L&T’s FICV Prototype at Defexpo 22.
I think the turret is unmanned and the chassis might be from K-9 (Not sure on this part)

The hull is based on improved abhay IVF(that's running theory rn) and the turret seems to be an independent design with a new 40mm cannon(the cannon is most likely a foreign design being license produced)
Not sure who ordered.

BMP-2 Infantry Fighting Vehicle of #IndianArmy

It is a really effective IFV. Its Armour is good enough to stop 20mm rounds, meaning the #PakistanArmy M113 can do it no harm, while it's 30mm canon will tear apart the M113.#IADN pic.twitter.com/jzfWQvrQkt

RCWS on IPMV.
What I am more excited about is the under development 30mm Naval Surface Gun.RCWS is going on every possible turret where they can mount it. See the 30mm turret dev req. If it fits, it sits

Nothing in particular. Only what is available in public domain.
IN and ICG want to have a 30mm Naval Surface Gun to replace their CRN-91 naval gun. So, a new 30mm naval surface gun will be developed. It is under 4th positive indigenisation list with effect from 2030 onwards.
It will be something similar to DS30M Mark 2 and SMASH.
Chinese Norinco has created VN-20 IFV based on VT-4 tank. It weighs 50 t, has 100 & 30 mm canons, ATGM plus 2-3 machine guns. Carries only 6 soldiers though, compared to 8-10 in others.
