The Artillery Centre in Nashik, the largest of its kind in Asia, has a rich history. Located behind the Pandav Caves, the Centre was relocated from Pakistan following the India-Pakistan partition in 1947.

Since then, it has been a key military facility for the Indian Army, known for its advanced artillery training, including the use of the renowned Bofors gun. Over the years, the Centre has trained more than 270,000 armed forces personnel, playing a crucial role in bolstering India’s defence capabilities.
