Doesn't make sense.

No army in this perfect world will ever wait for such long time for weapons.

They won't order considering these much time for delivery. As simple as that.

We need tech about how to mass manufacture different defence systems in given time frame.

Desi Bofors howitzer undergoes final trials in major boost to indigenization

Both the Army and OFB, in fact, are "quite excited" about Dhanush, which performs "20-25% better" than the original Bofors gun in virtually all parameters like range, accuracy, consistency, low and high angle of fire and shoot-and-scoot ability. "It outclassed the Bofors during the trials in Sikkim at sub-zero temperatures at 11,500 feet altitude," said an official.

The Army hopes to plug at least some of its operational gaps in long-range, high-volume firepower through the initial induction of 414 Dhanush guns. The OFB has already been given an order of over Rs 1,260 crore to make 114 howitzers. There was a slight setback to the project when the barrel of a Dhanush prototype burst during firing trials at Pokhran in August last year. But officials contend it was the use of "old ammunition with air bubbles" that led to the accident. "The inquiry established there was no fault with the barrel or its metallurgy," he said.

As per the plan, OFB will manufacture 18 howitzers in this financial year, followed by 50 in the next, and 100 per year thereafter," said the official. Based on the current production plan, it will take around 6 years (2020) to produce all 414 Dhanush guns. As of June 2014 ..

Finally expecting production in mass ..

Sir,this is a stop gap measure only. Wait for ATAGS. The specification for ATAGS is very very impressive.once fruitified it will be a world class product. it will 60 Kms range with weight being just 12 tonnes(Good enough to be pradropped).

OFB is also working on a 52 cal Dhanush. 52 cal Dhanush is more of an upgrade and a way to gain production experience. - Saurav Jha

I suspected this long back, Posted a thread on it long back

It is indeed impressive but it will take time to come up, See Dhanush was ready back in 2011 but its getting inducted in late 2015 ..

Dhanush is a imediate requirment to replace mass of M46 guns, ATAGS will be a game-changer in eastern sector ..

M777 ultra-light howitzers in India through a private Indian production agency

Most significantly for the Army, the government has cleared the manufacture of 145 BAE Systems M777 ultra-light howitzers in India through a private Indian production agency, likely to be among L&T, Tata or Mahindra Defence. Boom. A deal back from the dead.

^^ I think the above is a Temp term solution, I hoping for Kalyani .co`s product ..

 

[sgarg]

Large capital investment has been approved for OFB for improving production capacity. I think artillery procurement will be on track soon. Army will begin receiving news guns this year (after a VERY LONG TIME).

Orders need to be placed for MGS and Kalyani guns also. Army is too bureaucratic and slow. Now GOI is very active and quick but the existing bureaucracy remains the same.
