A 10-year-old plan to acquire 2,600 future infantry combat vehicles for the Indian Army is staring at an uncertain future as it is stuck due "divergent views" among the stakeholders on its implementation, official sources reported to The Economic Times of India. They said another ambitious programme to indigenously manufacture a fleet of modern battle tanks, christened as future ready combat vehicle, is also not moving forward due to procedural delays.
