The rifles – CSR 338 models – will be manufactured at the newly launched ICOMM CARACAL Small Arms Complex in Hyderabad. This facility, built in partnership with UAE-based defence firm CARACAL (part of EDGE Group), is a state-of-the-art hub for producing world-class weapons locally.

“This is not just about supplying rifles,” said Sumanth Paturu, director of ICOMM. “It’s about building India’s defence strength, creating skilled jobs, and bringing cutting-edge technology to Hyderabad.”

The CSR 338 is a high-performance sniper rifle designed for precision and reliability. The first batch is expected to be delivered by the end of this year.

MEIL, known for its large-scale infrastructure projects across India and abroad, is now making strong strides in defence manufacturing. With this deal, it reinforces its commitment to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Make in India’ vision and showcases Hyderabad as a rising centre for defence innovation.
