Kalyani Strategic Systems Ltd. (KSSL), a subsidiary of Bharat Forge, is set to produce over 350 artillery guns annually, aiming to enhance its presence in international markets, including the U.S. and Europe. Recent suссesses in exporting nearly 100 guns and a partnership with U.S. defence contractor AM General demonstrate KSSL’s capabilities. However, the company awaits a significant order from the Indian Army for its Advanced Towed Artillery Gun System (ATAGS), despite meeting all operational requirements. The slow pace of artillery inductions post-Galwan highlights the need for prioritizing indigenous systems, which align with India’s “Atmanirbhar Bharat” initiative and address current defence needs effectively.
