Rs 14,000 crore 'Make in India' boost for Indian Army through Akash missiles, ALH Dhruv choppers procurement
New Delhi [India], August 30 (ANI): In a major boost to 'Make in India' in the defence sector, the Indian Army has sent proposals worth around Rs 14,000 crore to acquire two regiments of the Akash-S air defence missile system and 25 Advanced Light Helicopters (ALHs).
The proposal is with the Defence Ministry and a decision on the approval is expected soon at a high-level meeting to be chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, government sources told ANI.
The Akash-S missiles are a new variant of the Akash missile system with a new indigenous seeker which helps in improving the accuracy in taking down enemy aircraft and cruise missiles at distances up to 25-30 kms, they said.

Weren't most of these emergency purchases? So fast approval was a must. But still there is a lot of deli dallying, artillery, lch, luh.....
The emergency procedued doesn't includes the said above. They were to be procedued on fast delivery basis. The administrative laziness is still there.

Which truck is this. Its not from Paramount Group or Mandus Group. What other countries has Kalyani got a tie up with?
.
Has this been inducted? Or trials?
There is a requirement for 814 Mounted Gun Systems from the Indian Army. Those are meant to be 155mm 52 cal. This is 39 cal. So no, it hasn't been inducted. There are already offerings from OFB, DRDO, TATA and L&T in the 52 cal segment.

The truck I’m not sure, but the gun itself if I’m not wrong has been developed with Mandus as a consultant.
