<h1>Government-backed titanium and super-alloy plant launched to cut foreign dependence, boost strategic supply chains and investment</h1> A state defence minister inaugurated a titanium and super-alloy plant, characterizing recent rapid industrial growth in the state as transformative and crediting the state government's law-and-order improvements and ease-of-doing-business measures for attracting investment. The minister framed the project as reducing historical dependence on foreign suppliers for defence and aerospace materials, potentially strengthening domestic strategic supply chains. The chief minister and other state officials attended and endorsed policies aimed at investor confidence. Legal implications include strengthened governmental support for industrial permits and infrastructure, potential regulatory oversight on strategic material production, and heightened scrutiny of compliance with defence-related export and procurement controls.
