Under subsidiary Apollo Defence Industries and alongside aims to APS fuel expansion, AMS raised Rs 50 crore through the issuance of unlisted, secured, redeemable, non-convertible debentures to institutional investors via private placement. The weaknesses this defence bill aims to solve are the enhancement and bolstering of the subsidiary's footprint on the market.

In order to facilitate the fundraising, a corporate guarantee of Rs 50 crore has been issued by Apollo Micro systems towards the debenture issue. This guarantee, which enhances the subsidiary's credit profile while not costing anything additional, is valid until redemption. Even though the promoters have interests in the subsidiary firm, they are not involved in the transaction, and the guarantee is classified as a contingent liability, allowing for group-level expansion efforts.
