Not to me bro- they are all trailer mounted and hence have high mobility, the "bulk" doesn't look like it would be any hindrance.

Indigenous Production of Defence Equipment
The capital procurement of defence equipment / weapons for the Indian Army is guided by provisions of Defence Procurement Procedure-2013 wherein preference is accorded to ‘Buy (Indian)’, ‘Buy and Make (Indian)’ and ‘Make’ categorisation over ‘Buy (Global)’ & ‘Buy and Make (Global)’ categorisation, thereby giving priority to indigenous weapons / equipment. The Government has taken following major steps to promote indigenous manufacturing capabilities of defence equipment in the country:-
• FDI policy in defence sector has been reviewed and as per the revised policy, composite foreign investment upto 49% is allowed through Government route (FIPB) and beyond 49%, with the approval of Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) on case-to-case basis, wherever it is likely to result in access to modern and state-of-the-art technology in the country. Besides, the restrictions such as single largest Indian shareholder to hold atleast 51% equity and complete restriction on Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) existing in the earlier policy have also been removed to facilitate investments in the sector.
• To promote the participation of private sector, particularly SMEs for defence manufacturing, Outsourcing and Vendor Development Guidelines for DPSUs and Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) have been formulated. The guidelines mandate that each DPSU and OFB to have a short-term and long-term outsourcing and vendor development plan to ‘gradually, increase the outsourcing from private sector including SMEs. The guidelines also include vendor development for import substitution.
• To establish a level-playing field between Indian private sector and the public sector, the anomalies in excise duty / custom duty have been removed. As per the revised policy, uniform Custom & excise duties shall be levied on all companies in the public & private sector.
• The Defence Products List for the purpose of issuing Industrial Licences (ILs) under IDR Act, has been revised and most of the components, parts, sub-systems, testing equipment, production equipment have been removed from the list, so as to reduce the entry barriers for the industry, particularly small & medium segment.
• The initial validity of the Industrial Licence granted under the IDR Act has been increased from 3 years to 7 years with a provision to further extend it by 3 years on a case-to-case basis.
This information was given by Minister of State for Defence Rao Inderjit Singh in a written reply to Shrimati Ranjanben Bhatt in Lok Sabha today.

Those Trailers are in fact articulated vehicles where the Trailers are stand-alone units. They are deployed and the Eqpt then function as autonomous units while the prime-movers are disengaged and can be used else-where. While the Army's similar units, remain piggy-backed on their drive units all the time. Thus the difference in size. Form follows Function.

Make in India: BHEL bullish on acquiring defence orders - The Economic Times
By PTI | 22 Sep, 2015, 05.24PM IST
NEW DELHI: State-run power equipment maker BHEL is bullish on defence manufacturing sector, particularly naval, field guns and sub-marines, which is being opened up and is looking for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for partnership.
Over the years, the company has made significant contributions for naval guns and Integrated Platform Management System (IPMS), BHEL Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) B Prasada Rao said at the company's 51st AGM held here.
The 'Make in India' initiative in the defence sector is opening up large opportunities in naval and field guns, sub-marines, etc. BHEL is actively pursuing these opportunities by partnering with global OEMs, he added.
In spite of 2014-15 being an extremely challenging financial year, BHEL secured orders worth Rs 30,814 crore, an increase of 10 per cent over the previous year, in intensely competitive domestic and overseas markets, Rao said.
Despite severe market shrinkage and stiff competition in the power sector, BHEL maintained its leadership position with a market share of 72 per cent for the second consecutive year.
By expanding its offerings, the company secured 89 per cent of its total orders in the power sector on engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) basis.
"At the end of the year, total orders in hand for execution in 2015-16 and beyond, stand at Rs 1,01,018 crore," he said.
For the third time in a row, BHEL synchronized/ commissioned power projects of more than 10,000 MW in a single year.
Power projects totalling 11,941 MW were commissioned during the year, inclusive of 10,230 MW utility sets, 1,392 MW captive sets/ industrial sets in the country and 319 MW in overseas markets.
"2014-15 marked a turnaround in the Indian hydropower sector with an addition of 736 MW to Central utilities, the highest in a decade. Notably, entire 736 MW of hydroelectric projects were commissioned by BHEL," Rao said.
At the meeting, Rao informed shareholders that 2014-15 saw the highest power capacity addition in the country.
However, the generation sector is still to come out from the stressful conditions which have adversely affected the power sector development for past three to four years.
Major constraints including non-availability of long-term coal linkages to identified projects, inability to ramp up indigenous coal and gas production, rising prices of imported fuel, poor financial health of state discoms and land acquisition had been hampering the sector, the CMD said.
In the last one year, certain proactive steps taken by the government, including allocation of coal blocks through e-auction, rationalisation of fuel prices and expeditious clearance of projects has provided much needed relief.
However, the retarding force which was created by the market shrinkage of the last three to four years, continued to impact BHEL's operations for the second consecutive year, he said.
"BHEL has faced these challenges, and from managing growth to managing slowdown, the company has demonstrated its strong inherent competitiveness as reflected from its sustained market leadership, continued focus on innovation and excellent project execution," he added.
In the renewable segment, BHEL has been in the field of solar Photo-Voltaics (SPV) for nearly three decades now. It has developed capabilities to supply complete SPV systems on EPC basis for both off-grid and grid-interactive requirements.
It has also geared itself to take up EPC of large size solar projects (i.e. greater than 50 MW) to address emerging market trends and the increased potential in this segment, Rao said.
BHEL still faces many challenges but recent policy initiatives taken by the government are likely to improve the business environment and provide momentum to existing and upcoming projects, he added.
"The company is focusing on leveraging its intrinsic capabilities to build a strong foundation for the coming years," Rao said.
