Kalyani Strategic Systems Limited (KSSL), the wholly-owned defence subsidiary of Bharat Forge, has launched its new MArG series of 155mm 4×4 Mounted Artillery Guns at the Eurosatory 2026 defence exhibition in Paris. The new artillery line is engineered to deliver highly mobile, rapidly deployable, and cost-optimized firepower for modern land forces. Key Product Features & Configurations: Three Calibre Variants: Built on a common 4×4 truck platform to streamline logistics and training, the series includes: MArG 39 (39 calibre): Optimized for extreme mobility and tactical flexibility. MArG 45 (45 calibre): Balances operational range and firepower. MArG 52 (52 calibre): Delivers extended-range, high-performance capabilities. Combat Capabilities: Features NATO-standard 155mm firepower, compatibility with precision-guided munitions (PGMs), and a modern fire-control system. Tactical Edge: Designed for air transportability and rapid "shoot-and-scoot" operations, allowing forces to reposition quickly to evade counter-battery fire across diverse terrains like mountains and deserts. Strategic Significance: Global Export Push: Showcasing at Eurosatory highlights KSSL’s aggressive push into the international defence market, targeting global militaries seeking agile, truck-mounted artillery solutions. Technological Leadership: The launch leverages Bharat Forge’s six decades of metallurgical and precision engineering expertise, positioning KSSL as a formidable competitor in the global deployable artillery segment. Cost & Operational Efficiency: The common platform design across three variants significantly reduces lifecycle costs, maintenance, and crew training requirements for armed forces. Outlook: The MArG series positions KSSL to capture a significant share of the global market for light, highly mobile artillery. The 4x4 configuration is particularly attractive for rapid reaction forces and operations in restrictive terrains. $BHARATFORG
