Russian submachine guns will be assembled at the Russian-Indian enterprise Indo-Russian Rifles Private Limited in the city of Korva.

Earlier it was reported about plans to produce 700,000 AK-203 submachine guns as part of the Make in India program.
An enterprise for the production of Russian Kalashnikov assault rifles was opened in India in 2019. The contract for the production of submachine guns is another step towards strengthening the already very long-standing and close military-technical cooperation between the Russian Federation and India.
