MIDHANI also manufactures and markets Bhabha Kavach which is an [[armour]] panel which provides protection against [[bullets]] of different threat levels. A special process developed by [[Bhabha Atomic Research Centre|BARC]] is used to create panels offering Level III and Level III+ ballistic protection while being much lighter than other currently available ballistic armour in the international market. [[Bhabha Atomic Research Centre|BARC]] has transferred the technology of Bhabha Kavach to MIDHANI and the [[Ordnance Factory Board]], for serial production.

=== Biomedical Implants ===

MIDHANI manufactures custom [[Implant (medicine)|implants]]/ [[biomedical]] products to suit the specific requirements of [[patient]]s and [[Physician|doctors]], for e.g., [[Knee replacement|Hinge Knee Joint]], [[Hip replacement|Ace tabular cup with attached Iliac Wing]] and Lumbar Puncture Needle Device etc.

MIDHANI conforms to [[ASTM]], [[British Standards|BS]], [[ISO]] & [[Bureau of Indian Standards|IS]] & other standards for materials as well as [[biomedical]] products. MIDHANI has facilities for [[inspection]] and [[quality control]] for surgical implants like - full range of [[Mechanical Testing]], comprehensive Physical and Magnetic testing, total range of [[Nondestructive testing|NDT]] including [[gamma ray]], [[Ultrasound|ultrasonic]], magnetic, [[Dye penetrant inspection|dye penetrate test]] etc.<ref>http://midhani-india.in/Biomedical.jsp</ref>

=== Nickel–Titanium Shape Memory Alloys (NiTi-SMAs) ===

Under the [[Make in India]] initiative, MIDHANI has signed a [[Technology transfer|Transfer of Technology (ToT)]] Agreement with [[National Aerospace Laboratories|National Aerospace Laboratories (CSIR-NAL)]], a Bangalore based premier R&D Laboratory, for the processing of Nickel –Titanium [[Shape-memory alloy|Shape Memory Alloys (NiTi-SMAs)]] for Engineering and Bio-medical Applications. The [[Shape-memory alloy|Shape Memory Technology]] is a result of decade of R&D work carried out at [[National Aerospace Laboratories|CSIR-NAL]]. In order to provide a quality healthcare system within the reach of common man, MIDHANI has already ventured into development and manufacturing of world class Titanium Implants using the spin off technologies for defence applications, and is now tapping into the huge emerging potential of [[Nickel titanium|Nickel – Titanium (NiTi)]] shape memory alloys in Bio-Medical Sector (medical devices), especially the stent market for which the Company will manufacture shape memory alloys and market the products for the first time in [[India]].

The total market for NiTi SMA Products in India is estimated to be Rs. 1500 – Rs. 2500 crore which is 3 – 5% of the global consumption. MIDHANI plans to manufacture NiTi Shape Memory Alloys in wires, strips, rods, springs and plates form. Presently NiTi shape memory alloys are not available commercially in the country, and the total requirements are met by import.

By signing this Transfer of Shape Memory Alloy processing Technology and the technological support that would be available from [[National Aerospace Laboratories|CSIR-NAL]] during the start-of-art [[Vacuum induction melting|vacuum melting]] and alloy processing, MIDHANI will enter into the realm of commercial production of ‘smart’ material and will join the band of select few [[shape memory alloy]] manufacturers in the world.<ref>http://midhani-india.in/CSIR-NAL.jsp</ref>
