Adani Defence, Indo-Russian Rifles sign 5-year ammunition supply pact for AK-203 assault rifle
New Delhi, Sep 5 (IANS) Adani Defence & Aerospace has signed a five-year agreement with Indo-Russian Rifles Private Limited (IRRPL), the India-Russia joint venture manufacturing AK-203 assault rifles in India, to supply indigenous 7.62x39 mm small-calibre ammunition for the programme, it was announced on Saturday. Under the agreement, Adani Defence will supply 7.62x39 mm ammunition for the AK-203 for five years. The arrangement provides an Indian source for the ammunition required for the programme and supports continuity of supply during the contract period. The agreement brings together AK-203 rifle production by IRRPL and ammunition production by Adani Defence, creating an integrated supply chain in India. It further strengthens domestic capabilities across the small-arms supply chain and supports the Aatmanirbhar Bharat objective in defence manufacturing. IRRPL was incorporated in 2019 under an India-Russia intergovernmental agreement to manufacture AK-203 assault rifles for the Indian Armed Forces. Its manufacturing facility is located at Korwa in Amethi, Uttar Pradesh. The joint venture has Indian shareholders Advanced Weapons and Equipment India Limited and Munitions India Limited, along with Russian shareholders Concern Kalashnikov and Rosoboronexport. The Ministry of Defence has identified IRRPL as the joint venture established for indigenous production of the AK-203. A contract for 6,01,427 AK-203 rifles was signed with IRRPL in December 2021, with the rifles to be produced at Korwa. Adani Defence & Aerospace has established manufacturing capabilities for small-calibre ammunition in India, including a facility in Kanpur with production capacity for small-calibre ammunition. In July, Adani Defence and the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) signed a landmark agreement for AEW&C-MKII, India's next-generation Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) programme. The programme makes Adani Defence the first private Indian company to be entrusted with the development, integration and lifecycle support of an airborne mission platform of this scale and complexity. Adani Defence and DRDO will jointly develop, manufacture and integrate the airborne mission systems on six modified Airbus A321 aircraft for the IAF. The programme also includes integrated logistics, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), and technical support for up to 30 years.

UP T20 League: How UPCA Speed Hunt Changed The Life Of Barabanki's Shakti Verma
How UPCA Speed Hunt: From working a private job for 7,000 a month to sharing a dressing room with established Indian Premier League (IPL) stars like Sameer Rizvi, Mohsin Khan, and Karn Sharma, Shakti Vermas rise is one of the most compelling stories of Season 4 of the UP T20 League. Hailing from Barabanki district of Uttar Pradesh, the fast bowler was discovered through the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Associations (UPCA) Speed Hunt, a grassroots talent scouting initiative. He consistently clocked speeds of 138 km/h to top the charts at the Lucknow selection trials, earning a direct ticket to the UPT20 player auction where the Kanpur Superstars secured him for 2,50,000. While the ongoing season has been a challenging one for the Kanpur Superstars, Shakti has already featured in three games, proving that raw talent can thrive when given the right platform. Shaktis journey is rooted in humble beginnings. He is the eldest son of Amar Singh Verma, a local motor mechanic. Despite severe financial constraints, his father supported his cricketing ambitions, often managing to buy expensive season cricket balls for his practice. However, the overall cost of professional cricket nearly forced Shakti out of the game. My father does a normal job as a mechanic, and I am the eldest at home, Shakti shared. Cricket is a very expensive game. I used to do a private job earning 7,000 a month. With that salary, I couldn't buy cricket shoes worth 7,000. My coach, Sarvan Nawab sir, provided all the backing I needed. Whatever cricket I have played, and whatever I achieve in the future, is all because of him. Shakti's entry into formal cricket took time. He started purely on the local tennis ball circuits. When I played tennis ball cricket, boys would tell me I bowled well. A friend took me to my coach. Initially, I wanted to bat, but my coach told me to stick to bowling, and he polished my skills. My seniors like Vipraj Nigam and Shivam bhai also guided me and helped me financially during tough times. The UPCAs decision to keep the Speed Hunt trials entirely free of cost was the crucial turning point for players like Shakti, removing the financial barrier that often keeps rural talent hidden. That free trial was a very big thing for us, Shakti explained. If someone comes from a well-off family, an entry fee of 1,500 is very little for them. But for a normal boy, even 10 is a lot. Because the trials were free, boys like us got a massive boost. If the Speed Hunt happens every year, more boys and better talents will emerge from the bottom. Being picked at the auction for 2.5 Lakh has fundamentally changed his financial reality. The money we get from this platform can be utilised to invest in ourselves, he noted with raw honesty. The amount we received is more than enough for us. For people from normal families, this prize money is huge. Frankly, I had never seen this much money in my life before. That free trial was a very big thing for us, Shakti explained. If someone comes from a well-off family, an entry fee of 1,500 is very little for them. But for a normal boy, even 10 is a lot. Because the trials were free, boys like us got a massive boost. If the Speed Hunt happens every year, more boys and better talents will emerge from the bottom. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories The Speed Hunt gave a chance to new boys who couldn't reach this level otherwise, Shakti said. Players from the grassroots who didn't get opportunities in trophy cricket got a huge platform here. I am very thankful to the UPCA, Rajeev Shukla sir, and Dr. Sanjay Kapoor sir for this initiative. If we do well here, we can even play in the IPL and get international recognition. We can go very far. Article Source: IANS
