Aerolloy Technologies Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of PTC Industries Limited, has commissioned a new Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM) furnace and advanced manufacturing facilities for superalloys in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. The development expands the company’s production capability to include superalloy ingots, cast sticks, and investment castings for use in aerospace, defence, space propulsion, and industrial gas turbine applications.
The new facility enables Aerolloy to manufacture large superalloy investment castings, a capability possessed by only a limited number of firms globally. The expansion is expected to strengthen Aerolloy’s supply to domestic and international markets amid rising demand for high-performance superalloys, which are estimated to represent an annual global market of more than USD 15 billion.
“The commissioning of this facility is a strategic milestone for Aerolloy and PTC Industries. It brings two world-class manufacturing capabilities into our fold. First, the ability to manufacture the largest precision superalloy investment castings in the world, a capability vital for aero-engines, IGTs and space applications. Second, the capacity to produce a broad range of Nickel and Cobalt based superalloy materials, including alloys required for single-crystal applications,” said Sachin Agarwal, Chairman and Managing Director of PTC Industries.
The company stated that the addition of the VIM furnace provides a fully integrated supply chain, from alloy production to near-net-shape precision castings. This integration is expected to improve efficiency and cost competitiveness, while supporting customer requirements in aerospace and defence industries.
PTC Industries, established over 60 years ago, manufactures precision metal components for critical applications. Through Aerolloy Technologies, it supplies titanium and superalloy castings for aerospace and defence customers in India and export markets. The company is investing in a new manufacturing facility in the Uttar Pradesh Defence Industrial Corridor, which will include a titanium and superalloy mill producing aerospace-grade ingots, billets, bars, plates, and sheets.
