Ordnance Clothing Factory, Shahjahanpur

The Ordnance Clothing Factory, Shahjahanpur is one of the oldest clothing factories in India, established in 1914 for the purpose of producing garments for use by the Indian military.

History

In 1879, Sir Ashley Eden, Lt. Governor of Bengal, founded three clothing factories in Bombay, Alipur and Madras for the stitching of garments. In 1914, a part of the Alipur factory was moved to Shahjahanpur on an experimental basis for 1 year and named Army Clothing Factory, Shahjahanpur. In 1925, the entire Alipur factory was closed and its work was permanently transferred to Shahjahanpur.
