Doubtful, the article actually doesn't make much sense. The Army already gets a land version of the Barak 8 and that would be available to IAF too. Below that Akash and Maitri SAM are planned, which doesn't leave any room for another MR missile. The author might mix up some things here.
No, I just saw it in the specboards in the link you posted in the Aero India thread. Was waiting for more infos or even pics about that too, but sadly nothing more seems to have been shown on that.
From what I heared now, it's because the freight fares were hiked, which is the 2nd time since the new government is in power. Higher transport costs obviously is not good for the industry and the economy. What's also interesting is, that the passenger and freight numbers are falling since the...
Such a light howitzer on a proper platform surely would be good, the way I understand it, it's a bit complicated to handle though. But I would of course prefer if they would divert knowledge / offset to India, that makes us possible to build such a system, rather than just how to assemble parts...

It has nothing to do with my expectations, but with the government hiking the fares for a reason and opening the railway up for privat investment with a purpose in mind and I want to know of these aims were met at least to an extend or if nothing has changed. One point for example was, that they...
Which again is already been dealt by the fact that we now have a fleet of multi role fighters and not a split fleet of dedicated A2A and dedicated A2G fighters. We basically have twice the number of fighters available for strikes now, than in the past with Mig 27s and Jags only. And as said...
