• 100% Self-Reliant (& Exporting):
  • Enclosures: Meeting 100% of domestic demand.
  • Anode Material: Fully self-reliant; actively exporting.
  • Optical Transceivers: Fully self-reliant; actively exporting.
  • Relays: Fully self-reliant; actively exporting.
  • Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs): Operational and exporting globally, including to China.

• Partial Domestic Self-Reliance (Scaling Up):
  • Laminates: 80% of domestic demand met (projected to reach 100% soon with ongoing plant expansions).
  • Connectors: 75% of domestic demand met.
  • Lithium-ion Cells: 60% of domestic demand met (scaled up from virtually zero domestic capacity).
  • Transducers: 55% of domestic electronics demand met.
  • Permanent Magnets (for electronics): 40% of domestic demand met.
  • Capacitors: 20% of domestic demand met.

Its like Indian Elite understood that what Oil is for China, Electronics is for India. A strategic chokehold and reliance on China which is undesirable. Add on to humongous forex outflow in 10s of Billions of dollars from India. The next phase seems to cover everything largely at basic to mid level aimed at reducing imports.

Stage​	Process Step	Description	PTC Industries Involvement
1​	Ore Mining & Concentration	Titanium-bearing minerals (like ilmenite or rutile) are mined and processed to extract titanium dioxide (TiO₂).	Not Involved
2​	Chlorination	Purified TiO₂ is treated with chlorine gas and carbon at high temperatures to produce titanium tetrachloride (TiCl₄).	Planned (Future Sponge Plant)
3​	Purification	Crude TiCl₄ is purified through fractional distillation to remove impurities.	Planned (Future Sponge Plant)
4​	Reduction (Kroll Process)	Purified TiCl₄ is reduced using molten magnesium to produce porous "titanium sponge."	Planned (Future Sponge Plant)
5​	Sponge Crushing & Pressing	Titanium sponge is crushed and pressed into compact forms (electrodes).	Planned (Future Sponge Plant)
6​	Electrode Preparation	Multiple pressed sponge electrodes are welded together to form a consumable electrode.	Current Capability
7​	Vacuum Arc Remelting (VAR) – Primary Melt	Sponge electrode is melted in a vacuum to form the first titanium alloy ingot.	Current Capability
8​	Vacuum Arc Remelting (VAR) – Secondary Melt	Primary ingot is re-melted to ensure chemical uniformity and purity, producing the final ingot.	Current Capability
9​	Quality Assurance (Ingot)	Solidified ingot is inspected; defective sections are cropped to ensure material integrity.	Current Capability
10​	Forging / Billet Conversion	Ingot is heated and forged to break down cast structure and create a semi-finished billet.	Future Capability (Expansion)
11​	Rolling & Shaping	Billet is processed through rolling mills to produce bars, rods, or plates.	Future Capability (Expansion)
12​	Cutting to Size	Mill products are cut to required dimensions for the next manufacturing stage.	Future Capability (Expansion)
13​	Precision Investment Casting	Molten titanium is poured into a ceramic mold to create a near-net-shape casting.	Current Capability
14​	Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP)	Casting is subjected to high temperature and pressure to eliminate internal porosity.	Current Capability
15​	Precision Machining	Casting is CNC-machined to achieve final, precise dimensions and surface finishes.	Current Capability
16​	Surface Coating & Treatment	Special coatings (e.g., thermal barrier) or chemical treatments are applied to enhance performance.	Current Capability
17​	Final Quality Assurance & Inspection	Finished part undergoes rigorous non-destructive testing (NDT) to meet all specifications.	Current Capability

Except Ore to TiO2 step, this company has end-to-end capability or instage of doing so. Last year they won Jeff Bezos Blue Origin's Titanium parts supply order.
