The Ordnance Factory Board has revived the anti-aircraft guns production and has also received some extra demand for 'some items' in the wake of the border tension with Pakistan, a top OFB official said Wednesday.

"There has been demand for some items which cannot be revealed and we are fulfilling," OFB chairman Saurabh Kumar said when asked whether there had been some extra activity in the OFB plants post the Pulwama terror attack.

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of CII annual regional meeting he said the cumulative order book of OFB factories will be around Rs 50,000 crore
