\nThe ‘Dhanush’ project involves the indigenization and upgradation of the 155mm x 45 calibre Bofors Howitzer into a 155mm x 45\/52 calibre artillery gun. At the time the project was ongoing and the question likely pertains to the primary developer, the Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) was the entity responsible for the manufacture of the Dhanush gun.
\n<\/section>\n
\nDhanush is a towed howitzer developed by the OFB, based on the transfer of technology agreement for the Bofors FH-77B howitzer. It is often referred to as the ‘desi Bofors’ and is considered one of the first long-range artillery guns indigenously produced in India.
\n<\/section>\n
\nFollowing the restructuring of the Ordnance Factory Board in 2021, the production of large-calibre weapons like the Dhanush now falls under the purview of one of the new Defence Public Sector Undertakings (DPSUs), specifically Advanced Weapons and Equipment India Limited (AWEIL), based in Kanpur. However, at the time referenced by the question, OFB was the correct answer.
