DEEP MAINTENANCE, OVERHAUL & MODERNISATION

Titan Defence Systems Ltd. (TDSL) proposes to establish Advanced Deep Maintenance, Repair, Overhaul and Modernisation Centres to support the operational readiness and life-cycle requirements of aircraft, helicopters and combat vehicles operated by the Indian Armed Forces.

1. Aircraft & Helicopter Maintenance

The proposed facilities will provide comprehensive airframe and engine maintenance capabilities, including:

  • Airframe inspection, repair, overhaul and structural maintenance
  • Aircraft and helicopter engine maintenance and overhaul
  • Component repair and refurbishment
  • Avionics and electrical systems maintenance
  • Diagnostics, testing and condition assessment
  • Life-extension and reliability enhancement programmes
  • Modernisation and integration of upgraded systems
  • Ground Support Equipment (GSE) maintenance and support

The facilities will be developed in accordance with applicable DGCA/MoD/Service regulations, military airworthiness requirements and OEM technical standards and authorisations, as applicable.

2. Combat Vehicle Base Repair & Modernisation

TDSL will establish dedicated Base Repair and Overhaul (BRO) facilities for combat vehicles and Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs), providing comprehensive refurbishment, modernization and life-extension solutions.

The proposed capabilities will include:

3. Integrated Defence MRO Capability

TDSL intends to integrate its Deep Maintenance facilities with its proposed Advanced Additive Manufacturing and Defence Manufacturing Centres, enabling the development and production of selected replacement components, tooling and specialized parts, subject to applicable approvals and qualifications.

This integrated capability will enable TDSL to support the complete life cycle of defence platforms — from maintenance and overhaul to modernization, component development and technology upgrades.

Strategic Objective

The proposed Deep Maintenance and Modernisation Centres are intended to:

  • Enhance Operational Readiness
  • Extend Platform Service Life
  • Reduce Maintenance Turnaround Time
  • Promote Indigenous MRO Capability
  • Reduce Import Dependence
  • Support Atmanirbhar Bharat

Through these facilities, TDSL aims to establish a comprehensive indigenous Defence MRO and Modernisation ecosystem supporting the long-term operational requirements of the Indian Armed Forces.
