Once abandoned
India abandoned the contract after its Defence Research and Development Organisation promised to deliver an indigenous anti-tank missile to meet the Army requirement of over 8,000 anti-tank missiles.
The DRDO has promised to deliver the India-made missile for trials by the end of 2018. Once the trials are successful, the Indian anti-tank missile would go in for mass production by 2021.
