome to the world of CP PLUS, where every movement is recorded—except maybe the management’s jokes in board meetings. Aditya Infotech Ltd (AIL), the mastermind behind India’s favorite CCTV brand, is now not just seeing everything but growing everywhere. At ₹1,621 a share, with a market cap of ₹19,000 crore, this tech-eye is staring down competitors like Kaynes, Honeywell, and Syrma SGS.
In Q2FY26 (Sep 2025), AIL posted revenue of ₹920 crore—up 37.5% YoY—and a PAT of ₹70 crore, up a blinding 197%. Margins rose from “we have margins?” to a respectable 12% OPM, as other-income-fueled FY25 fireworks faded. Its EPS for the quarter was ₹5.97, annualized at ₹23.88.
The company’s ROE (20.9%) and ROCE (19.5%) are watching over shareholders like a hawk over a highway. But the P/E of 96.5 means investors are paying more per frame than Netflix subscribers.
And as the Bhagavad Gita gently reminds us: “Action is greater than inaction.” Aditya seems to have taken that personally—acting on surveillance, expansion, and IPO buzz all in one financial season.
2. Introduction
Aditya Infotech Ltd, or as India knows it—CP PLUS waale bhaiya—has quietly become the country’s unofficial “Ministry of Watching Things Move.” From homes and schools to banks and airports, AIL’s lenses are literally everywhere.
The company’s rise has been sharper than a 4K night-vision zoom. From ₹1,238 crore revenue in FY20 to ₹3,112 crore in FY25, it’s grown 2.5x while keeping its bottom line under constant watch. Post-IPO, the company now sits comfortably with ₹19,000 crore market cap, 0% promoter pledge, and the pride of being the world’s 3rd largest CCTV plant operator (Kadapa, Andhra Pradesh).
But behind all the optics, lies a company balancing Made in India ambitions with global component dependency. The IPO’s ₹1,300 crore inflow was a clear signal: repay debt, fund capacity, and polish lenses till they sparkle like shareholders’ dreams.
AIL isn’t just selling cameras—it’s building the digital skeleton of India’s surveillance economy. A country where “Smile, you’re on camera” is less of a warning and more of a lifestyle.
3. Business Model – WTF Do They Even Do?
Aditya Infotech Ltd manufactures and provides video surveillance solutions under “CP PLUS”, the same name you see on every security feed that captures people pretending to work.
Their empire has three main towers:

- Software & AI: Beyond hardware, they’re pushing AI-IoT platforms like OnVigil, face recognition, cloud monitoring, and Security-as-a-Service. Essentially,
