Inspired by the Prime Minister’s clarion call for an Atmanirbhar Bharat, Ammunition Factory Khadki, Pune, wrote a new chapter on self reliance and indigenization of 40 mm UBGL Ammunition production on 11 August 2020 by sending the first consignment to Border Security Force.
Inspired by the Prime Minister’s clarion call for an Atmanirbhar Bharat, Ammunition Factory Khadki, Pune, wrote a new chapter on self reliance and indigenization of 40 mm UBGL Ammunition production on 11 August 2020 by sending the first consignment to Border Security Force.
This ammunition is fired from a launcher fitted under the barrel of 5.56 mm Rifle (INSAS).
The advantages of 40 mm UBGL ammunition vis-a-vis traditional hand grenade are as under:-
1) It is light weight
2) Range is 400 Meters in place of 30 Meters of hand grenade.
3) It can be fired by same equipment by the Soldier.
4) It is also a very safe ammunition for carrying by Soldiers.
There are four varieties of this ammunition:-
a) 40 mm UBGL (Practice)
b) 40 mm UBGL (HEAP)
c) 40 mm UBGL (HEDP
d) 40 mm UBGL (RP)
40 mm UBGL AMMUNITION is designed and manufactured by Ammunition factory, Khadki with the components sourced from Indian Industries. This ammunition has been imported by Army and Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) Units. Thus, there was a perceived need to indigenize the design and manufacture the said ammunition.
M K Mohapatra, Sr General Manager, Ammunition Factory, Khadki had handed over the Inspection Note of the 40 mm UBGL (Practice) manufactured at AFK to BSF DIG Ashok Kumar Jha on 4 August 2020.
Hari Mohan, DGOF & Chairman, Ordnance Factory Board and M K Mohapatra, Sr GM Ammunition Factory, Khadki flagged off the First Consignment of 40 mm UBGL (Practice) to BSF in the presence of Senior Officers of OFB, AFK and Members of JCM, Works Committee and Unions & Associations on 11 Aug 20.
With this event, Ammunition Factory Khadki joined the national endeavour to make India self reliant in direction of defence production and save valuable foreign exchanges by way of import substitution.
