India Finalizing Naval Guns Deal With Israel's Elbit Systems
India's Ministry of Defence (MoD) is finalising price negotiations with Israel's Elbit Systems for 747 12.7 mm naval remote weapon stations (RWSs), worth an estimated INR19 billion (USD282 million), for the Indian Navy (IN) and Indian Coast Guard (ICG).
Industry sources said the MoD is expected to complete the RWS deal,
which it quoted was "substantially lower" than that of British rival
EMDigital.
The deal includes importing 136 RWSs with electro-optic modules off the
shelf and the remaining 611 systems in kit form for assembly by the
state-run Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) unit at Tiruchirappalli, southern
India. Ammunition for the 12.7 mm RWSs would be manufactured at the OFB
plant in Kolkata.
