recently, the indian army launched a large tender for the procurement of advanced light artillery. this tender is part of india's "military capability modernization campaign", and its main purpose is to replace outdated artillery systems with modern light equipment using advanced technology.

according to the indian side, the total budget for this bidding operation is 848.5 million us dollars, about 6 billion rmb. at the beginning of the plan, india's procurement target was 400 cannons. however, in order to enhance the combat capability of the army to a greater extent, india is planning to expand this number to more than 1,200.

many defense companies in india and abroad have participated in the competition for this project. among them, the indian defense research and development organization is planning to submit a lightweight version of the towed artillery system with an indian defense company. previously, this system has been widely praised for its excellent range and accuracy.
