KOLKATA: The DumDum Ordnance Factory is planning to have global presence in the near future by exporting its arms components to NATO and African countries.
"Our products are of the highest quality and our cost of production is also low. What we are producing are only addressing the needs of the country. So in the near future if we can increase production we can export our products," the factory's General Manager, Vinod Kumar Singh said.
"We have plans in the near future to export our products to NATO and African countries. It is a long term plan, it is still in a planning stage. We have sent the plan to the Ordnance Board," Singh said.
The factory produces ammunition boxes, tail units for air force bombs such as TU-250 And TU450, 20 round and 30 round polymer magazines for 5.56 assault rifles, LMG 5.56, tail unit 100-120 kg air bomb and other components for arms and armaments used by the Indian armed forces.
"Now we are changing from component manufacture to technology manufacture. It requires total change in mindset," Singh said.
Singh said that from the next financial year, the factory would also produce parts for the T-90 tank which were being imported from Russia.
