सेनाओं ने संकेत दिया था कि भविष्य में रात के समय होने वाली लड़ाई (नाइट वॉरफेयर) मुख्य रूप से होगी। इसलिए, इस ज़रूरी क्षेत्र में आत्मनिर्भरता हासिल करने के लिए
भारत में नाइट वॉरफेयर के लिए अलग-अलग तरह के पाइरोटेक्निक गोला-बारूद का उत्पादन शुरू करना ज़रूरी हो गया था। रक्षा मंत्रालय की उत्पादन और आपूर्ति समिति की
बैठक में इस नई फ़ैक्टरी को स्थापित करने की ज़रूरत पर विचार किया गया और जनवरी 1977 में सरकार ने इस प्रोजेक्ट को मंज़ूरी दे दी। यह फ़ैक्टरी कई तरह के पाइरोटेक्निक
गोला-बारूद बनाती है। देश में यह एकमात्र ऐसी फ़ैक्टरी है जो इस तरह का गोला-बारूद बनाती है। चूँकि यहाँ इस्तेमाल होने वाली सामग्री बहुत संवेदनशील होती है और उसमें बहुत
ज़्यादा ऊर्जा होती है, इसलिए उत्पादन प्रक्रियाओं में सुरक्षा बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है।
