The prestigious assignment for New India@75 undertaken by the Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) under the Central Government’s Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat Policy for establishment of a new ammunition hardware project to manufacture 125 mm FSAPDS (Fin Stabilised Armour Piercing Discarding Sabot) AMK 339 ammunition with Russian collaboration is well on course for timely completion at the High Energy Projectile Factory (HEPF) here.
Ninety per cent of civil works have been completed for the project named ‘Mango’ and the dedicated infrastructure will be readied by next month.
Indigenisation
The HEPF has taken up indigenisation of the raw materials/ components/ consumables for the ammunition and will be in a position to commence production from December 2021 well in advance, vis-a-vis the deadline set at mid-2022.
