Overview
- Anand Mahindra revealed the defence-focused ATV on X on Monday, showing a stripped prototype built for security forces.
- The open-frame vehicle features a gun mount, full underbody protection, a front winch, jerrycan holders, tandem spare carriers and airdrop-ready mounting points.
- It appears to use the Thar Roxx’s chassis and off-road geometry but replaces doors and the roof with a reinforced roll cage for visibility and quick entry.
- Mahindra says it will pitch the prototype to the Indian Army for trials, and the company has not shared production or deployment timelines.
- Official specifications remain undisclosed, with some outlets reporting a 2.2-litre diesel, 6-speed automatic and 4x4 layout that Mahindra has not confirmed.
