A BHEL note stated that HPVP was supplying titanium alloy elliptical domes to VSSC-Trivandrum. The domes form a critical part in Stage-4 propellant tank of Satellite Launching Vehicle PSLV. Concerted joint efforts of BHEL-HPVP and VSSC have resulted in successful processing of first batch of pre-machined titanium alloy elliptical domes. The tools and process technology developed at BHEL-HPVP yielded value addition and cost savings.
