DEFENCE
The Indian Defence Ministry was indigenising the Russian Battle Tank when we developed aluminium alloy wheels that delivered a weight saving of 5 tons per tank. This doubled the tank’s top speed from around 30 kmph to 65 kmph. We’re currently working on refinements that will boost the top speed to 90 kmph.
For the T-72 Bridge Layer Tanks, Alicon developed a ventilator to cool the tanks better. These special fans were earlier being developed using Sand Casting, before we stepped in and used Low Pressure Die Casting, resulting in substantial improvements.
