With this development, Bharat Forge becomes one of the first Indian companies to operate OEM-approved landing gear components machining capabilities, the company said in a regulatory filing.
The newly launched facility features advanced machining centres designed for high-precision landing-gear components used in aerospace systems. However, the company did not disclose the investment size for the project.
Following the announcement, shares of Bharat Forge Ltd. were trading at ₹1835.55 per share, down by ₹7.50, as of 10:28 AM on Wednesday on the BSE.
Bharat Forge now operates a full-stack aerospace manufacturing portfolio, covering aero-engine components, airframe structures and landing-gear sub-systems for both civil and military aviation. The company also manufactures turbine and compressor components, forged rings, shafts and discs, along with structural and landing-gear elements.
In addition, Bharat Forge is developing an advanced aerospace ring mill in India to produce high-value forged rings for aero-engine programmes.
