The Army is seeking to procure 170 Armoured Recovery Vehicles on tracked platforms for both deserts and plains along the country’s western borders as well as in high-altitude and mountainous terrains at eastern Ladakh or north Sikkim.

At present, the Army operates the BEML-built vehicles which are based on the Russian-made T-72 tank hulls. During operations under hostile conditions, these vehicles help the repair and recovery capabilities of its armoured fighting vehicles.

“With induction of higher mobility and heavier platforms like T-90s and Arjun tanks, it is vital that recovery vehicles with matching mobility and repair capabilities are inducted for all mechanised formations,” an official told The Indian Express.

In a Request for Information published Tuesday, the Army said the vehicles should have adequate cross-country mobility and protection and should be able to carry six people including driver and commander.

It said the vehicles should also have utility equipment such as a crane, winches and special maintenance tools so as to undertake various repair and recovery roles.
