Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
A welcome change; let’s hope for the best .Also, Ordnance Factories were indeed headed by service officers under British rule ,
I suspect that entrenced lobbies of vendors, trade unions, and elements within the OFB will work overtime to sabotage the idea . The rot so deep that no immediate solution within the framework of current OFB is feasible.
Taking a cue from the Boder Roads Organization, it would be worthwhile considering subjecting the workforce to Army Act.
The country needs a real defense policy, no experience. There have been so many experiences, including at the level of military force employment doctrine! The result is a defense policy that does not exist. Who are the winners of this situation?
He is not a CEO of Ord Fy Korwa. Major General is appointed as a CEO of Indo Russian Rifles Pvt Ltd. Korwa (IRRPL).

An excellent move. Let’s give those guys control of the weapons they protect the nation with which will also ensure they have a better chance of survival while protecting else. It’s responsibility with accountability for a change. None of these duds from the ordnance ever go into war or insurgency areas.

It is one of the best decision as it will bring accountability . Secondly he is from army so he knows quality is of prime importance .
Military bureaucracy gets a shot in the arm. This is nepotism setting a new low !
Privatize ordnance factories. Keep army men in army
A good initiative, worth checking out.
