INTEL SIGNALS

The Army requirement is generally described as about 300 mounted 155mm gun systems in the first phase, with possible growth to 700-800. Bharat Forge/Kalyani and TASL demonstrators are visible, and trials/technology demonstrations are ongoing, but no signed MGS procurement contract was found. Budget is therefore left blank rather than preserving an unsupported estimate.
