Infrastructure major Larsen & Toubro Ltd (L&T) and BAE Systems bagged a contract from the Indian Army for the supply of BvS10 Sindhu, a specialised all-terrain armoured vehicle.
The contract says that L&T will indigenously produce the BvS10 Sindhu at its Armoured Systems Complex in Hazira. In the manufacturing, L&T will get technical and design support from BAE Systems Hägglunds, the original manufacturer of the BvS10 platform.
The contract also includes a comprehensive integrated logistics support package for initial deployment, maintenance, and life-cycle sustainment, L&T said in a filing to BSE.
The BvS10 Sindhu is an upgraded variant of the proven BvS10 all-terrain vehicle with adaptations tailored specifically for high altitude, desert, marshland, and amphibious environments.
