On Tuesday, shares of engineering components manufacturing company PTC Industries Ltd surged around 6.5 per cent today to an intraday high of Rs 16,596 per share from its previous closing of Rs 15,645.50 per share. The stock's 52-week high is Rs 16,650 and its 52-week low is Rs 6,478.05. The company has a market cap of over Rs 24,720 crore with multibagger returns of over 440 per cent in 5 years.

Being the first and only private firm in India to put in operation a Vacuum Arc Remelting (VAR) furnace and create aerospace-grade titanium alloy ingots, Aerolloy Technologies, a fully owned subsidiary of PTC Industries, has accomplished a major achievement. With its cutting-edge, German-made VAR furnace, Aerolloy is one of the few companies in the world with the infrastructure, technology, and capacity to produce titanium alloy ingots for vital uses in the defence and aerospace sectors.

his accomplishment moves PTC Industries one step closer to its objective of dominating the global market for vital metals and components. By using this expanded capacity, PTC Industries and Aerolloy Technologies will be able to supply the increasing demand for premium titanium alloys worldwide while promoting innovation and expansion in India's sophisticated manufacturing industry.

According to double-melt quality requirements, this VAR furnace can melt 1,500 MT of titanium alloy annually and create ingots up to 1,000 mm in diameter and 10 MT in weight. With this accomplishment, Aerolloy Technologies closes a major technological gap in India and moves the country closer to global parity in the manufacturing of high-performance strategic materials.

The United States, Russia, China, and a few European countries including France and the United Kingdom are the only countries in the world with the capacity to create aerospace-grade titanium alloy ingots utilising VAR technology. Aerolloy Technologies has joined a select group of organisations globally that are able to produce high-performance titanium alloys for vital industries with the commissioning of this state-of-the-art VAR facility. This accomplishment highlights India's rise to prominence in sophisticated manufacturing and materials technology on a global scale.

Mr. Jim Collins, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of PTC Industries, added, "The commissioning of this VAR facility represents a significant leap forward in our technological capabilities. With this state-of-the-art infrastructure, we are well-positioned to meet the stringent demands of aerospace-grade Titanium alloy production, matching global standards and ensuring reliable quality. This is a proud moment for Aerolloy and for India as a whole."

By building this state-of-the-art manufacturing plant, PTC Industries enhances India's standing in the global aerospace supply chain and bolsters its independence in crucial and vital materials.

Mr. Sachin Agarwal, Chairman & Managing Director of PTC Industries said, "The commissioning of this VAR furnace is not just a milestone for Aerolloy and PTC Industries, but a defining moment for India's manufacturing sector. By bringing this capability to India, we have eliminated a critical dependency and demonstrated that Indian companies can lead in advanced manufacturing technologies on a global scale."

For more than 60 years, PTC Industries Limited has been a top producer of precision metal parts for vital applications in India. The firm produces and supplies titanium and superalloy castings for aerospace and defence applications both domestically in India and internationally through its fully owned subsidiary Aerolloy Technologies Limited.

On Wednesday, the shares of PTC Industries ended 0.96% lower at Rs 13,330 on the NSE with a market cap of Rs 19.97KCr.
