The factory manufactures the AK-203 variant of the Kalashnikov family of rifles. The factory is a joint-venture of the Ordnance Factory Board of India and Kalashnikov Concern of Russia, with Rosoboronexport holding a minority stake and will produce 750,000 AK-203s, a 7.62×39mm variant from the AK-100 family.[1] OwnershipThe factory is a joint venture between three companies. The Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) owns the controlling stakes of 50.5% while Kalashnikov owns 42% stake followed by 7.5% stake owned by Rosonboronexport. An Indian CEO from the OFB leads the company.[2] BackgroundSince the late 1950s, the Indian armed forces had been equipped with a locally produced licensed copy[3] of the L1A1 self-loading rifles.[4] In mid-1980s, the decision was taken to develop a 5.56x45mm calibre rifle to replace the obsolete rifles. Trials on various prototypes based on the AKM were carried out by the Armament Research and Development Establishment (ARDE) in Pune. On the completion of the trial, The Indian Small Arms System (INSAS) was adopted in 1990. However, to phase out the still in use bolt-action Lee–Enfield rifles as quickly as possible, India had to acquire 100,000 7.62×39mm AKM-type rifles from Russia, Hungary, Romania and Israel in 1990–92.[5] In April 2015, the Indian government replaced some INSAS rifles of the CRPF with AKM variants.[6] In early 2017, it was announced that INSAS rifles were to be retired and replaced by rifles capable of firing 7.62×51mm NATO cartridges.[7] The factory is located in Amethi, Uttar Pradesh.[8] The factory manufactures the AK-203 variant of the Kalashnikov family of rifles.[9] The AK-203 along with the SIG716, manufactured with by United States-based SIG Sauer will replace the INSAS rifles as well as the AK-47s.[10] The Government of India is also in negotiations with Abu Dhabi-based Caracal International to acquire the CAR 816 close-quarter carbine.[2] ProductThe company has been licensed to produce 750,000 AK-203 rifles. AK-203 is a 7.62×39mm variant from the AK-100 family.[1] AK-203 is reported as the latest and most advanced version of the most abundant firearm in the world, the AK-47 rifle.[11] References1. ^1 {{cite news |title=750,000 new AKs for India: Modi unveils Kalashnikov plant producing latest Russian rifles |url=https://www.rt.com/news/452925-india-russia-plant-kalashnikov-rifles/ |accessdate=4 March 2019 |work=RT |date=3 March 2019}} 2. ^1 {{cite news |last1=Philip |first1=Snehesh Alex |title=PM Modi inaugurates Indo-Russian joint venture, which will end Army’s long quest for rifles |url=https://theprint.in/defence/pm-modi-inaugurates-indo-russian-joint-venture-which-will-end-armys-long-quest-for-rifles/200792/ |accessdate=4 March 2019 |work=The Print |date=3 March 2019}} 3. ^"UK and Commonwealth FALs, by R.
