New Delhi, Nov 11: Delivering an impressive performance in administrative clean-up and asset recovery, the Department of Defence Production (DDP) under the Ministry of Defence has generated Rs 22.19 crore in revenue through the scientific monetization of scrap, condemned machinery, and electronic waste, while weeding out more than 95,000 redundant records under the government’s nationwide Special Campaign 6.0.
The institutional initiative—executed across two synchronized phases from October 2 to October 31, 2026—was aimed at reducing administrative pendency, institutionalizing workplace hygiene, and optimizing public office real estate across Defense Public Sector Undertakings (DPSUs) and ordnance establishments. The department reviewed an unprecedented 55,000 electronic files and 45,000 physical documents, culminating in the formal weeding out of 51,230 e-files and 43,952 obsolete paper files.
Beyond digital housekeeping, the systematic disposal of accumulated metal scrap, obsolete military manufacturing remnants, and electronic waste freed up a massive 19.35 lakh square feet of prime commercial and industrial floor space across defense production units nationwide. The revenue generation of Rs 22.19 crore represents a sharp jump over the Rs 15.62 crore realized during the preceding Special Campaign 5.0 edition.
On citizen responsiveness and public accountability, the department successfully processed and resolved 136 public grievances alongside 17 appellate petitions, while concluding 11 parliamentary and VIP references. Senior defense ministry officials affirmed that systematic record preservation, continuous digital file archivism, and clean workplace protocols will remain institutionalized as permanent standard operating procedures across all defense production installations.
