NEW DELHI: Several central agencies and police forces, including Delhi Police, are likely to be equipped with the DRDO-designed Joint Venture Protective Carbine (JVPC) in the coming months, according to a source.
While reports suggested that the city police could procure 5,000 carbines, the department didn't comment on the development. The carbines have been developed in collaboration with Small Arms Factory (SAF), Kanpur and ARDE, Pune.
One JVPC has a range of 200 metres and a firing capacity of 800 rounds per minute. The CISF and UP police are also likely to get this weapon, the source said.
