Key Points
Rs 168 crore deal for 54 heavy recovery vehicles
Designed for high-altitude and desert operations
Supports Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative
Enhances mission success rates and readiness
The newly procured HRVs will play a crucial role in the recovery of disabled, stranded and damaged military vehicles across challenging terrains, including high-altitude and desert environments. These vehicles are designed with advanced lifting and winching mechanisms and high endurance to meet the demanding operational requirements of the Indian Army.
Indigenously designed and developed, this specialised vehicle will contribute towards 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' initiative of Government of India by prioritizing indigenous designs and manufacturing, thereby reducing dependency on foreign defence imports.
The integration of these advanced HRVs is expected to significantly improve recovery operations, ensuring higher mission success rates and operational readiness, the release added.

Ashok Leyland proving again why they're leaders in defence vehicles. The specs sound impressive for recovery ops!

While I support local manufacturing, I hope the quality matches international standards. Our soldiers deserve the best equipment.

This is exactly what Atmanirbhar Bharat should look like - practical solutions that reduce foreign dependency. More please!
Vikram J.
Good start but 54 vehicles seems low for our massive army. Hope they order more soon.
