Thanks for highlighting the issue, legally they should have produced the proof of concept, but still could have been supported. I am sure with the money they will get from fulfilling orders from making Pinaka and other components which are DRDO's R&D, they will have enough money to fund their own.



Why does urgency emerge only after an operation or crisis? Solar Industries had submitted proposals under the Make-II category back in 2022 for high-mobility long-range precision rocket systems; Maheshwarastra-1 with a 150 km range and Maheshwarastra-2 with a 250 km range. If such capabilities suddenly become critical today, then why were these proposals not pursued seriously then? Three years is a sufficient timeline to develop and mature such systems indigenously. This reflects a deeper issue of long-term capability planning and strategic vision. If the requirement was foreseeable and modern battlefield trends clearly indicated it was, then delaying indigenous development only increases future dependence and emergency procurement pressure. Calling this “unnecessary controversy” misses the actual point. The concern is about institutional foresight, timely decision-making, and whether India wants to build capabilities proactively or only react after operational gaps become visible.

While Melody ‘sweetens’ India-Italy relations, reminder of a less sweet fact: 3 Italy-built AW101 VVIP 🚁 have been sitting mothballed in an IAF hangar at Delhi's Palam Air Base since the 2013 Augusta scam broke. Blacklist on company was lifted later. 3x🚁 unused for 13 years.
