Since the Indian army carbine contest for replacing 9mm sterling carbine is heading towards single vendor situation due to withdrawal of colt (usa) and Barretta (italy) citing unrealistic time frames and stiff financial clauses, the non participants of FN Herstal (Belgium) and Heckler&Koch (Germany), and since insas excalibur/mk1c has also fulfilled IA gsqr, it's likely to be scrapped as always. Therefore it is the right time to ram dawn their throat this insas excalibur rifle, just like tejas fiasco against the iaf, because similar assault rifles such as ak, m4 and tavor etc are used in carbine role. One thing ofb need to do is that they should have a shorter barrel version of the current 16 inch one.
