Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The 'Ugram' is an indigenous 7.62x51mm caliber assault rifle developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) in collaboration with the private firm Dvipa Armour India Private Limited. Formally introduced on January 8, 2024, by the Armament Research and Development Establishment (ARDE), the rifle was designed to meet the General Staff Qualitative Requirements (GSQRs) of the Indian Army. It features a lightweight design weighing less than four kilograms, a 20-round magazine, and an effective range of 500 meters. The development of Ugram aims to reduce India's dependency on imported small arms like the SIG Sauer and the AK-203, which has faced production delays. Other options like Heckler (German), T91 (Taiwanese), and Tikka (Finnish) are foreign-developed firearms and not indigenous to India.
