Arms purchase up, yet Army faces barrel crunch
The New Indian Express Bhubaneswar|December 26, 2024
AT the time when the Indian Army is modernising its offensive capabilities, specifically in the Artillery and the Armoured Regiments, a Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) audit exercise has reported "shortfall of barrels and breech mechanisms ranging from 30-100 per cent of the production capacity" during 2015-22. A delay in the supply of ammunition has also been noticed.

The CAG audit also found that augmentation of production capacity of large calibre weapons in ordnance factories "could not be completed (January 2023)", even though an expenditure of ₹292.32 crore (₹253.13 crore P&M + ₹39.19 crore civil works) was incurred.

The CAG has advised the Ministry of Defence and Defence public sector undertakings to "work out a revised time frame and put in place a strengthened monitoring mechanism to achieve project deliverables."
