The Indians usually specify offset production in their contracts (a portion of parts and assembly to be accomplished in India). Waiting on the Russians to set up or expand Indian AK production came to a complete stop after the start of the Ukraine invasion.
Mumbai pretty much canceled the Russian deal, lifted embargo, and executed the second SIG buy. They're probably still shooting crap indigenous 7.62.
