4th change in 7 yrs
In its tender last year, the Army had sought 7.62x51 mm rifles that would have cost Rs 2 lakh each
On August 31, 2018, a fresh Army tender listed demand for 6.50 lakh assault rifles with lower specification i.e. 7.62x39 mm
Each rifle will now cost one-fourth the amount. This is fourth change in seven years.
The first was the multicalibur tender whereas the second was the 7.62x51 requirement.
This is old news but interesting to read.
