The jointly developed components will be used in drive gearboxes for a new patrol boat programme and are considered an important milestone on the path to greater technological independence in the maritime sector.
Taural India produced sixteen complete sets of castings in just five months. Building on its expertise in advanced aluminium sand casting, the company optimised the component geometries, reduced the weight and provided robust, flawless components with complex internal structures – designed for high strength and reliability in maritime applications. This technical precision was instrumental in TEIL's on-time production and delivery of the gear systems.
The management teams of both partners emphasise the importance of the collaboration for the expansion of local manufacturing expertise. Taural India points to its extensive international certifications, including ABS, AS9100D and the ASME U stamp, which demonstrate its ability to manufacture safety-critical components. With this project, TEIL is strengthening its role as a reliable partner for maritime and industrial drive technology.
