The longstanding demand of Indian Army to have artillery guns will now be fulfilled. A $750-million (about Rs 5,000 crore) deal to provide 100 self-propelled artillery guns to the Indian Army has been signed with the domestic manufacturer Larsen and Toubro. Under the deal, the 155 mm artillery guns suitable for operation in the desert areas bordering Pakistan, will be specially designed.

Tracked Self-Propelled Howitzer meets the requirements of 21st century warfare, which is based on the following missions: Deep fire support with its longer firing range; qualitative superiority to overcome a numerical inferiority with its higher rate of fire and accuracy and effective and reliable fire support in all kinds of circumstances with its higher mobility and protection.
The K9 VAJRA-T is a variant of K9 Thunder which is inarguably the world's best 155mm/52 Cal.SPH in terms of number of systems in active service. Currently, K9 Thunder is serving as one of the main conventional deterrent forces for a number of armies including the Korean Army.
