Carborundum Universal Limited (CUMI) is aligning its advanced materials expertise with the Indian Navy’s modernisation goals, focusing on survivability, stealth, and lifecycle performance. The company's materials, such as Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide and advanced ceramics, enhance naval vessel capabilities, reduce weight, and improve resistance to ballistic threats.

Innovations like resin film infusion techniques aid stealth operations, while lightweight composites and thermal barrier coatings extend service life and reduce maintenance. CUMI's commitment to indigenous manufacturing supports the Navy's strategic autonomy, enabling faster repairs and upgrades. This approach contributes to the development of a resilient defence-industrial ecosystem in India.
