PTC Industries Limited signed an agreement with BAE Systems at the recent DefExpo 2022 held in Gandhinagar, Gujarat to manufacture titanium castings for the Indian 155mm M777 Ultra-Lightweight Howitzer (ULH) at PTC Industries' production facility in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. The first sub-systems will be produced by the end of 2022, and there is a plan to progress manufacture of all three of the major structures (Saddle, Cradle, and Lower Carriage) that form the basis of the gun. As a result of its participation in the M777 programme, PTC will also be able to support the global supply chain of BAE Systems. The M777 Howitzer has unparalleled tactical and strategic mobility and is highly portable by land, air and sea featuring a minimal logistical footprint alongside maximum reliability.

This means that it can be frequently moved and re-deployed, maximizing survivability, without encountering the IED risks faced by self-propelled systems. The M777 can strike over extended distances, regardless of terrain and obstacles. The M777 howitzer in various versions are being used by U.S., Canadian, Australian, and Indian forces.
