Oh, any news about machine gun/marksman /sniper version?

 

[Water Car Engineer]

Oh, any news about machine gun/marksman /sniper version?

None. ARDE is working on a dedicated LMG though, a completely new design.

From what I am hearing, 2016 is being lined up to be a BIG year for "Make in India", a directive that has gone out to all ministries is that MII is not to be some long term policy with nothing to show for it in the the future. As such, there will be a lot of deals signed under MII next year including some truly historic ones. Headlines being predicted for at the first 6 months of 2016 for are something big on the Rafale , infrastrucutre megaprojects and American nuclear power projects in India.


Now if those idiot law makers can just get GST and LAB passed...

 

[anant_s]

American nuclear power projects in India.

i can confirm that part.
6 Advanced Pressurized Water Reactors from Westinghouse are coming up at Chaya Mithivirdi, Bhavnagar Gujarat. Each is rated at around 1200 MWe.

I share a similar enthusiasm towards MII and especially 2016 as a year. GST will be passed eventually during next session. LAB's fate is uncertain.

and all 6 will start at one go..

American ? So we lost it.

Things will improve from April next year when Congress losses 12 seats and BJP gains 12 in RS. Infact what i have heard is some big bang reforms are lined up for next Union Budget. GST therefore will get rolled out in FY 16-17.
LAAB though is looking is bit messy now.

I sincerely hope GST i passed as early as next year my friend, this could be a turning point in Modi's term where the perception, that some are trying to establish as the narrative, that he is all talk is mooted and it is clear that he has started to deliver.

Anyway, what I have stated above this is not my opnion of what will happen but what I have heard is likely to happen from very well informed sources.

 

[anant_s]

American ? So we lost it.

Absolutely not.
France will setup 6 EPR (1650 MWe) at Jaitapur. The issue of Liability clause is more or less sorted out and then we'll see Areva/EDF start project.

 

[Abingdonboy]

American ? So we lost it.

I sincerely hope not my friend and I don't see the two projects as being mutually exclusive, as @anant_s has stated, the American PWRs are for Gujarat- not Jaitapur. The AREVA plant in Jaitapur has progressed since Modi's visit to Paris in April 2015 and the Indian demand for nuclear/renewable energy is collossal with more than enough space for everyone- America, France and Russia.

No for the Nuclear Reactors from US, more likely that the French ones would get some further momentum.

36 Rafales are almost a done deal - it is the order expansion which interests me with regards to who among the Indian corporates would be roped in. I would personally prefer Tata, RIL or L&T.

In Infra major projects - Their fate depends on LAB as you have rightly said. However expect a big annoucement with regards to Railways - I have a hunch that Govt would take baby steps towards privatization in form PPP.

GST looks tough, preparatory period of 6 months is necessary along with that lots supporting bills need to be passed. If Budget session is a damp squib then I have no hopes for GST being implemented in '16.

As for other big news - Expect India to be a part of few Elite Multilateral organizations like NSG and the Missile Control Regime. UNSC is still a dream though. How relationship evolves with Pakistan and China would determine the progress on this front.

Lots of Defense Goodies, Logistics agreement with US which can lead to ToT in domains of Engines, Drones and Air craft carriers.

Big question mark is FGFA - I have no clue what is the path ahead on this but again have a hunch that it is not gonna work out for us hence we are left with two options

a. Stop Gap Arrangement in form of Rafales - Order size increase by 100+ with JV/High Offset. While we keep working on AMCA

b. F-35 - Unlikely as that would scuttle the S-400.
