Azad Engineering inaugurates 7 600 sqm manufacturing facility in Hyderabad

Mumbai, Apr 23 (PTI) Precision engineering firm Azad Engineering on Thursday inaugurated its 7,600 sq meter lean manufacturing facility at its Centre of Excellence in Tunikibollaram, Hyderabad, to support global supply chain for global energy technology firm Baker Hughes.
     Built for scale, speed, and precision, the advanced lean manufacturing infrastructure is fully integrated with Azad's Centre of Excellence and Innovation Centre ecosystem, contributing to India's growing global manufacturing strength, the company said.
     This is the company's fourth dedicated facility, adding to earlier expansions and underscoring the company's aggressive capacity build-out to meet surging global demand across aerospace, defence, energy, and oil and gas sectors.
     "This facility is part of our deliberate strategy to build a dedicated, world-class manufacturing facility complete with in-house special process capabilities exclusively for Baker Hughes," said Rakesh Chopdar, Chairman and CEO, Azad Engineering.
     Azad Engineering said its partnership with Baker Hughes began eight years ago with supplying critical rotating airfoils for gas and steam turbine finish stages, and has since grown into a deep, strategic partnership for the industrial and energy technology business.
     "Azad Engineering's new facility is a significant milestone that strengthens Baker Hughes' global supply chain and supports our long-term growth strategy," said Davide Marrani (Vice President for IET Operations) at Baker Hughes.
     "Telangana's precision engineering sector has grown 30 per cent year-on-year for a decade, with exports surging 103 per cent last year alone, supported by over 1,500 MSMEs and repeat investments from global OEMs like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, GE Aviation, Safran, Airbus and Honeywell.
     "Backed by India's most progressive industrial policy and tailor-made incentives, our vision is to move beyond manufacturing and establish Telangana as a Global Centre for Engineering Innovation. This partnership between Baker Hughes and Azad Engineering is a blueprint for world-class collaborations our ecosystem is built to deliver," said Telangana Minister for Industries and IT D Sridhar Babu.
