BEML, DRDO partner on Arjun Tank support vehicles

BEML has signed three new deals with DRDO’s Vehicles Research & Development lab to make special vehicles for the Indian Army.

Under the deal, BEML will build two types of maintenance & repair vehicles for the Army’s MBT Arjun tanks, plus an advanced 70-tonne trailer to transport tanks.

These vehicles help move and fix heavy tanks quickly, keeping the Army’s frontline gear ready for action.

The designs and tech will be made fully in India, cutting reliance on imports and boosting local manufacturing.

For BEML, this opens up a steady stream of high-value defence orders in a fast-growing segment.
