Telangana pushes Aerospace and Defence ambitions at NDE 2026 in Hyderabad

The commitment was highlighted during NDE 2026, organised by the Indian Society for Non-Destructive Testing (ISNT) at HITEX in Hyderabad, which brought together experts, industry representatives and technology leaders from the aerospace and defence sectors.

During the event, discussions focused on technological advancements, future industry opportunities and the growing importance of non-destructive testing in ensuring the safety, reliability and quality of critical engineering components.

Non-destructive testing plays an important role in aerospace and defence manufacturing by enabling the inspection of materials and components without damaging them. Advances in testing technologies are increasingly important for industries working with high-precision engineering and sophisticated manufacturing systems.

The Telangana government emphasised its determination to create greater opportunities for local industries, MSMEs and young professionals while strengthening the state's position in the global aerospace and defence supply chain.

The government also reaffirmed its ambition to take ‘Made in Telangana’ products and technologies to international markets, positioning the state as a competitive destination for advanced manufacturing, innovation and defence-related investments.
