Elecon Engineering to supply gear boxes to Aircraft Carrier

Elecon Engineering Co.Ltd,Gujarat has recently bagged a prestigious contract for supplying the main propulsion gearboxes for India's first indigenous aircraft carrier. India is one of the few countries in the world to have developed the capability for building an aircraft carrier and it is equally a proud achievement for Elecon to be part of this landmark project. This is the company's second major endeavor in sophisticated marine gears technology after successful delivery of gearboxes for Navy's new stealth warships under construction at Mazagon Docks Ltd.

The marine gearboxes for the aircraft carrier would be one of the largest and most complex to be installed on the ships and would need precision manufacturing technology to achieve stringent quality and reliability standards laid down for marine applications. In keeping with its credo to be in the forefront of technology, Elecon has entered into a technical collaboration with Renk AG. They are acknowledged for its wide experience in design, manufacture and testing of high-quality special gears for marine propulsion.

The Company's thrust on continued modernization and upgradation of its manufacturing facilities and appropriate tie-ups has ensured that it is always a step ahead in technology.
