During IDEX 2025 in Abu Dhabi, Tata Advanced Systems Ltd (TASL) unveiled its indigenously developed Light Armoured Multi-role Vehicle, marking a major milestone in India's defence manufacturing. Engineered to meet strict NATO standards, the TASL 4x4 LAMV is designed to significantly impact the global armoured vehicle market.
Sukaran Singh, CEO and Managing Director of TASL, emphasized that the global launch of the 4x4 LAMV represents a crucial step in demonstrating the strength of Indian defence manufacturing. This new platform, born from cutting-edge engineering and robust design, perfectly meets both operational and export requirements. With its modular design, the LAMV can be customized to address the specific defence needs of different countries, making it a versatile asset for a wide range of military operations.
Built to operate in demanding environments ranging from arid deserts to high-altitude terrains, the LAMV combines mobility with durability. The vehicle is capable of reaching a maximum speed of 100 km/h, ensuring rapid deployment over diverse terrains. Moreover, it features state-of-the-art ballistic protection compliant with Stanag 3 standards, capable of withstanding impacts from firearms such as machine guns and sniper rifles, including 7.62 mm steel-core ammunition. An integrated condition and usage monitoring system enables predictive maintenance, ensuring continuous operational availability throughout its lifecycle.
TASL’s entry into the land mobility sector comes as the global armoured vehicle market is projected to grow from $22.28 billion in 2023 to $37.85 billion by 2035, with an average annual growth rate of 6%. Leveraging its experience in the aerospace sector through a partnership with Airbus for manufacturing the C-295 medium transporter and supplying essential components to international aircraft manufacturers, TASL now aims to strengthen its presence in the global market for land mobility systems. The targeted export markets for the LAMV include the United Kingdom, West Asia, North Africa, and Latin America.
The introduction of this versatile vehicle not only demonstrates India’s commitment to self-reliant defence production but also its ability to meet the complex demands of modern military operations. With the LAMV, TASL is poised to redefine mobility and protection on the battlefield, offering armed forces a reliable, adaptable, and future-ready solution to operational challenges.
