Indian Army & Air Force Bet Big on Force Gurkha With ₹3,000 Crore Deal for Light Specialist Vehicles

Pune, India – Force Motors just landed one of its biggest defence deals yet—a contract to supply 2,978 Force Gurkha vehicles to the Indian Army and the Indian Air Force. This isn’t just another order; it’s a strong vote of confidence from the military in homegrown, battle-ready mobility solutions.

For those who follow military-grade vehicles, the Force Gurkha is no stranger to the rugged life. With its insane off-road capabilities, high ground clearance, and best-in-class water-wading ability, this beast is built to handle anything—from the harsh deserts of Rajasthan to the unforgiving terrains of Ladakh.

Gurkha: A Proven Warrior on Wheels

Force Motors has been supplying its Gurkha Light Strike Vehicle (LSV) to the defence sector for years. And now, with this massive new order, the company is cementing itself as a go-to player in military-grade mobility solutions.

“We are honoured to continue our association with the Indian Defence Forces through this substantial order,” said Prasan Firodia, Managing Director, Force Motors. “Our vehicles are designed to meet the highest standards of quality, reliability, and performance, ensuring our forces have the best equipment for their missions.”

This deal isn’t just about rugged machines—it’s also a big win for the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ initiative. India has been pushing hard for self-reliance in defence tech, and this move further reduces dependence on foreign military vehicles.

Mission-Ready, No Matter the Terrain

The Force Gurkha is a force multiplier for military mobility. Known for its indestructible build and top-notch 4x4 capabilities, this machine can power through rocky inclines, swampy marshlands, and deep snow—a crucial asset for India’s troops stationed in extreme conditions.

The first batch of these military-spec Gurkhas is expected to start rolling out in the coming months. Once deployed, these vehicles will play a key role in troop movement, reconnaissance, and special operations. With this order, Force Motors isn’t just making vehicles—it’s shaping the future of Indian defence mobility. One rugged Gurkha at a time.
