Indian Army military vehicles undergo specialized modifications

Military vehicles used by the Indian Army undergo specific modifications to ensure reliability in extreme environments, such as snow-covered mountains, deserts, and coastal regions. While the fleet includes models based on civilian vehicles like the Mahindra Scorpio, Tata Safari, Toyota Hilux, and Maruti Gypsy, these units are customized for operational requirements.

Key differences include the integration of 4x4 drive systems to provide necessary traction and stability on mud, sand, and snow. Additionally, these vehicles are painted in a specific military green to aid in camouflage by blending into the surroundings and to clearly identify them as military assets. The interior configurations are also modified to provide specialized storage for weaponry and essential tactical equipment rather than personal items.
