why then did the minister issue a tender just a few days back? even he knows that it would fail as there are no companies left to respond. but the main question here is that India would remain a sitting duck till the new guns arrive which is at best 8 years away.

"Today, defence minister A K Antony informed Parliament that the Central Bureau of Investigation had recommended the blacklisting of four companies that had been involved, at various stages of this procurement: Singapore Technologies Kinetics (STK); Germany's Rheinmetall; Israel Military Industries (IMI); and another Israeli company, Soltam. Denel, a South African company, had been blacklisted earlier;"

All the important artillery manufacturer's have been blaklisted in the last 6 years. Quite an achievement Mr. antony. please blacklist yourself and your ministry next.
Singapore technology kinetics , i don't remember what it offered

AFAIK Bhim project was indefinitely postponed when Soltam investigation started. Soltam was supposed to collaborate with DRDO to build Bhim.
Sirji it was a denel turret not by soltam.
Soltam did help in upgunning the 130mm field gun
