Aerospace Component Manufacturing & MRO

The upstream materials layer - titanium, superalloy and special-alloy forgings and castings that every structural, engine and landing-gear component downstream is machined from.

Nothing else in the value chain can be built without certified aerospace-grade forgings and castings, so capacity and quality here gate everything downstream.

Forging and casting specialists capture long-cycle, qualification-locked contracts with global OEMs, since re-qualifying a new supplier for flight-critical metal is slow and expensive.

• Global OEM build-rate ramps (Airbus, Boeing, engine makers)
• Domestic defence forging programmes (LCA Tejas, engine overhaul)
• Import-substitution push for titanium/superalloy

• Aerospace-grade titanium and superalloy supply, largely import-dependent
• Multi-year OEM qualification cycles for new forging/casting capacity
• Limited number of domestic furnaces capable of aerospace-grade melts

• New-capacity utilisation and ramp-up pace
• Share of revenue from aerospace vs. other forging end-markets
• Qualification wins with new OEM programmes
