RFP responses typically do not contain highly sensitive information, but only generic information for compliance of criteria.

-AnkitIn what will be a major boost to self-reliance for military equipment, the Ministry of Defence is set to give permission for procurement of the first lot of 40 artillery guns made by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) in collaboration with two Indian manufacturers.
The guns called the Advance Towed Artillery Gun System (ATAGS) performed “very well” in winter trials in Sikkim last week.
The Army has given its go-ahead after seeing the performance of the weapon. Any additions or improvements to the gun can be incorporated in later versions. This will include auto-loading of ammunition and certain other specifics like reduction of the weight of this 155 mm, 52-calibre gun
The MoD had sanctioned the ATAGS project in September 2012 and the DRDO partnered with Bharat Forge and Tata Power (Strategic Engineering Division) SED to develop two prototypes of the towed artillery guns. A prototype was part of the Republic Day Parade in 2017.
The Army is looking at hundreds of such guns. India had not ordered any new 155 MM artillery guns since March 1986 when 410 pieces of the Swedish company Bofors’ FH-77B 155mm/39 calibre howitzer were purchased for Rs 1,500 Crore. However, in the past 24 months, the ATAGS is the third artillery gun that is set to be purchased or made.
Rs 900-cr project
The guns, called Advance Towed Artillery Gun System, performed “very well” in trials in Sikkim last week
The MoD has now asked the DRDO to move the proposal for procurement and get the production rolling
This will cost around Rs 900 crore even as the finance wing of the MoD wants a price check
Don't be surprised if the end user doesn't place an order for the next lot of piecemeal 40 units until unless desired additions/improvements (autoloading, weight reduction, etc) are incorporated! Meanwhile, antiquated equipment soldiers on.Vivek K wrote:What a dismal order -30 guns by two manufacturers? Give a microscopic order yet expect quality as from a large world-class line!!
That is good news. Should have however order 400 units.manjgu wrote:on the contrary i think we should be thankful that even 40 have been ordered and the winter trials have actually ended on a positive note !!

Come on, all of you do know that limited series production is required to set up the manufacturing line and one cant magically overnight ramp up production.Indranil wrote:It Is difficult to stand by Army’s acquisition arm. How come the orders for a demonstrated desi world beater has to start at 30-40, while gold plated FH777s can start in the hundreds straight away? If I put aside all my love and respect for the Army for a while and try to answer the question bereft of all emotions, it is difficult to justify.
Indranil I really wish you would educate yourself about the acquisitions process. Orders are placed by MOD not Army Acquisitions wing as you claim. There is a process - this is a new gun (never made before and these manufacturers have never made arty guns) so the ministry will not sanction a full blown order. I would like nothing better than orders of hundreds of ATAGS immediately because I am a firm believer in capabilities of these Indian pvt firms. We really need to give them big orders and we need arty asap. There is no better solution than ATAGS and there is no question of foreign gun. That’s a figment of imangination. No arty will be procured from overseas period.Indranil wrote:It Is difficult to stand by Army’s acquisition arm.

What did Bharat Forge request from the army some years ago in context of B52. And what happened.
This is good. DRDO become the single point of management for the Production. Brings in a proper Project Management skills. No more develop and not worry about Production.The MoD has now asked the DRDO to move the proposal for procurement and get the production rolling
