At the recent Maharashtra MSME Defence Expo, it has been confirmed to idrw.org that two private sector giants, Tata and Bharat-Forge, will serve as Development cum Production Partners (DcPP) for the Futuristic Infantry Combat Vehicle (FICV) program. This announcement marks a crucial advancement in India’s indigenous defence manufacturing and modernization efforts.

The genesis of this development can be traced back to the Defense Acquisition Council’s (DAC) decision last year, chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, which greenlit the procurement of the FICV for the Indian Army.

The Futuristic Infantry Combat Vehicle (FICV) program holds paramount importance for the Indian Army’s modernization agenda. With plans to acquire 750 units of the indigenous, amphibious, tracked FICVs, the Indian Army aims to retire its ageing fleet of Soviet Union-era BMP-1 and BMP-2 infantry combat vehicles (ICVs).
