Aerolloy Technologies Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of PTC Industries Limited and a manufacturer of high-precision metal components and materials for critical aerospace and defence applications, announced the successful completion of installation and hot and cold trials of its 4500/5100 Tonne Intelligent Open Die Forging System at the Strategic Materials Technology Complex (SMTC) in Lucknow Node of the UP Defence Industrial Corridor.
Engineered for precision, scale, and intelligence, this forging system is capable of working Titanium, Superalloys, and a wide range of advanced high-performance alloys producing critical components that are indispensable to next-generation aeroengines, advanced defence platforms, space propulsion systems, and industrial gas turbines.
The installation of this forging system represents a transformational expansion of Aerolloy's manufacturing ecosystem and a major leap in India's indigenous capability in critical aerospace manufacturing. Open die forging of Titanium and Superalloys at this scale demands exceptional precision, process control, and material science expertise capabilities that only a handful of companies globally possess.
Critically, this milestone completes a globally rare trifecta: melting, casting, and forging all under one roof. Combined with the recently completed installation and successful trials of the Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM) furnace for Superalloy castings and the Vacuum Arc Remelting (VAR) 400 furnace for large Titanium castings, Aerolloy and PTC now offer one of the most comprehensive aerospace material-to-component supply chains anywhere in the world.
Speaking on this occasion, Mr. Sachin Agarwal, Chairman and Managing Director, PTC Industries, said: "The installation and successful completion of trials of this advanced Open Die Forging System is a landmark moment not just for Aerolloy and PTC Industries, but for India's aerospace and defence manufacturing ecosystem as a whole.
When we completed the installation and successful trials of our VIM furnace and our VAR 400 furnace, we built the capability to produce some of the largest precision castings in the world. With this forging press, we now extend that capability further closing the loop from melting and casting to forging, in Titanium, Superalloys, and advanced high-performance alloys. This is the kind of end-to-end integration that defines a global-class aerospace supply chain.
More importantly, every ton forged here reduces India's dependence on imported aerospace-grade forgings. We are building the foundation for India's long-term leadership in high-performance materials and manufacturing and we are building it from Lucknow."
Strategic and Market Impact
The installation and successful trials of the Intelligent Open Die Forging System further strengthen Aerolloy's strategy of building globally rare, highly integrated manufacturing capabilities. Combined with the VIM and VAR facilities, PTC and Aerolloy now cover the complete chain from raw alloy and material production through precision casting to large-scale forging for the most demanding aerospace and defence applications.
This integration creates efficiency, cost competitiveness, supply chain resilience, and unmatched quality control for global customers, while significantly enhancing India's strategic position within the global aerospace and defence supply chain. For international OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers, it offers a single, trusted source for some of the most complex and critical materials and components in aviation.
Global demand for aerospace-grade forged Titanium and Superalloy components is expanding rapidly, driven by the next generation of commercial aircraft engines, widening defence programmes, and accelerating space exploration activity. This positions Aerolloy to capture a significant share of these opportunities domestically and internationally while aligning growth with India's strategic objectives of supply chain security and technological self-reliance.
