The Indian Army intends to purchase about 3000 155 mm towed, wheeled, and tracked artillery systems as part of the Field Artillery Rationalization Plan. Native research and production must be used to meet the demand for artillery guns. Nalanda Ordnance Factory will soon begin producing the vital bi-modular charge system. The technology was developed domestically at HEMRL, a DRDO lab.
