New Integrated Superalloy Plant in Telangana

Raghu Vamsi Aerospace announced on 22 July 2026 a ₹600 crore integrated superalloy manufacturing facility in Telangana to produce nickel‑based alloys for aerospace and defence, with commercial production targeted January 2028.

Project Profile

  • Investment: ₹600 crore project; company raised USD 40 million (~₹400 crore) in July 2026.
  • Scale: 50 acres integrated campus; annual capacity about 5,000 tonnes.
  • Integration: End‑to‑end processing envisaged from alloying to finished forms.

Location & Timeline

  • Site: Hardware Park near Hyderabad International Airport, Telangana.
  • Commercial start: Targeted January 2028.

Products & Manufacturing

  • Materials: Nickel‑based superalloys (primary focus).
  • Output forms: Round bars, wires, forgings, castings, tungsten carbide powders.

Strategic Linkages

  • End users: Aerospace and defence component manufacturers, gas turbines and jet engine supply chains.
  • Import substitution: Aimed at domestic availability of nickel alloys to reduce reliance on imports of strategic materials.
  • Industry context: Few integrated nickel‑based superalloy plants exist in India.

IASPOINT Booster Facts

  • Superalloy defined: High‑performance alloys retaining strength and corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures for high‑stress applications.
  • Nickel‑based use: Preferred for turbine blades and hot‑section aero components due to creep and oxidation resistance.
  • Mishra Dhatu Nigam Limited (MIDHANI): Central PSU specialising in special metals and defence materials in India.
