Bharat Forge's aerospace division on Wednesday inaugurated a landing gear components machining facility in Pune in collaboration with France-based Liebherr-Aerospace & Transportation SAS, becoming one of the first Indian companies to operate OEM-approved landing gear components machining capabilities. The newly inaugurated facility integrates advanced machining centres dedicated to high-precision landing-gear components, the company said in a regulatory filing.

The company also produces turbine and compressor parts, forged rings, shafts, and discs, along with structural and landing-gear elements. Bharat Forge is also setting up an advanced aerospace ring mill in India to produce high-value forged rings for aero-engine programs.
