From nuclear submarines to UCAV, from 5th generation fighter to F-INSAS everything is going on smoothly may be with some delays but don't know what the hell is wrong with Indian army getting artillery guns. 
Indian army to get 2 new gun systems
New Delhi, Mar 14 (PTI) Defence Minister A K Antony today told Parliament that two new gun systems are expected to be inducted into the Indian Army.
Replying to a question in the Lok Sabha, he said "two new gun systems are expected to be inducted during the 11th Plan."
On the steps being taken by the government to supply state-of-art guns to the army, Antony said "modernization is an ongoing process. While a number of weapons and equipment have already been inducted, procurement process for other weapons, including guns, is under way."
Replying to another query on installation of coastal scan system for the Coast Guard to monitor the sea lanes of the country, the Minister said "a project for installation of a chain of static sensors for coastal surveillance is under implementation." "In the first phase, surveillance is being enhanced at 46 locations around high traffic density and security sensitive areas. Another 40 stations will be established in Phase II."
The first phase of the project is expected to be implemented by 2012.
Meanwhile, replying to a question on Pakistan''s nuclear capability and reports that it has added 40 to 100 additional weapons in last five years, he said "the government has seen reports relating to nuclear weapons programme of Pakistan. India''s nuclear doctrine and security preparedness is geared to meet all its current and future security needs and challenges".
"The government remains committed to taking all necessary measures to meet any security threat," he added. PTI A

I think just recently DRDO came up with a project to develop 155 mm artillery in India. I guess when these guns will be ready there will be rain of artillery guns to the army from foreign companies and their Indian lobbies.
