Indian company Mahindra Defence Systems Ltd (MDSL) will deliver the first batch of 4×4 Light Specialist Vehicles (LSVs) known as Armado to the Indian Army by the end of July, MDSL head of sales and marketing for land systems Colonel Manish Kumar (retd) told Janes.
The first batch will comprise 40 Armados, Col Kumar said. MDSL is supplying a total of 1,300 LSVs to the Indian Army under a contract, signed in March 2021, worth INR10.56 billion (USD129 million).
The LSV order was fast-tracked amid the stand-off between the Indian Army and China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), Janes reported at that time. The Indian Army is scheduled to induct all the vehicles by 2025.
