Pune Ammunition Factory sends first consignment of fully indigenised 40 mm UBGL to BSF

Inspired by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s clarion call for an “Atmanirbhar Bharat’’, the Ammunition Factory in Pune’s Khadki on Wednesday (August 12, 2020) said that it has dispatched the first consignment of indigenised 40 mm Under Barrel Grenade Launcher (UBGL) to the Border Security Force. PRO Defence, Nagpur took to Twitter to share that the Pune Ammunition Factory has sent the first consignment of indigenised 40 mm UBGL to the BSF. “With this, the Ammunition Factory Khadki, Pune also wrote a new chapter on self-reliance and indigenization of 40 mm UBGL Ammunition production on August 11, 2020, by sending the first consignment to the BSF,” the Defence PRO tweeted. This ammunition is fired from a launcher fitted under the barrel of 5.56 mm Rifle (INSAS). The 40 mm UBGL ammunition has several advantages over the traditional hand grenade - It is lightweight, has a range of 400 Meters as against the hand grenade which has a range of 30 Meters. Further, it can be fired by the same equipment by the soldier and it is also very safe ammunition for carrying by the soldiers. There are four varieties of this ammunition:- a) 40 mm UBGL (Practice); b) 40 mm UBGL (HEAP); c) 40 mm UBGL (HEDP); d) 40 mm UBGL (RP) 40 mm UBGL AMMUNITION is designed and manufactured by the Ammunition Factory, Khadki with the components sourced from Indian Industries. This ammunition has been imported by the Indian Army and Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) Units. Thus, there was a perceived need to indigenize the design and manufacture the ammunition in India. M K Mohapatra, Sr General Manager, Ammunition Factory, Khadki handed over the Inspection Note of the 40 mm UBGL (Practice) manufactured at AFK to BSF DIG Ashok Kumar Jha on August 4, 2020. Hari Mohan, DGOF & Chairman, Ordnance Factory Board and M K Mohapatra, Sr GM Ammunition Factory, Khadki flagged off the First Consignment of 40 mm UBGL (Practice) to BSF in the presence of Senior Officers of OFB, AFK and Members of JCM, Works Committee and Unions and Associations on 11 Aug 20. With this event, Ammunition Factory Khadki joined the national endeavour to make India self-reliant in direction of defence production and save valuable foreign exchange, the Defence PRO tweeted.

BSF to undergo tech upgradation, to get 436 drones and new anti-drone systems
With Rakesh Asthana taking over as full-time Director General of the Border Security Force (BSF), technological upgradation of the force has started with approval for 436 small and micro drones for border surveillance and anti-drone system being currently tested on India-Pakistan border to shoot down any drone carrying weapon-load for terrorists in Punjab, and Jammu and Kashmir.

Under the Comprehensive Integrated Border Management (CIBM) plan, all 1923 border outposts manned by BSF on Pakistan and Bangladesh border will be equipped with sensors, CCTV and drone feeds from the sector headquarters with as many as 1,500 posts (as rest are in remote locations) being able to fly drone to recce the border and use anti-drone system to shoot any weapon pay-load transportation from across.

According to senior Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) officials, while the cost of small and micro drone will come around Rs 88 crore, the BSF with the help of security agencies is currently testing an indigenous anti-drone system on the sensitive Punjab border with Pakistan. In the past one year, Pakistani deep state is using Chinese commercial drones to transport assault rifles, pistols and grenades to the Khalistani terrorists in Punjab as well as jihadis in Jammu and Kashmir.


By killing five Pakistani intruders carrying assault rifles and Afghan heroin on Friday morning, the new DG has made his intentions clear that the BSF will be pro-active on both the borders and will not allow any anti-India activity. It is understood that the BSF chief personally spoke to the company commander who carried out the successful operation in Taran Taran sector.

As Rakesh Asthana also holds the charge of DG, Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), the G Branch or the intelligence branch of the BSF is also being revived so that Afghan drugs do not make their way across the Pakistan border or the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir. In this context, a common strategy will be adopted between the BSF and NCB to bring big cross border drug kingpins to book as the narcotic trade funds the cross border weapons smuggling and terrorism both in Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir. In the past decade, India has not only become the hub of drug transhipment but also a major consumer of narcotics like heroin and cocaine from Afghanistan.
