Nelco, also known as National Radio & Electronics Company, is a privately owned company and a subsidiary of Tata Group, headquartered in India. Founded in 1940, the company employs approximately 420 individuals and primarily focuses on enterprise connectivity services.

Nelco published a newspaper advertisement on August 27, 2026, in Business Standard and Sakal, announcing the extension of the special window for re-lodgement of transfer requests for physical shares. Previously, on August 27, rating agency CRISIL placed Nelco's bank facilities, amounting to ₹218 crore, on 'Rating Watch with Developing Implications'. This decision followed Nelco's August 17 announcement of a $20 million investment in Lunar Holdco through the subscription of compulsorily convertible debentures, which was funded by approximately ₹191 crore in new debt. CRISIL stated it is evaluating the potential impact of this strategic transaction on Nelco's business and financial risk profiles.
