PTC Industries has secured a Purchase Order from the Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE) for Post-Cast Operations to manufacture Single Crystal ‘Ready-to-Fit’ Turbine Blades. This marks the first time an Indian company has been entrusted with these operations, placing PTC among a select few organizations globally with this capability. The order strengthens the collaboration between GTRE and PTC, advancing indigenous manufacturing.
Significant Order for Turbine Blades
PTC Industries has received a Purchase Order from the Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE) for manufacturing Single Crystal ‘Ready-to-Fit’ Turbine Blades. This order underscores the growing capabilities of Indian manufacturers in critical aerospace components. The announcement was made during the Lokarpan Ceremony of the Titanium & Superalloys Materials Plant at PTC’s Strategic Materials Technology Complex (SMTC) in Lucknow on October 23, 2025.
A Milestone for Indian Manufacturing
This order represents a historic milestone, as it is the first time an Indian company has been entrusted with Post-Cast Operations, including machining, grinding, brazing, vacuum heat treatment, thermal barrier coating, and powder vapour deposition of Single Crystal Turbine Blades. Only a limited number of organizations worldwide possess this capability. This order demonstrates GTRE’s confidence in PTC’s advanced casting, heat-treatment, and machining expertise for critical aerospace components.
Statements on the Achievement
Mr. Sachin Agarwal, Chairman and Managing Director of PTC Industries, stated that this order from GTRE represents a moment of national significance and industrial pride.
