HYDERABAD: The Ordnance Factory Medak (OFM) is expected to produce futuristic infantry combat vehicle (FICV), Arjun armoured recovery and repair vehicle, command infantry carrier vehicle and Nag missile carrier (Namica) for the use of the armed forces.
OFM general manager Alok Prasad said that in spite of Covid-19 restrictions, the factory achieved its target. “Due to the entry of private defence manufacturers in the new business environment visualised by the government of India for ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat,’ the factory has to emphasise more on research & development and production of new products,” he said. Ordnance Factories Day was celebrated on Thursday at the OFM, Yeddumailaram, in Sangareddy district.
