@mist_consecutive. @Chinmoy. @porky_kicker. Gentlemen. Is there a pic of any Indian atgm complete with Clu ?
After 5 years, and numerous trials there is not a sight of a complete manportable atgm !
It seems a farce tbh
farce?
RFI was issued in 2019 for 3rd Gen MPATGM.
Now IA has two 3rd gen MP ATGM to choose from, BDL Amogha-3 and DRDO MP-ATGM.

I believe BDL Amogha-3 and DRDO MP-ATGM are used to refer to similar system. If you analyze their specification they are very close match.
a few differences exist too:

-DRDO has soft launch, amogha doesn't yet.
-form factor is different.
-amogha went thru 1st , and 2nd and 3rd gen in sequence. DRDO built their based on learnings from NAG and other ATGM programmes.

this bit not sure
- whether propulsion control is same or not in both?

but ultimately BDL will be manufacturing both.

Larsen and Toubro to showcase their Wheeled Armoured Fighting Vehicle 8x8
(Reece & Support) at #DefExpo2022

Key Specs :
- ATGM
- 30 mm Gun
- 7.62 Coaxial Gun
- Smoke Grenade Launcher
They also are the manufacturer of DRDO 600hp engine and transmission. The gun probably is a variant of Sudarshan ciws . Pretty much covers everything will give TATA kestrel tough competition

Indian Army issues tenders for buying guns, missiles, drones under emergency powers
New Delhi [India], September 18 (ANI): With an aim to gear up for the future and fight future wars with indigenous weapons, the Indian Army has issued multiple tenders to buy guns, missiles, drones and many other systems from domestic manufacturers for meeting critical requirements under emergency procurement procedures.

“We have invited the Indian defence industry to offer critical defence equipment for emergency procurement. Proposals are being fielded for guns, missiles, drones, counter-drone, loiter munition, communication and optical systems, specialist Vehicles, engineering equipment and alternate energy resources,” the Indian Army said today.

The process will be based on compressed timelines, wherein the procurement window will be open to Indian Industry for six months and the industry would be expected to deliver equipment within one year of signing the contract. Procurement cases will be based on Open Tender Enquiry, the force said.

Under emergency procurement powers, the armed forces can buy equipment worth Rs 300 crores under capital procurement cases and Rs 500 crores under revenue procurement cases.

The clearance for making these procurements was accorded to the three services in the last defence acquisition council held by the Narendra Modi government.

The forces have been granted these powers for a six months window where they can buy any weapon system of their choice produced under the Make in India route.

However, earlier the services had the freedom to do deals with foreign vendors also directly and multiple contracts were signed post-May 2020 in which Heron drones, Spike anti-tank guided missiles and many other critical requirements of the forces were fulfilled.
