Yes it was projected as any day, probably they had some price negotiation due to other factors (Israel supply, spares etc) ? normally it would be contract on same terms as before.
Anyway
Little snippet from the crane company, expecting ~700 crores order from the army.

MoD signs contract worth Rs.1,752 Cr with AWEIL for 463 Stabilised Remote Control Guns for Indian Navy & Indian Coast Guard
Posted On: 14 FEB 2024 3:01PM by PIB DelhiThe Ministry of Defence has signed a contract on February 14, 2024 with Advanced Weapon Equipment India Ltd. (AWEIL), Kanpur for manufacturing & supply of a total of 463 indigenously manufactured 12.7 mm Stabilised Remote Control Guns (SRCG) for the Indian Navy & Indian Coast Guard at a total cost of Rs. 1752.13 crores, with Indigenous Content (IC) of more than 85%.
The SRCG will enhance the capability of Indian Navy and Indian Coast Guard to accurately engage small targets that post a threat to ships in an asymmetric environment, both by day and night.
This acquisition will provide further boost to the vision of "Aatmanirbharta in Defence". This contract will also open up a large avenue in defence manufacturing for over 125 Indian Vendors and DPSUs for over a period of 5 years.
You are slowly becoming the victim of a hate-India campaign led by leftists.
Don't you know that armed forces cannot import anything without DRDO approval?
Only emergency purchases happened without DRDO approval, but all other big deals like MRFA and this new towed gun tender, all of it has to be approved by DRDO before they become official tenders.
We are lagging behind in all our procurement projects because DRDO holds all major programs hostage. Every step of the way DRDO starts a new program in exchange for allowing an import program. For example, MRCBF happened because TEDBF was approved. TGS contract is also subject to minimum ATAGS procurement. AMCA approval and MMRCA were also similarly connected.
You need to learn how this process works. DRDO is given first priority, and only after they fail is an import program given approval, by DRDO themselves. You are just not aware of how big of a failure DRDO really is.
Modi is the one who for the first time created a level playing field by forcing DRDO to compete with foreign OEMs. When DRDO approached Modi to get more power, the forces objected, so he forced open DRDO to open competition through DPP-2016, and Parrikar improved that with DPP-2020. Now DRDO has to compete with everybody. Take FICV, FRCV etc, DRDO is now merely a participant alongside both Indian and foreign OEMs. The same with pretty much every other weapon, including artillery guns. Only the best for the forces, whether it's DRDO or not.
And it's because DRDO's power was diluted that so many Indian companies are now entering the defense sector. It's also led to a significant increase in prestige for India.
Where is the DAC cleared /AoN granted deals are posted? I could not remember so posting here.

BDL ppt, Astra delivery has started.
Aplollo Microsystems new plant laid stone , will make defence stuff, missiles unmanned systems etc.
Good overview of TATA's capabilities.
Thank god that C295 deal happened. Remember the push back came from the HAL/DPSU job security guys.
We got lucky here, but we lost out in helicopters, where DRDO and HAL successfully killed all foreign cooperation projects, even stopgap measures.
Next up is MRFA. DRDO/HAL are working overtime to kill it. If they succeed, then from a half generation gap, we will fall behind the Chinese by a full generation until the 2040s. Then they will have two monopolies.
Mr Prashant, manager of HTT 40 project who moved to AMCA has joined TASL probably in this C295 project.
But Corrupt army is hellbent on procuring garbage stryker which does not even fullfills our requirement.
