That's very interesting, especially considering the kind of terrain large parts of the country has. Do you know if it was a budgetary issue or did someone high up just think that hand grenades are not that useful?
As for improvised grenades: the problem with improvised thrown explosives is that you need a reliable time detonator/fuze -- and in other armies it was quite often a hand grenade... Engineers might have separate time fuzes available, but not ordinary infantry units.
