He further announced that the company is setting up facilities in the recently acquired 50 acres of land in the Lucknow node of the UP Defence Industrial Corridor, for critical technologies like SX Aero Engine Aerofoils, TB Coatings and Small Gas Turbines.
The company is creating a world class manufacturing ecosystem for aerospace materials including Titanium, Nickel, and refractory alloys with the installation of the Vacuum Arc Remelting Furnace, Electron Beam Cold Hearth Refining, Plasma Arc Melting and Vacuum Induction Melting equipment. PTC's production of Titanium alloys with an overall capacity of 6500 TPA will be used for our country's Defence, Aerospace, Medical and Industrial applications and also target a substantial volume for export to various OEMs globally.
