The Defence Food Research Laboratory (DFRL) was established on December 28, 1961, at Mysore especially to cater to the strategic operational requirements of our Services and to provide logistical support for food supplies and varied food challenges of Indian Army, Navy, Air force and other Paramilitary Forces. DFRL is the leader in convenience foods and packed ration developments in this country. Indigenous ingenuity is the hallmark of most of the technologies developed at DFRL.
