History

Ordnance Factory Muradnagar (OFM) is one of the metallurgical factories in the family of Ordnance Factories (M&C Group). It came into existence on 01.03.1943 as a transplantation project during the second world war. Since then, the factory has been stagnant for years after years and not adopting itself quickly to the changing needs of the services. Factory still produces Aerial Bombs that are technologically 70 years old and require a plane fly directly above the target to drop accurately.
