Edge Group's Caracal subsidiary is planning to achieve full production capabilities for its small arms in India, following the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Hyderabad-based ICOMM.

Speaking to Janes , Caracal's CEO, Hamad Alameri, explained that the company has developed partnerships with suppliers in India that will enable ICOMM to commence production at its facilities. The weapons will be manufactured under the Caracal India business.

Some components will be initially supplied from Caracal in the UAE, but a phased approach will ensure that all elements are manufactured and delivered by Indian companies within four years, Alameri said.

Among the opportunities that the company will be targeting are the Indian Army's outstanding requirement for a close quarter battle (CQB) carbine. In 2018 Caracal won a competition to deliver more than 90,000 rifles with its CAR 816 offering. However, the deal was cancelled in September 2020 in favour of sourcing an Indian alternative.
