MIL, AVNL granted Miniratna status after Operation Sindoor
Nagpur: Soon after Operation Sindoor, two key defence public sector undertakings (DPSUs), formed out of the ordnance factories three years ago, have been granted Miniratna status.
The order by the ministry of defence classifies Pune-based Munitions India Limited (MIL) and Chennai-headquartered Armoured Vehicles Nigam Limited (AVNL) as Miniratna category-1 PSUs.
PSUs are classified as Maharatna, Navratna, and Miniratna based on their importance and performance. Miniratnas are further divided into Category-I and II PSUs. MIL is engaged in making a whole gamut of ammunition and has units in Chandrapur and Bhandara in the region.
Considering the exigency, the leaves of employees in MIL's Chandrapur and Khamaria (Madhya Pradesh) factories had been cancelled during Operation Sindoor.
MIL also received substantial export orders recently. One of the highest-selling items was the 155 mm shell used in Bofors-like howitzers. AVNL is engaged in making battle tanks. With its flagship unit located at Avadi near Chennai, it also has a key facility making military vehicles at Jabalpur.

The Vehicle Factory Jabalpur (VFJ) is one of the oldest units of the ordnance factory organisation. Lately, it started a project to revive the old Jonga jeep used by the army in the 1960s and 1970s. The ordnance factories were corporatised in 2021 as part of measures to improve their efficiency. As a PSU, the factories have to achieve financial self-sufficiency. Seven PSUs, including Yantra India Limited (YIL), which has its headquarters in Nagpur, were made out of the 41 ordnance factories.
