Punj Lloyd Raksha Systems have manufactured Tavor X 95 rifles, under licence from Israel Weapons Industries (IWI). The Israel Weapons Industries (IWI) is already in service with the Indian Army’s Special Forces, Indian Navy’s MARCOS and IAF’s Garud Commandos and also with the Border Security Force.
According to reports, the India-made Tavor X 95 rifle is getting attention from many African militaries that are keen to conduct local trials of the guns for evaluation purposes. The Tavor X 95 rifles assembled in India are based on 100 per cent transfer of technology from IWI. The Tavor X95 (also referred to as the MTAR-21) is the variant of the Tavor that was selected as the future standard infantry weapon of the IDF in 2009.
