Apparently, according to Prasun Sengupta (where these pics are from) these guys are not really MARCOs. I had my doubts too about these guys but intrigued as to the truth. He promises he will explain later.

Doubtful because Tavors were recently inducted within the MARCOS and for the VBSS teams to jump from INSAS to Tavor with all the toys and the new camo in a few months seems "the flash" fast.Lets wait what the journo has to say.Was surprised to see all their faces if they were MARCOS,they are very camera shy something they learnt from the SBS.

Precisely, part of by doubts. IN MARCOs are notorious for their secrecy and it is doubtful you'd get a group of MARCOs operators gathering round for a group photo for a journo/public release. However I am struggling to think who these guys could be given their new camo and weapons, as pointed out by Boris, this gear was only recently inducted by MARCOs and so the "filter down effect" (we'd expect) would take some time.

Just have to wait see what Prasun says.

Although there have been rumours for some time about a naval infantry/Marine corps (directly under control of IN) being raised for readiness by the end of this decade and deployment off IN's (soon to be inducted) LHD/LPD.

They are not MARCOS...... They are so obsessed with their identity.

IA loves Tavor, IN loves Tavor, CRPF loves Tavor ..yet our babus in MoD are going for another international tender to replace INSAS. Just buy the Tavor with ToT and make it in India..is it too hard to understand for our babus and netas.

Indian marines get Tavor

Last month India received a consignment of 500 IMI Tavor TAR-21 rifles and 30 Galil sniper rifles worth $4 million. The rifles are destined for India's Navy Marines. Space War reports ...
