The CAG report notes 6 of 20 rounds failed (70% success rate) till Nov 2014 at IAF service.
Thereafter, we had several test fires conducted by the IAF with subsequent production batches.

These were post induction (2015) user trials. Subsequently, two things happened - IAF asked for 7 more Akash squadrons and production at BDL was enhanced.
