Russian companies reportedly eye local manufacturing in India

Sputnik India reports that Russian companies are looking to set up manufacturing in India, quoting DNA Technology executive Sergei Labutin on their interest in localizing products.

Separately, RT India reports that Vice Chief of Army Staff Lt Gen Sandeep Jain visited the Indo-Russian Rifles facility in Korwa to review AK-203 production. It describes a push toward 100% indigenous production—not an achieved milestone—and says the Army's aim is greater self-reliance while keeping operational readiness a priority.
