Indian Army issues RFI for procurement of All-Terrain Vehicles

New Delhi: Indian Army has initiated a Request for Information (RFI) for the procurement of All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) aimed at enhancing operational capabilities, particularly along the northern borders. This move is part of an ongoing effort to bolster mobility and effectiveness in challenging terrains.

All Terrain Vehicle will provide cross country mobility to Infantry detachments for surveillance, mobile platforms for employment of weapons and mobile platform for logistic resupply in operations. The vehicle should ensure rapid move through terrains where unprepared or No roads exists.

Indian Army intends to procure ATVs under emergency procurement procedures, categorized as “Buy (Indian)” to encourage indigenous manufacturing.

The ATVs will be utilized for cross-country mobility, enabling infantry detachments to conduct surveillance and serve as mobile platforms for weapon deployment. They are expected to enhance operational readiness in difficult terrains such as mountains and forests.
