The Indian Army after recently taking delivery of 96 ATOR N1200 Specialist Mobility Vehicles, is a major step forward in modernizing its logistical and operational capabilities. These vehicles, manufactured by JSW Gecko, a subsidiary of the JSW Group, are part of a larger Rs 250 crore contract awarded earlier this year.

As part of its expansion plans, the Indian Army intends to further increase its fleet of ATOR N1200 vehicles by procuring an additional 24 units. This will bring the total number of vehicles in service to 120. The ATOR N1200 is a cutting-edge amphibious extreme mobility vehicle, designed to excel in challenging terrains. Based on the renowned SHERP N1200, known for its robustness and versatility, the ATOR N1200 has been customized to meet the specific needs of the Indian Army.

A strategic partnership between Copato Ltd of the United Kingdom and JSW Defence and JSW Gecko has enabled the indigenous production of the ATOR N1200 in India. Copato has entered into a joint venture with JSW Defence and JSW Gecko, along with a technology supply license agreement, to facilitate the manufacturing process.

The vehicles are being assembled at JSW Gecko’s newly established manufacturing facility in Chandigarh, Punjab. This facility represents a significant investment in India’s defense manufacturing sector, contributing to the country’s Make in India initiative.

The ATOR N1200 is designed to operate in extreme conditions, offering unparalleled mobility across various terrains, including water, snow, mud, and sand. Its amphibious capabilities allow it to traverse water bodies, making it ideal for operations in areas with difficult geography, such as the North-East and Himalayan regions.

The vehicle’s rugged design and adaptability make it a valuable asset for the Indian Army, particularly for missions that require high maneuverability and reliability in remote and challenging environments.
