I just hope they get success and launch their products soon. After what CMT has done the hopes are not too high. But its definitely a good thing to see a young entrepreneur come up with completely made in India pistol. Also .32 ACP makes more sense for the time being given its availability and cost.

I think the trick lies in who launches a quality product in time and at a reasonable price . Many players in the market but no one has delivered besides Webley and Shaikh and both have a like warm response because of good reasons . Webley chose to stick with an obsolete but legacy product as it’s first launch and Shaikh fails to inspire confidence in its fit finish and reliability. While I have no doubt that Glock will launch and sell but they are being a tad too careful and conservative in their approach . This has almost dissuaded people and Glock has lost a lot of love . I wish they launch soon and wish A home grown pistol like Atal does well…

Crossfire pistol by New Light co. is also in market but quality is not good.

Indian Webley is good and readily available (without any booking) but the drawbacks are that price is little bit on higher side and grips are too small.

Hubballi startup wants to open weapon manufacturing unit, ready to unveil modular pistol.

DHNS, Hubballi, Sep 27 2022, 22:40 istupdated: Sep 27 2022, 22:40 ist

Astr Defence already has three patents for the ‘Indra’ modular small arms platform

He started working on preparing a model of a rifle as part of his Bachelor of Engineering final-year project, and now Hubballi’s Ankush Koravi is working on a prototype of a modular assault rifle, and a indigenously designed and developed modular pistol.

Koravi is taking his entrepreneurship journey quite seriously, as his idea of scaling up his start-up Astr Defence Pvt Ltd, is to set up a weapons manufacturing factory near Hubballi, with in-house R&D, production and testing facilities.

Astr Defence, which was founded by Koravi, already has three patents for the ‘Indra’ modular small arms platform, while applications are also submitted for three patents for ‘Atal’ modular pistol.

‘Indra’ was displayed at India Pavilion of DefExpo-2020 held in Lucknow, and Koravi is preparing to unveil ‘Atal’ at DefExpo-2022 to be held at Gandhi Nagar in Gujarat next month.

DH was the first to report about Astr Defence’s innovations nearly two years ago.

Initially incubated by the Centre for Technology innovation & Entrepreneurship of the KLE Technological University, Astr Defence is now setting up a factory at Kadanakoppa in Kalghatagi taluk. It is expected to be formally inaugurated within two months.

The 25-year-old mechanical engineer’s dream was to develop indigenous, easy-to-use weapons that meet the requirements of the military and the police forces. Koravi now has come up with lightweight adjustable weapons, after a lot of research and development, interaction with army officials, and the guidance of ex-servicemen.

“Rifle and pistol are designed, developed and manufactured totally indigenously. We are the first to do so in the private sector in terms of rifle, and in both the private and government sectors with regard to modular pistol,” said Koravi.

According to the entrepreneur, ‘Indra’ can be used as both assault rifle and carbine, while ‘Atal’ pistol can be used as service weapon or for self-defence by trained civilians or for sports.

They are tailor-made for Indian conditions. ‘Indra’ has already been tested by the Directorate General of Quality Assurance (DGQA), and ‘Atal’ is in the testing stage, Koravi explained.

“Innovative safety mechanisms are adapted in these weapons. Unlike imported and old weapons, they are most suitable for the requirements of the Indian army and police. Their cost would also be 30-40 per cent lesser,” noted Ankush, CEO and founder of Astr Defence.

According to Koravi, the weapons’ manufacturing facility had the approval from the Union Ministry of Home Affairs and has a Rs 6 crore investment in it so far. “It is without any external support, as the investment is made by my father (a businessman) and with the help of bank loans. We are employing 20 persons, mainly freshers, and they would be trained,” he said.

In the video the company representative told thay 1.49 lac is th company out price after which dealer margin and than 28% gst will be added so the weapon will be around 2.2 to 2.5 lac. Still expensive but a better option overall.
