At DefExpo 2010 the Indian Company Defence Land Systems India, a joint venture between Mahindra and the global defence manufacturer BAE Systems, unveiled its new Mine Protected Vehicle India (MPVI). The MPVI Mahindra has been developed for the counter insurgency and anti-Naxal operations of Indian armed and paramilitary forces, Mahindra Defence Systems (MDS) chief executive Brig Khutub Hai said. MPVI can accommodate 18 personnel and is capable of transporting a complete operational team of army or police forces involved in anti-terrorist and anti-Naxal operations. The MPVI has been developed specifically to meet the needs of the Indian armed and paramilitary forces, and is based on world leading technology developed by BAE Systems. The vehicle will be built in India and will offer a high level of protection at a cost effective price.
