Indian Army Trains Nepal Army on 105mm Light Field Gun Maintenance to Boost Defense Ties

VADODARA, March 30, 2026 — In a significant move to strengthen bilateral military relations, the Indian Army recently concluded a specialized four-week training programme for personnel of the Nepal Army at the EME School in Vadodara.

The tailor-made course focused exclusively on the 105mm Light Field Gun (LFG), a cornerstone of regional artillery operations. By centering the curriculum on advanced repair techniques and technical proficiency, the initiative aimed to ensure the Nepal Army can maintain and sustain these critical assets independently.

The intensive sessions covered everything from routine maintenance to complex troubleshooting, ensuring high levels of operational readiness for the hardware in various challenging terrains.

Beyond the technical drills, the training served as a vital platform for knowledge exchange and capacity building between the two forces.

Participants engaged in hands-on workshops designed to streamline the management of artillery systems within diverse and demanding operational environments.

This collaborative effort underscores the Indian Army’s ongoing commitment to deepening #DefenceCooperation with Nepal, fostering a shared expertise that enhances regional security.

By empowering the Nepal Army with specialized maintenance skills, the program reinforces the long-standing partnership and mutual trust that define the defense relationship between the two neighboring nations.
