The Titanium and Superalloy Materials Plant was inaugurated in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, marking a significant step in India’s pursuit of self-reliance in strategic materials for defence, aerospace, and electronics. The facility produces high-grade titanium and superalloys used in fighter jets, missiles, naval systems, and satellites. With a production capacity exceeding 6,000 tonnes annually, it supports indigenous manufacturing of critical components like turbine blades and missile parts. Located within the Uttar Pradesh Defence Industrial Corridor, this plant strengthens India’s technological and industrial base, promotes employment, and reduces dependence on foreign imports for strategic defence materials.
