The MoU was exchanged during the Lokarpan Ceremony of PTC’s Titanium & Superalloys Materials Plant at the Strategic Materials Technology Complex (SMTC), Lucknow, in the presence of Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh and Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath.

By combining BDL’s proven systems pedigree with PTC’s materials and precision-engineering expertise, we aim to create an indigenous, future-ready ecosystem for missiles, UAVs, and next-generation strategic platforms—fully aligned with Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
