The DRDO has transferred its indigenously developed copper-titanium technology to Pahwa Metal Tech Pvt Ltd, a Pune-based start-up founded by industry veteran Lalit Kumar Pahwa. Pahwa Metal will manufacture the alloy for various applications. The transfer was made under the DRDO-FICCI Accelerated Technology Assessment and Commercialisation initiative. The technology — to make a copper-titanium alloy using air induction and vacuum induction melting — was developed at the Defence Metallurgical Research Lab here.
