Production of the self-propelled howitzer is expected to be completed in the next four years.
DRDO has begun the howitzer development work on a self-funding basis, but the project could not be accomplished due to issues pertaining to Bofors guns.
The Indian Defence Ministry recently cancelled the procurement tender of 180 wheeled, 155mm, 52-calibre howitzers.
