The Indian Army is reportedly set to induct the first batch of its domestically developed and manufactured Dhanush artillery howitzer.

State-owned Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) is building the Indian Army’s long-range artillery gun. The company is expected to deliver five howitzers to the army’s Central Ordnance Depot in Jabalpur.

Indian Army officials were quoted by NDTV as saying: “The Dhanush guns would be inducted into the army at a ceremony to be held in Ordnance Factory Jabalpur on 26 March where senior functionaries of the army would be present.”

A total of 114 Dhanush artillery guns are currently on order. A regiment of 18 guns is expected to be inducted by the end of this year.
