Tata has rolled out its range of armored vehicles for high net worth individuals (HNIs), such as businessmen and political leaders. The armored vehicles will be used for specialized defense applications.

This is the latest offering from the Tatas, which has been supplying about 7,000 vehicles to the armed forces annually. A report said that Tata Motors
has lined up land mine-proof as well as bullet-proof vehicles on the Safari platform for HNIs.

The company has come out with its armored Safari with features like hand-grenade protection for under belly through fine tuned suspension and heating ventilation air conditioning. Besides, it can also run on flat tires and will have explosive suppressant material in the fuel tank. The vehicle comes with five exit doors. According to a Tata official, the armored Safari would sport National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Level III features.

Meanwhile, the company has also said that its new indigenously made armored bus would come with features like shatter-proof glass and side bomb protection with firing ports.

The new vehicle which was put on show at an expo that coincides with the Military Games currently underway in Hyderabad, is expected to attract the
crowds.

It had been earlier reported that the Indian Army was all set to see a Humvee blaze its trail into its territory through the Mahindra Axe. The armored vehicle from Mahindra & Mahindra, was reportedly being being built as per Indian Army specifications.

Reports had said that the vehicle is an IPR of the Mahindras and even the engine was being indigenously developed. Two prototypes have already been developed for Army testing. The Mahindra Axe is expected to come both as open and hard-top versions, capable of mounting artillery.
