Raghu Vamsi Group's UK arm signs three-year MoU with University of Sheffield's AMRC

Hyderabad-headquartered Raghu Vamsi Group, through its UK manufacturing arm PT Precision Machined Components (PT-PMC), has signed a three-year MoU with the University of Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC). The Hindu reported the agreement on October 15, 2026.

What the PT-PMC and AMRC Agreement Covers

The AMRC is a leading institute in super alloys and single crystal castings. Raghu Vamsi said the agreement will strengthen its manufacturing footprint in the UK and India and support its diversification into the aerospace and defence sector. It will help bring AMRC's expertise and build the know-how for the Super Alloys facility the Group has proposed in Telangana.

PT-PMC and AMRC will work together to strengthen manufacturing processes and introduce advanced, digitally enabled practices across PT-PMC's UK operations. Their partnership will also look at specialised capabilities and technology-led improvements to meet the sector's future requirements.

"As we set up a super alloys facility and R&D centre in Telangana, this collaboration will help us build the technology foundation for the sector, with the vision of making the State a global leader in super alloys," said Vamsi Vikas Ganesula, managing director of Raghu Vamsi Group.

A key focus will be strengthening the UK-India supply chain. AMRC will assess logistics, carbon impact and inventory linked to the movement of materials between the UK and India, and the partners will explore ways to improve efficiency and prepare PT-PMC for relevant aerospace and defence industry accreditations.
