ARDE director Anil M Datar said the company was in process of demonstrating 99.7% reliability for the MSMC, which can fire up to 200m.
The development of MSMC is a part of the Indian small arms system (INSAS) programme created by ARDE to build an indigenous small arms weapons system for India.
The prototype underwent initial trials in January 2009 and is gearing for the final trials before being launched.
