MoD inks Rs 409 crore contract with Indian company for 10 lakh grenades

印度国防部与本土企业签订价值40.9亿卢比合同，采购100万枚手榴弹

NEW DELHI: Indian soldiers will now finally get modern hand grenades instead of grappling with ones of a vintage design of World War-II. The defence ministry on Thursday inked a Rs 409 crore contract with an Indian private firm for the supply of 10 lakh 'multi-mode’ hand grenades.

新德里：印度士兵终于可以用上现代手榴弹了，不用再用二战时期的老式手榴弹了。周四，印度国防部与一家印度私企签署了一份价值40.9亿卢比的合同，采购100万枚“多模式”手榴弹。

The contract for the hand grenades, which were designed by the Terminal Ballistic Research Laboratories (TBRL) of DRDO, was inked with M/s Economic Explosive Ltd (EEL) or the Solar Group of Nagpur. The contract will be executed over two years.

手榴弹由DRDO的终端弹道研究实验室(TBRL)设计，合同是与 M/s Economic Explosive Ltd（Nagpur太阳能集团）签署。该合同将在两年内履行。

This is the first such contract inked with a domestic private company. In the past, such ammunition products were either imported or made by the state-owned Ordnance Factory Board (OFB), which has 41 factories.

这是与国内私企签署的首份此类合同，过去这类弹药要么是进口的，要么是由拥有41家工厂的国有兵工厂委员会(OFB)制造的。

The hand grenade project has been hanging fire since 2011 because the same grenades made by the OFB repeatedly failed to clear DGQA (directorate general of quality assurance) tests. It was finally approved by the Defence Acquisitions Council in March 2019, with the contract being inked on Thursday.

自2011年以来，由于OFB生产的同款手榴弹多次未能通过DGQA(质量保证总局)测试，手榴弹项目一直处于停滞状态。该合同最终于2019年3月由国防收购委员会批准，并于周四签署。

“These grenades, which will replace the exsting ones of World War-II vintage design used by the Army, have a distinctive design because they can be used in both fragmentation or stun modes,” said a defence ministry official.

国防部官员称:“这些手榴弹将取代现有的二战时期陆军使用的老式手榴弹，具有独特的设计，使用模式有碎片模式和眩晕模式。”

“This is a flagship project showcasing public-private partnership enabling the government’s 'AtmaNirbharta' initiative in cutting-edge ammunition technologies and 100% indigenous content,” he added.

他补充说:“这是一个旗舰项目，展示了公私合作关系，在尖端弹药技术和100%本土研制方面贯彻了政府的‘自力更生’倡议。”

It is shocking to know that Indian army lacks mostly all modern equipments even after 70 years.

令人震惊的是，独立70年后，印度军队仍然几乎没有什么现代装备。

Junk Use

why are you surprised? that is #corrupt congress for you.

有什么好惊讶的?这都是拜腐败的国大党所赐。

R S waraich

This is make in India. I hope they are not like ordinance factory ammunitions which blast in barrel thereby rendering the gun useless. Best of Luck.

这才是“印度制造”。我希望这些手榴弹不会像OFB工厂生产的弹药那样在枪管里爆炸。祝好运。

Aditya Chaudhary

Really, one wonders what did the previous governments did for the country. Politicians were busy looting the public in the name of de ocracy. Finally we have a stable govt. Long may it continue. Our economy will recover hopefully in a couple of years. Don't forget friends that sometimes we need to take a step back to take a big leap afterwards. India's leap will definitely come. Believe!

真想知道前几届政府为这个国家做了什么。政客们正以民*的名义大肆压榨民众。我们终于有了一个稳定的政府，希望这届政府能长期执政。我们的经济有望在几年内复苏。有时候我们需要后退一步，然后再迈出一大步。相信印度的飞跃肯定会到来。

For trials, please use it on j& k terrorists.

要试验的话，就拿查谟和克什米尔的恐怖分子来练手。

Ashish Bandyopadhyay

I'm surprised that our Armed forces keep on using WW-II model.

Shame on Congress & Associates.

令我惊讶的是我们的军队一直以来用的都是二战时期用的手榴弹。国大党可耻

Joe Kool

You must be really dumb or stupid or both not to vote for Modiji and BJP ( excluding the obvious sullahs).

What Modiji and BJP have done in 6 year's, Congress didn't do in 60 year's.

不投票给莫迪和人民党的，一定是蠢人。

莫迪和人民党在6年里干了多少实事，国大党执政60年，什么都没做。

Rakesh Pani

why congress kept our armed force weak ? because congress and pakistan have a same enemy i.e Hindus of Bharath. Both of them don't want hindus to progress and prosper at any cost.

为什么国大党不提升我们的武装力量?因为国大党和巴基斯坦有一个共同的敌人，那就是印度教徒。他们都不希望印度人进步繁荣，甚至不惜任何代价加以阻止。

Pradip Kumar Shome

Very fast movement of Govt. of India.

印度政府的行动非常迅速。

Pramod Kumar Patra

It is a very welcome venture for acquisition of indigenously manufactured grenades which will boost the moral of our army.Let us hope for the best.

购买国产手榴弹，这将提高印度军队的士气。希望一切顺利。

Ramesh Sargam

In recent times acquisition and buying of arms worth in crores surprises me why all of a sudden? Is it that during Congress' 60 years of rule our defence forces were denied advanced arms and ammunitions?

最近签署了几笔数十亿卢比的军购合同，惊到我了，为什么这么突然?在国大党60年的执政期间，我们的武装部队都没有获得先进的武器和弹药吗?

LR Nathan

Indian ordanance factory is capable producing grenades. They procure explosives from Germany. Only because of getting commission

印度兵工厂有能力生产手榴弹。他们从德国采购炸药是因为拿回扣。

FinancialRisk Government

This was long due! Indian soldiers at borders must be fully preparaed with modern weaponry and accessories. India should start building winterized camps in India with small tin fireplace installed in it.

早就该这样做了!边境上的印度士兵必须充分装配现代武器装备。印度应该开始建造过冬营地，在里面安装小型壁炉。

Ashok Roy

Don’t start blaming the previous government and claim policy paralysis! What was the present government doing since 2014?

不要指责前任政府!2014年以来，现任政府做了什么?

Priyanka Dey

I am shocked how such news is released to the media....and why there is no restriction on media to publish such news.

媒体怎么能发布这种消息，我感到震惊。为什么对媒体发表这类新闻没有限制?

Gopal B

OFB has not managed our state owned Ordnance Factories have let down our Defence forces, by not doing enough to upgare technology and ammunition quality.

兵工厂委员会没有管理好国有军械工厂，在提高技术和弹药质量方面做得不够好，让我们的国防部队失望了。

Hiren Modi

wonder how much went to Party Fund !

不知道有多少钱进了政党基金里!

Abhijit Shanbhag

Atleast appreciate, the initiative, finally we are fighting with our indigineous weapons rather than imports. Good Job. I am proud.

我们终于要开始用国产武器而不是进口武器来战斗了，做得好。我感到很自豪。

Devendra Panchakoti

The state owned Ordinance Factory Board [OFB] has 41 factories...WHAT ARMS AND AMUNITIONS DO THEY PRODUCE??? hope these grenades will be safe enough to kill pla and pakistani terrorists and soldiers and not be harmful to our jawans...

兵工厂委员会(OFB)下面有41家工厂，他们造了什么武器弹药?希望这些手榴弹足够安全，足以杀死解放军、巴基斯坦恐怖分子和巴基斯坦士兵，不要误伤印度士兵…

Better late than never.

亡羊补牢为时不晚

More investment is required in R&D, soon we will be self reliant and will export. India has enough talent, only this talent was going abroad....

在研发方面加大投资，很快我们就能实现自给自足，并出口国外了。印度有足够的人才，只是这些人才去了国外…
