The Indian government’s reorganisation of the Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) into seven Defence Public Sector Undertakings (DPSUs) has yielded remarkable results, with the DPSUs reporting a net profit of ₹1,625 crore for FY25, a significant turnaround from the ₹2,844 crore loss in 2019-20. This shift to independent entities has fostered financial discipline, modern management practices, and strategic clarity, aligning with the “Aatmanirbhar Bharat” initiative for self-reliance in defence manufacturing. The reform not only enhances the efficiency of defence production but also positions India as a competitive player in the global defence market, paving the way for collaboration between public and private sectors and bolstering India’s defence export potential.
