No import of ammunition from next year: Army
The Indian Army plans to stop all imports of ammunition from the next financial year, as the domestic industry has increased its capacity to meet demands and potentially gain a share of the global market. The army has found indigenous sources for nearly 150 of the 175 ammunition types it uses, and aims to completely cut off imports by 2025-26. With gradual curbs on imports, only 5-10% of requirements are met from foreign suppliers.
