PTC Industries Wins ₹110 Crore Order from BrahMos Aerospace for Critical Titanium Castings

India Defense

Lucknow, August 2025 – In a major boost to India’s defence manufacturing ecosystem, PTC Industries has secured a ₹110 crore order from BrahMos Aerospace for the production and supply of critical titanium castings used in the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile. The order will be executed over the next 24 months, reinforcing PTC’s role as a key contributor to India’s most strategic missile programme.

 

Vital Components for a Strategic Weapon

The titanium castings ordered are essential components for the BrahMos missile, which is known for its Mach 2.8–3 speed, high precision, and versatility across platforms, including ships, land-based launchers, aircraft, and submarines.

Titanium alloys are indispensable for such high-performance systems due to their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand extreme heat and stress during missile flight. By mastering these complex metallurgical processes, PTC ensures reliable performance of one of the world’s most advanced cruise missiles.

 

Building on a Long-Term Partnership

This deal extends a collaboration that began in 2019, when PTC first started supplying titanium castings and raw materials to BrahMos Aerospace. Over the years, the company has consistently delivered precision-engineered titanium components, helping to strengthen the indigenous supply chain for the missile programme.

This partnership reflects India’s larger goal of reducing import dependence in defence production, aligning with the government’s Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative.

 

PTC Industries’ Expanding Defence Role

PTC Industries has steadily emerged as one of India’s leading advanced materials companies in defence and aerospace. It supplies titanium and superalloy castings not only to BrahMos Aerospace but also to:

• Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for aircraft and engine components.

• Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) for advanced missile and aerospace projects.

• Global aerospace leaders such as Safran, Dassault Aviation, BAE Systems, and Israel Aerospace Industries.

The company’s global recognition demonstrates India’s growing capability in aerospace-grade titanium casting technology, an area traditionally dominated by only a few advanced nations.

 

State-of-the-Art Manufacturing in Lucknow

PTC’s recent success is anchored in its state-of-the-art facility located in the Uttar Pradesh Defence Industrial Corridor in Lucknow. This facility features a fully integrated Titanium and Superalloy Mill, enabling end-to-end production of critical materials such as ingots, billets, bars, plates, and sheets.

The vertical integration of raw material processing with precision casting allows PTC to deliver aerospace-grade titanium products domestically, cutting down reliance on costly imports and ensuring supply-chain security for defence programmes.

 

Strengthening India’s Strategic Autonomy

The importance of this order goes beyond business value. By indigenously producing such high-performance titanium castings, India demonstrates the ability to support critical missile and aerospace programmes without foreign dependence. This places the nation in an elite club capable of producing advanced titanium materials for defence use.

For the BrahMos programme, which is co-developed by India and Russia but increasingly focused on Indian industrial participation, this represents another step toward full localisation of production.

 

Government Alignment and Future Prospects

The government’s recent policy push to increase indigenous content in defence projects to over 70% directly benefits companies like PTC. With India also exploring the export of BrahMos missiles to friendly nations such as the Philippines, Vietnam, and others, demand for indigenous suppliers of critical components is expected to grow rapidly.

This positions PTC not only as a pillar of India’s defence industrial base but also as a potential contributor to the country’s expanding role in the global missile and aerospace supply chain.

 

The ₹110 crore order from BrahMos Aerospace is more than just a business win for PTC Industries – it is a strategic milestone. It highlights India’s accelerating march toward self-reliance in defence manufacturing, strengthens the indigenous ecosystem for missile and aerospace technologies, and underscores the country’s emergence as a serious global player in advanced materials engineering.

With its expertise in titanium and superalloys, PTC Industries is poised to play an even greater role in shaping the future of India’s defence production landscape while supporting the nation’s pursuit of technological autonomy and global competitiveness.
