Defence Minister Rajnath said on Thursday that the process of corporatisation of the Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) will be completed in one year.

The minister was speaking at the Atmanirbhar Bharat Defence Industry Outreach Webinar, which was jointly organised by the Society of Indian Defence Manufacturers (SIDM), Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) and Department of Defence Production (DDP).
