New Delhi, October 8 (APAC Media): Mishra Dhatu Nigam Limited (MIDHANI), a Defence PSU under the Ministry of Defence, is supporting India’s indigenous aero-engine programmes through the development of critical alloys and advanced materials.
Focus on Critical Aero-Engine Materials
MIDHANI has partnered with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) across several indigenous aero-engine programmes. The company is supplying specialised materials developed through its expertise in advanced metallurgy and indigenous materials technology.
Its contributions include single-crystal superalloys and other high-temperature materials used in demanding aero-engine applications. These materials are designed to withstand extreme temperatures and operating conditions.
The development of such materials is aimed at strengthening domestic capabilities and reducing dependence on imported strategic materials for aerospace propulsion programmes.
HAL Marks 2,000th Engine Milestone
The delivery of HAL’s 2,000th aero-engine at its Koraput Division marks a milestone for India’s indigenous aero-engine ecosystem. It also underlines the role of domestic organisations in developing and supplying critical materials and components for aerospace applications.
MIDHANI said its contribution to various aero-engine programmes was recognised during the milestone event attended by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi and HAL Chairman and Managing Director Ravi K.
MIDHANI Chairman and Managing Director Dr SVS Narayana Murty said self-reliance in critical materials is essential for achieving self-reliance in aero-engines.
He said MIDHANI is working with HAL and other organisations in the aerospace ecosystem to develop and indigenise advanced alloys for demanding applications.
Strengthening Aerospace Self-Reliance
MIDHANI’s work in specialised alloys and advanced materials supports India’s efforts to build domestic capabilities in aerospace and defence manufacturing. Its collaboration with HAL also reflects the role of Defence PSUs in developing strategic technologies and strengthening supply chains for future aerospace programmes.
