HAL and MIDHANI in focus: HAL places Rs 6,000 crore superalloy order with MIDHANI, says report
Superalloys — which deliver exceptional strength, heat resistance, and durability — are indispensable for high-performance engines and machinery. With global supply chains facing uncertainty, HAL has tapped MIDHANI as a reliable domestic supplier for these advanced materials. The move also mitigates the risks associated with dependence on imported components.
MIDHANI is set to supply a wide range of nickel-based superalloys enriched with chromium, aluminum, titanium, as well as cobalt-based and titanium-based alloys. These materials will not only power AL31 engines but also support indigenous engines and future programs like the GE F414 for Tejas Mk2 and the AMCA engine.
According to Alpha Defense, this initiative represents a strategic shift toward indigenization of jet engines and tighter control over critical supply chains. The deal will help India replace imported parts, strengthen its industrial base, and reduce vulnerabilities in a region marked by geopolitical tensions.
MIDHANI, often referred to as India's superalloy powerhouse, continues to lead in supplying premium alloys for extreme environments like jet turbines, power plants, and critical infrastructure sectors.
The order is expected to pave the way for India's next-generation engine programs, bolstering domestic capabilities and supporting HAL's upcoming strategic programs with confidence.
