PTC Industries

The nine-month project covers high-integrity parts and marks PTC's shift from single components toward complex defence assemblies and sub-systems.

The cradle holds the gun barrel and breech and carries firing and recoil forces to the turret. It is the company's first order covering both the design and the manufacture of a mission-critical defence part. The value is undisclosed for strategic reasons, but it deepens India's push to make critical titanium parts at home.

The order deepens PTC's position in India's defence-manufacturing supply chain, where it makes advanced metal and titanium components. Winning work directly for the BrahMos programme places the company on a marquee strategic platform, the kind of reference order that tends to open further defence and aerospace mandates.
