Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL), on 12 April, handed over the first lot of wheeled armoured combat-ready vehicles to the Indian Army. The vehicles, also called infantry protected mobility vehicles (IPMVs), were handed over to Army Chief Gen MM Naravane at a ceremony in Pune.

In addition to supply, TASL will also provide 24×7 support to maintain the vehicles at the deployment locations. IPMV is a co-development project with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).

The vehicles have undergone stringent field trials in deserts as well as high altitude areas by the Indian Army. The IPMVs also include TASL’s in-house designed and developed remote controlled weapon station with thermal sights and external add-on armour protection panels developed by the DRDO.
