Indigenously built combat vehicles inducted into the Indian Army in Ladakh

Boosting the capabilities of the troops deployed in Ladakh, Made In India Infantry Combat Vehicles have been inducted into the forward areas of the mountainous region.

While personally driving the new vehicle, Northern Army Commander Lt General Upendra Dwivedi said that with these combat vehicles one can easily be driven on harsh terrain of the region.

"One can easily drive the vehicle and the driver can see 1,800 metres away from it. The weapon mounted on it can be controlled from inside," The Northern Army Commander said.

The vehicles named Infantry Protected Mobility Vehicles (IPMVs) were delivered to the Indian Army in April this year and have been tried and tested in the Ladakh region.

These Infantry Protected Mobility Vehicles (IPMVs) have been jointly developed by the Defense Research and Development Organisation and the Tata group.
