Indian Firm Achieves Rare Milestone in Aerospace Industry
20:30 22.09.2025 (Updated: 20:37 22.09.2025) Developing a fully indigenous fighter jet has long been India's goal, and with rapid progress now being made in components vital for the aerospace sector, the country appears to be well on course to accomplish this in the next decade or so.
India's Aerolloy Technologies Limited has become the world's second firm to manufacture large-scale high-precision investment castings in both titanium alloys and superalloys.
The company, a wholly owned subsidiary of PTC Industries, announced the achievement in a statement on Monday.
"Coupled with our recently commissioned Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM) furnace for Superalloys, this integrated capability represents a globally rare achievement and is absolutely critical for indigenous aerospace manufacturing," the statement read.
US firm ATI, previously Allegheny Technologies, is the only other manufacturer that produces titanium alloys as well as superalloys.
The state-of-the-art Vacuum Arc Remelting (VAR) 400 furnace is located at the Strategic Materials Technology Complex in Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh, and is part of the state's Defence Industrial Corridor backed by the national government.
The VAR 400 allows the manufacture of some of the largest Titanium castings in the world, powering next-generation civil and military aero-engines — including critical components like fan hub frames, intermediate casings and turbine rear frames, the firm stated.
"This is more than a technological milestone - it is India's statement of capability and intent," the firm said. "By building engines and systems at home, we are laying the foundation for the nation's leadership in aerospace and defence for decades to come."
