HYDERABAD: AZAD Engineering Private Limited, a Hyderabad-based market leader in precision engineering, is approved as the first Indian company to supply critical rotating parts for nuclear turbines. The first set of critical parts has now been delivered and will be assembled on nuclear turbines manufactured in Belfort, France. According to a release here on Thursday, Azad has signed a long-term supply agreement with GE Steam Power for the supply of nuclear turbine parts.
GE Steam Power offers a broad portfolio of technologies and services for power plants helping customers deliver reliable power as they transition to a lower carbon future.
