US-India SIG716 Deal: India has signed a big deal with ammunition and pistol manufacturer American company SIG SAUER.

American ammunition and pistol manufacturing company SIG SAUER has signed a big-ticket deal with India. SIG SAUER announced a second purchase contract with the Ministry of Defense to supply an additional 73,000 SIG716 rifles. The company statement says that after completing the deal, 145,400 such rifles would be in service with the Indian Army.
Thus seems quite content with the deal with India Sig Sauer's President and CEO Ron Cohen: 'We are proud to be a partner in the Indian Army's modernization effort, and even more proud that the Sig 716 rifle achieves the Ministry of Defense's modernization goals with the world's second-largest army.'
In 2019, the Ministry of Defence placed an order for 72,400 rifles of Sig 716 with Sig Sauer. "Due to successful 'fielding and overwhelming' acceptance by the soldiers, we received this follow-up award for additional rifles," the company said in a statement.
