New Delhi: JSW Sarbloh Motors, a subsidiary of JSW Defence Private Limited, said Thursday it has partnered with US-based off-road utility vehicles manufacturer Tomcar for local production of the TX series All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) in India.
Deployed in military and industrial operations globally, the TX series is highly durable and versatile, designed to operate under extreme off-road conditions. The multipurpose ATV boasts a maximum speed of 104.5 kmph.
The Indian Army uses ATVs for various operations including troop transport, logistics and emergency response in challenging terrains.
Under the strategic joint venture, JSW Sarbloh Motors will indigenise, manufacture, assemble and support the TX range at its facility in Chandigarh, with the first India-assembled units expected to roll out by early 2026.
Field trials and demonstrations have been scheduled for multiple defence and paramilitary agencies over coming months.
Jaskirat Vladimir Singh Nagra, the CEO and dounder-director of JSW Sarbloh Motors, said the joint venture is a strategic alignment, committed to offering the Indian defence sector “world-class mobility platforms with the ruggedness, modularity, and reliability”.
Ram Zarchi, the founder of the Phoenix-based US manufacturer, said they are looking to expand their global footprint, particularly into the right-hand-drive markets like India.
