NEW DELHI: The defence ministry on Friday signed a ₹7,629-crore contract with Larsen & Toubro for 100 more self-propelled K9 Vajra-T guns that will be manufactured locally with technology transfer from South Korean firm Hanwha Techwin.
The procurement of the 155mm/52 calibre guns will catalyse the artillery modernisation and enhance the overall operational readiness of the Indian Army, the defence ministry said.
"This versatile artillery gun, with its cross-country mobility, will play a pivotal role in enhancing the firepower of the Indian Army, enabling deeper strike with precision and its lethal firepower will bolster the capability of artillery in all terrains," the ministry said in a statement.
