DTL
receives National Award for Excellence
DTL
proudly walked away with a National Award for Excellence in Indigenisation
of Defence Equipment, instituted by the Ministry of Defence (Department
of Defence Production & Supplies) at the Awards function held
in Delhi, on January 25, 2000. We have successfully indigenised
the hydraulic pumps for lubrication and transmission used in the
T-72 Tank. We made a major effort by studying and translating
the Russian specifications and further modifying the design to
meet the requirements of the next higher assemblies.
Needless to say, the indigenisation
of these items has saved valuable foreign exchange in addition
to the fact that India need not rely so heavily on supplies of
spares from foreign countries. And so our Aerospace Division is
all set to take on even larger projects. We’ve been producing
the wings and the rear fuselage for the Lakshya. With the Indian
Airforce indenting for another 100 Lakshyas from HAL, our Aerospace
Division will surely be hard pressed for time. We’ve been
developing and producing Power Packs for HAL and machining aerospace
components for Aircraft and Aerospace Divisions. We’ve also
developed Power Packs for Combat Vehicles Research & Development
Establishment (CVRDE). We hope to also provide some of the systems
for the Main Battle Tank Arjun (developed by CVRDE), in the near
future. We’ve also developed the Distributor Mechanism for
T-72 Tanks and pilot samples have been sent to the Heavy Vehicles
Factory (HVF) at Avadi. The clearance for bulk production is due
shortly. We’ve also started getting orders from other ordinance
factories. For the one at Medak, we’ll be producing the oil
lubrication pump for Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs).

Hyundai-DTL: Partners

JKM Dae Rim Automotive Limited (JDAL),
our joint venture with Dae Rim, Korea, has widely expanded its

LRQA approves DTL’s
Quality Management System
If DTL today, is Asia’s
largest producer of hydraulic gear pumps and the fifth largest
in the world, it can only be attributed to the role of quality
- the cornerstone of our success over the last 25 years. Employees
down the years, have been an integral part of the quality saga.
DTL has been constantly striving to improve, expand and innovate
itself to attain the highest quality standards. So the approval
from Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance, a leading international
accredited certification body for quality assurance, comes as
little or no surprise.
We were keen to have our system assessed by
an independent accredited body and chose LRQA because of its experience
in the Industrial and Automotive sector. LRQA is a subsidiary
of Lloyd’s Register the world’s premier ship classification
society, and a leading independent technical inspection, certification
and advisory organization.
At the Awards Function, the Managing Director
Mr. Udayant Malhoutra made a millennium commitment to lead DTL
into taking the plunge with QS 9000 and ISO 14000 standards as
well. "It’s not just the certificate we are looking
at, but the process of quality behind it", he said.
