India Test-Fires Fully Indigenised AK-203 ‘Sher’ Rifle

What does 100% indigenised mean?

• The prototype uses components and materials sourced from Indian industry rather than imported parts.
• The rifles are being produced by Indo-Russian Rifles Private Limited under an India-Russia joint venture for the Indian Armed Forces.
• The project is intended to replace older INSAS rifles while building domestic small-arms manufacturing capacity.
