Renowned British firearms manufacturer Webley & Scott (W&S) is set to begin manufacturing in Uttar Pradesh (UP)'s Sandila which is located barely 30 km away from Lucknow, reports Times of India.
The development also gains significance as it would mark the first such instance wherein a foreign company will be taking up manufacturing of firearms in India. For this, W&S has tied hands with Lucknow-based Sial Manufacturers Private Limited. The joint venture will begin manufacturing activity from November 2020.
The joint venture received the licence to manufacture firearms in India in 2019, following which a team of experts from England visited India to set up the facility in Sandila.
Sial Manufacturers' Joginder Pal Singh Sial said that the government's support and Make in India policy helped for the project to take the final shape.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
