"India's Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) produces 5.56 mm SS-109 rounds at its Jabalpur unit in central India and even exported small quantities to Israel and Thailand in 2008-09, but domestic production declined drastically soon after."


Why?!

Anthony mama fucked up defence Industry.

 

[Koovie]

At least we made the order and did not start a tender that takes half a decade to complete

Why?!

What happened here??


Get rid of these under performing PSUs and give such production over to the private sector, they can handle it easily. No need to have the OFB under state control, with strict regulations on arms in place in India the same results of strict arms control can be achieved but with far greater productivity .

I don't think private co.'s are allowed to manufacture any ordinance/explosives?

Anthony mama fucked up defence Industry.

Sure as hell he did. And the def min before that, and the guy before that - all the way to George Fernandes (as far
as I know about recent history).

Jaitley mama needs to work, real hard.

Why doesn't the government auction the Ordinance Factories to private players? Sounds like an excellent idea to me. Modi must implement 'Minimum Government Maximum Governance' as promised during the elections.

[AUz]

So even for basic ammunitions, india has to give contracts to foreign suppliers?
