@Johny_Baba can you please give us a little insight into the ASMI? Regarding its mechanism, internals, advantages and disadvantages etc?
already provided my brief overview in previous post bro, although since then i've found that in some places i was inaccurate regd Asmi's design (mainly about its fire selector which is placed at other place) so don't take it exactly at face value but my overall assessment is here...
Wow,what a day!
First LCA Deal getting cemented and this Asmi 'Machine Pistol' revealed (i'd rather call it a SubMachine Gun owning to its size,it's perhaps same sized as JVPC in terms of length i believe but anyway)

This is my initial observations from available pics,View attachment 73665
from initial observation i can say they have made two prototypes, I'll call that black one as version A and one in hand of good soldier with sandy finish as version B for current reference, A has shorter barrel and frame than B.

One thing is sure to me - these aren't simple "Glock Conversion" kits despite appearing like one and taking standard glock mags (even pistol grip is modeled after it) BECAUSE barrel is fixed on the receiver while Glock is a short-recoil pistol whose barrel locks-unlocks with sliding frame and tilts around - doesn't seem to be the case here. This pattern of fixing barrel;actually Barrel Extension or Barrel Trunnion; ,(possibly) Non-Reciprocating Charging Handle of this pattern and monolithic upper receiver makes me think someone took inspiration from FN SCAR + HK MP7 and build a machine pistol-SMG thing outta it, bravo!

As far as open source information, Anamika was developed post 26/11 time frame, when H&K refused to do buiseness with some states of India, citing human rights concern. It was even showcased by OFB in some Arms exhibitions.
However, since 2013-14, H&K has resumed buiseness. In addition, our armed forces and police have discovered MP-7 from B&T. Thus Anamika got sidelined.

As far as JVPC is concerned, last heard news was that it cleared Army trials in December 2020. However, no formal order have been placed by Army yet.
