Bhubaneswar: As Indian Air Force (IAF) commenced its 91st-anniversary celebrations with a ceremonial parade at Bamrauli Air Force Station in Prayagraj on Sunday, Odisha had another reason to cheer for.
A firm founded in the state with headquarters in Delhi, Classic Tecnologistics and Trade Pvt Ltd (CTTPL), had been awarded five contracts valued around Rs 90 crore by the IAF. It has been assigned to manufacture augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR) firefighting operation training tools and cargo pallets, which are currently being imported from the US.
The firefighting operation tool, which is a high-end strategic product in the field of defence avionics, will be manufactured both at Berhampur and Noida facilities of the company.
The tools and cargo pallets have been designed and developed in collaboration with IIT, Chennai.
The company has also secured contracts for mobile container kitchens, field toilets and operational container shelters to be used by IAF. “The contracts are part of IAF’s emergency procurement. We will soon start manufacturing the products as per the orders and deliver within a year. The orders solidify our position as a partner in India’s defence and logistics sectors,” CTTPL managing director Ravi Agarwal told TNIE.
The report further said that CTTPL has inked a pact with BEML India, a diversified company supplying products, services and support to defence and aerospace, mining and construction and rail and metro, for development of rough terrain forklifts (RTFL). It also has strategic partnerships with firms in USA, Canada and UK.
