Last year, the Indian government approved the private sector to produce ammunition as part of the "Make in India" program. The defense ministry floated a tender from a domestic private manufacturer for the supply of a range of ammunition.
The list includes 125mm armor-piercing types for T-90 & T-72, 40mm multiple grenade launcher/underbarrel grenade launcher ammo, 30mm ammunition used by armored infantry carrying vehicle, 122mm grad rockets for Pinaka series and bi-modular charge system.
Twenty-five Indian companies responded to the request issued by the ministry last November. Indian companies can form a joint venture with foreign companies to produce such items under complete transfer of technology agreement. Russian company Rosoboronexport, Rheinmetall Defense, Diehl Defense of Germany and Elbit of Israel may form a joint venture with Indian companies for the production.
