The Defense Ministry has invited the Tata Group, Israel's El Bit, and
Britain's BAE Systems to upgrade 155mm
39 caliber Bofors howitzer guns by the
end of the year for USD 400 million.
The upgraded gun will have a longer
range and take 45 caliber shells. The
Defense Ministry has been increasingly
sourcing work to private sector.
Recently, it awarded a Rs. 500 million
contract to the Tata Group and Larsen
and Tubro to develop the launcher,
fire control systems, and guidance
electronics for its Pinaka
multi-barrel rocket launcher.
