All AKs are the same thing. New ones come with modern furniture.

Wikipedia say AK 19 is being build Keeping a foreign customer in mind. Who is this customer ?
. According to a representative of Kalashnikov Group, Vladimir Onokoy, this version of the rifle was designed due to a big number of requests from customers
.Revealed during the ARMY-2020 exhibition, the AK-19 is a variant of the AK-12 chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO cartridge that is currently under development upon the request of potential international clients

People shitting on kalashnikov should remember,for infantry assault and COIN AK still can't be matched by sig which is for long range firefights mainly.Also expect sig to be much more of a reliability headache.
Absolutely not a 'headache'. It'll do its job. Bet the house that the army won't have any complaints with the Sigs whatsoever.

A Galil would have been way better than the AK for infantry.

Yup, AK's (albeit modern ones) are best for regular foot soldiers.

Why tf is NSG getting so much? I mean what is their use now?
Now every state has its separate police departments with their own CICT SWAT forces that will tackle terror threats plus funny thing is that all these police tactical units are trained by NSG itself and have similar equipments also, why wasting money on NSG when it is of no use now or else deploy them for active CICT ops in Kashmir.
what an uneducated and dumb statement.

Counter it with facts, every state has NSG trained personnel in Police plus Terrorism is now focussed by Pakistan into insurgencies and fidayeen attacks and less into bomb blasts and 26/11 type attacks. Plus NSG will always be the last one reaching the encounter site. Either put them in active combat or else it is useless.

Compare the prices.Galil is too costly also 50% or more, and tge advantages its going to bring dont justify the cost.

They do.
You get a much more ergonomic, accurate platform. And it will be right about as much as what OFB is quoting for the AK 103, and that is if they are bought from Punj Lloyd.

It may have been as you said if
a.) OFB didn't inflate the price so much in the name of ToT. And
b.) If the army was getting the actual AK 203.

Sig are specifically for LoC, where troops are in bunkers and have ammo stocked up. And ammo is really heavy. 7.62 NATO isn't good for infantry. Thats why we replaced FAL in the first place. It wouldn't work anywhere else. We should've just gone for 5.56mm for all other troops. Rifles of different barrel lengths.
