This day is celebrated on March 18 every year. Ordnance factories were established on this day about 203 years ago. The first Ordnance Factory is now called the Gun and Shell Factory Cossipore, Kolkata.
In all, there are 40 Ordnance Factories spread all over India. Ordnance Factory Board, Kolkata, under the Ministry of Defence Production governs them. All the defence requirements from small arms to weapon systems, armoured vehicles, transport vehicles, battle tanks to troop comfort items, and communication cables and ammunition are manufactured indigenously, using multi-discipline technologies, comparable to the latest in the world.
