CSD, under Ministry of Defence, sells varied products exclusively for military and select civilians.
The Canteen Stores Department, affectionately known as “CSD,” stands as a cornerstone Government of India Enterprise under the Ministry of Defence.
Operating within major military bases across India, CSD has earned the distinction of being the country’s most profitable retail chain. Offering a diverse array of products ranging from household essentials and kitchen appliances to automobiles and sporting goods, CSD caters primarily to active and retired members of the Armed Forces.
Originally exclusive to Armed Forces personnel, CSD has progressively expanded its eligibility criteria to include a broader spectrum of individuals and organizations associated with the defense sector. This now encompasses various entities such as GREF, NCC Units at Group HQ level, TA units, CDA’s staff, Indian Ordnance Factories, Embarkation HQs, civilians funded from defense estimates, civilians funded from civil estimates, and Paramilitary forces under the Army’s operational/administrative jurisdiction. All products are procured in bulk quantities, ensuring a robust supply chain.
