Baba Kalyani, Chairman of Kalyani Group said, "We want to provide state-of-the-art solutions in the small arms segment so that our security forces are equipped with the best in the world."

"The Kalyani Group which has been an active supplier of indigenous solutions to the Indian security forces has decided to partner with Beretta for the same.

This will be the perfect example of 'Make in India' solutions." he said.

President of Fabbrica D'armi Pietro Beretta Franco Gussalli Beretta said "we are committed to the Indian market through transfer of technology to enable India to be self-sufficient for their small arms requirements in line with prime minister's vision of Make in India and have already executed similar projects in a number of countries".
