India’s state-run Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) has got an order from the US to supply ammunition

India’s state-run Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) has got an order from the US to supply ammunition. The OFB, one of the country’s oldest defence establishments, has received an export order for 5.56X45 mm NATO M193 Ball bullets from the US. “The ammunition will be manufactured at Ordnance Factory Varangaon in Maharashtra and will be supplied in the current fiscal year,” OFB Deputy Director General Gagan Chaturvedi told IANS. He also said that the ordnance factories have been exporting ammunition to foreign nations and have been fulfilling the commitments within the given time. India had inherited 18 ordnance factories established by the British at the time of Independence. Currently, the OFB oversees 41 factories, 13 development centres and nine institutes of learning. The government is pushing for the corporatisation of the OFB, citing that it has been an ailing intuition and they want to make it at par with other defence public sector undertakings managed by its own board of directors with broad guidelines from the government. The government has envisioned growth of the OFB post corporatisation, expecting it to raise its turnover to Rs 30,000 crore by 2024-25 annually against existing Rs 12,000 crore, and has set up a high-level panel to work out a roadmap to achieve the same. The corporatisation of OFB will improve its autonomy, accountability and efficiency in Ordnance Supplies, it had stated.

Well one thing they are still stuck in 1980s type commercials. They should embrace corporatization or even privatisation, that's the only way forward

when they have a client locked in for life, the don't need good commercials.
these commercials are for us, who have been questioning the usefulness of OFB's existence.

If you see how Russia has overhauled it's MIC that is commendable different verticals all geared towards promoting made in Russia.
Kalashnikov concern is a good example it leverages on its Kalashnikov lineage but expanded product portfolio with UAV, special forces gear and even foraying into civilian products.

His most recent/pinned post is about saving farmers ( yeah save them by promoting and saving dalals, middleman)
He is regularly sharing tweets from commies like Kanhaiya Kumar, propagating propaganda pelted by leftists, congis....
Calls everyone who trended #UnemploymentDay as "Krantikaris(revolutionaries)", what a sad state of affairs that abdul mass tweeting from pakiland for 2cent a day is a krantikari according to this mahamana....
As Kumata said, he is a boomer commie, abusing nation, army is nothing new for them.

I don't understand the current government's wet fantasy for communists. They have seen how these people work and how deeply they are embedded in the government ecosystem. Then how hard is it for them to kick these people out when they are in power?

Until the government of India comes down hard on communists and these rogue trade union goons, India will continue to worsen and falter despite having potential.

 

[Tshering22]

When is the privatization of OFB is starting as per government plan.
This can have a massive pushback as people in india are used to socialist like structure. Any deviation might cause unrest.
People in PSU are Aramtalvi ..."lunch ke baad ana" culture should be crushed but expect a massive unrest or even riots.

Privatizing OFB is the only way forward. There is no other way. People from DFI here should write en masse to the Ministry of Defence. Spam the hell out of Rajnath Singh and make some sort of poll to demand privatization of the company.

OFB Laser Aiming Module with HUD (probably)
