Explanation
Dhanush is a 155 mm/45-calibre towed artillery gun developed and manufactured by the Ordnance Factory Board (now Advanced Weapons and Equipment India) as an indigenous upgrade of the Bofors FH-77B design, with trials from 2016. It is not a DRDO missile, an ISRO launcher or a HAL aircraft. Hence the Ordnance Factory Board is the correct manufacturer.
