“We are also in the process of developing air-to-air refuelling and drop tank component for the future variant aircraft, namely the Light Combat Aircraft Tejas MK 1,” he said.

The institute shot to fame after providing components for Mangalyaan (Mars orbiter mission), Chandrayaan – I and Chandrayaan – II.

Established in 1991, the center runs under the ministry of micro small and medium enterprises and is equipped with state-of-the-art machines and technology for manufacturing of complex and high-precision components for aerospace defense applications.

“We convey our gratitude to the ministry of defence and all the other esteemed organisations who have shown their support and established confidence in the Central Tool Room and Training Centre and helped in catapulting us into an organisation of national repute,” Maity said.
