Just a concept on which IA has showed interest of loitering ammo which could be fired from standard 155 cal howitzers. Nothing on ground as of now.
Does this give any real advantage over other loitering munitions? Other than reaching the target early.

Depends on how you design it.

But IMO, it would bring into play a huge capability boost. Just imagine launching them from such inaccessible areas where deploying vehicle mount launcher would be hard or tough. In other words you could launch these ammos from virtually anywhere in mountainous terrain.

The company will employ the rotorcraft to cater a variety of services including chattee, shuttle, urban mobility, HEMS, aerial work, search and rescue and law enforcement. The platform suits the criteria for such roles, and the company hopes to order 5 more if it feels necessary.

This is great news a private company procuring LUH means its operational costs are competitive Globally
