Reverse engineering have its problems, first there is no garunty the product made would be better than its original, also time taken to copy on tech is same to produce a better one..

True but as the Firtina was based on the same design, it is plausible that they first got a few K9's for testing.

100 made-in-India Bofors artillery guns
Ritu Sharma Express News ServiceLast Updated : 28 Feb 2012 08:32:38 AM IST
NEW DELHI: Defeating the ghost of Bofors scandal that has haunted successive Congress governments, the Indian Ordinance Factory Board (OFB) has set on a daunting task of manufacturing 100 Bofors artillery guns indigenously from scratch, nearly 24 years after the first of these Swedish guns were inducted into the Indian Army.
The Indian Army has already placed an order with the OFB and the effort if successful will save the country millions and would give the country a capability to further improvise the guns to add punch to its firepower.
Speaking exclusively to Express, Minister of State for Defence M M Pallam Raju said: "The Indian Army has put a substantial order for 100 of these Bofors guns. It is a huge task for the OFB. If we are successful, it will be a huge technology boost to the Indian defence market."
The designs are already with the OFB and the Indian Army's decision to go for 100 guns at the beginning of the project and testing the guns simultaneously as the manufacturing goes on, will cut down the time of fructification of the project.
Earlier, the Army contemplated first getting the two prototypes of the guns, then putting them to extensive field trials. Once the designs were validated, the guns were to be mass produced.
Seeing the delays in previous projects, the defence ministry has decided to set up a Monitoring Committee to oversee the progress of the project and involve the Army in the project from the beginning.
