A man-portable multi-role weapon system for the Indian armed forces will be produced at a facility in India that Swedish defence giant Saab revealed on Saturday. The facility will produce Carl-Gustaf recoilless rifles.
In addition, Saab will collaborate with Indian sub-suppliers, and the systems produced at the plant will completely adhere to the “Make in India” standards, according to Mats Palmberg, Chairman and Managing Director of Saab India Technologies.
“We are fully committed to enabling the Indian government’s ‘Atmanirbhar’ approach to defence capability. To that end, Saab is setting up a manufacturing facility for Carl-Gustaf in India, further strengthening production in the country,” he said.
