The “Dhanush” 155mm x 45 Calibre modern artillery gun system, developed jointly with the Indian Army and manufactured by the Ordnance Factories received bulk production clearance in February and the initial order of 114 Guns was placed on the OFB.
Significant contributions have also been made by the DRDO, public sector units such as the SAIL and BEL and several private sector firms.
