Ordnance Factories Day – March 18

The backbone of India’s defense production, Ordnance Factories Day honors the vital role of Indian Ordnance Factories (IOFs) in equipping our armed forces with state-of-the-art weapons, ammunition, and defense systems. Observed annually on March 18, the day commemorates the establishment of India’s first Ordnance Factory in Cossipore, Kolkata, in 1801.
