L&T Forgings for India’s PHWR Nuclear Program
The landmark achievement affirms, for the first time, India’s indigenous capability to make all types of forgings for the PHWR nuclear program of the Indian government.
" It assumes special significance in the light of the ‘Make in India’ drive by the Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi," read a government statement.
A flag-off ceremony was held for the despatch of the complex primary head and cone shell, on September 23, 2015 at the state-of-art Steel making & Forging Facility of LTSSHF at Hazira, near Surat. It was attended by top management personnel from Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) and L&T.
LTSSHF is a joint venture of L&T and NPCIL. It has a 65000 sq. metre integrated facility to meet the heavy forging requirements of the critical sectors. The facility has already produced many ‘firsts’ in India by substituting the imports of such heavy and complex forgings. It is now geared up to take up similar complex and heavy forgings for the nuclear industry.
