IN a major step towards upgrading its law enforcement capabilities, Kerala Police is set to revamp its arsenal with the induction of advanced firearms and equipment. As part of its 2025-26 modernisation plan, the police department plans to procure 530 new weapons and over three lakh rounds of ammunition.

Among the prospective acquisitions are 100 INSAS rifles, 100 AK-203 rifles, 100 Heckler & Koch submachine guns, 30 high-precision sniper rifles, and 200 pistols. The sniper rifles under consideration include the Indian-made Saber 338 and the German-made Heckler & Koch PSG1—both known for their long-range accuracy and used widely by elite forces.
