PTC Industries Installs Plasma Arc Melting Furnace at Lucknow Facility
Filing Summary
PTC Industries Limited, through its subsidiary Aerolloy Technologies Limited, has completed the installation of a Plasma Arc Melting (PAM) furnace at its Strategic Manufacturing Technology Centre in Lucknow. The furnace has a capacity of 600 tonnes per annum for Titanium alloy ingots. This installation enhances Aerolloy’s operational flexibility and supports the production of specialized Titanium alloys for aerospace and defense applications. The PAM furnace complements existing infrastructure, aligning with PTC’s strategy to develop an integrated ecosystem for advanced materials within India.
PTC Industries Limited, via its wholly owned subsidiary Aerolloy Technologies Limited, has announced the completion of the installation of a Plasma Arc Melting (PAM) furnace at its Strategic Manufacturing Technology Centre (SMTC) in Lucknow. The furnace is designed for the production of Titanium alloy ingots with an installed capacity of approximately 600 tonnes per annum. All necessary electrical, mechanical, and control panel installations have been finalized, and the furnace is now prepared for trials and subsequent commissioning.
The PAM furnace installation does not specify financial terms or payment structures in the filing. The focus remains on the operational capabilities and strategic benefits that the furnace brings to Aerolloy Technologies and PTC Industries.
The PAM furnace enhances Aerolloy’s operational flexibility and cost efficiency by allowing the company to remelt and reuse internally generated material returns. This process improves material yield and reduces reliance on fresh raw material inputs. The furnace supports the development and manufacture of customized Titanium alloys in limited quantities, catering to advanced aerospace, defense, and space programs requiring tailored material specifications. The technology enables high metallurgical cleanliness and chemistry control, crucial for aerospace and defense applications.
The installation of the PAM furnace aligns with PTC Industries’ strategy to build a fully integrated ecosystem for advanced materials within India. This ecosystem spans alloy development, melting, casting, and downstream processing. The facility supports both import substitution and export-oriented growth in high-value aerospace and defense materials. The PAM furnace complements Aerolloy’s existing Vacuum Arc Remelting (VAR) and Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM) infrastructure, reinforcing PTC and Aerolloy’s position as a leading Titanium and Superalloy manufacturing platform in the region.
The PAM furnace installation was completed on January 8, 2026. The furnace is now ready for trials and subsequent commissioning at the Strategic Manufacturing Technology Centre in Lucknow. The completion of this installation marks a significant milestone in PTC Industries’ long-term strategy to enhance its capabilities in advanced material manufacturing.
