Know about Armament Research & Development Establishment (ARDE)

ARDE was created in 1958 to establish self-sufficiency in the area of armaments. This was the organization's original mission statement. The Ammunition Research and Development Establishment (ARDE) first operated out of a makeshift location on the grounds of the Ordnance Factory Board's Ammunition Factory in Khadki. Personnel were recruited from the Indian Ordnance Factories' former Technical Development Establishment (Weapons) in Jabalpur and Technical Development Establishment (Ammunition) in Khadki. Both of these establishments were situated in the state of Uttar Pradesh.

In 1966, ARDE relocated to its current site in Pashan, which is on the outskirts of Pune and is directly next to the National Chemical Laboratory, which is a significant CSIR Laboratory.
