Privatisation of defence establishments

There is no proposal of privatisation of Defence Public Sector Undertakings (DPSUs) and Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) under the administrative control of Department of Defence Production. However, to enhance functional autonomy, efficiency and unleash new growth potential and innovation in Ordnance Factories, the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) in its meeting has approved to convert the production units of OFB into 7 DPSUs.
