The dream of having an indigenous aircraft carrier would not have materialised had it not been for a little-known steel factory in Odisha. The first good news in India’s two-decade-long quest to construct an aircraft carrier came from the Steel Authority of India (SAIL) factory in Rourkela which delivered a special quality military-grade steel — DMR-249A — for building Vikrant.
In the late 1990s, the Indian Navy acquired a Russian formula on military-grade steel, but had no idea about the process and chemistry. The Naval Material Research Laboratory and Heavy Engineering Corporation first gave it a go, but failed.
The Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory and SAIL picked up the baton and, after a few years of trial and error, delivered top-quality steel to the shipyard, saving the country hundreds of crores.
The experience helped Indian steel factories manufacture such steel for indigenous construction of every warship and submarine. A second special type (DMR249z25) was created for Vikrant’s machine and engine rooms so that the chambers are protected from a torpedo hit. The DMR249 steels are one of the military items that India wants to export, thanks to Project IAC or Indigenous Aircraft Carrier, now known as Vikrant. This is not an isolated example.
Several other Vikrant technologies such as the explosion-proof automatic energy lamp and transparent RF shielding now find applications outside the military
No, they can't do that because majority of the prototypes were rolled out without critical sensors and working engine. They're yet to complete the CDRI can safely bet that in all likelyhood we will see a TFX flight before the AMCA, despite all this nonsense about "fighter jets since 1960(lol HAL Marut).
