BEML bags high mobility vehicles order from Defence Ministry

BEML received order from the Ministry of Defence (MoD) for supply for 330 high mobility vehicles, for Pinaka Project at an approximate cost of Rs 842 crore.

Pinaka is a multi-barrel rocket launcher developed indigenously for the Indian Army and produced in India by involving public and private sector defence industries. The multi-barrel launcher system is mounted on the highly rugged BEML truck, much acclaimed for its off-road mobility and would provide the Indian Army with vital manoeuvrability on the battlefield.

This order is a big boost to BEML, involved in the manufacturing of the high mobility vehicles with superior features under the 鈥楳ake in India鈥 programme, thus demonstrating BEML鈥檚 efforts under the 鈥楢tmanirbhar Bharat鈥 initiative. The equipment will be manufactured at BEML鈥檚 Palakkad plant in Kerala and would supply the vehicle platform to MoD in a span of three years.

鈥淲e are proud to support MoD under the 鈥楳ake in India鈥 project for supply of 330 BEML heavy duty trucks for the Pinaka regiments that will further enhance the combat capabilities of the Indian Army. BEML signifies the true spirit and be an enabler for 鈥楢tmanirbhar Bharat鈥,鈥 said Dr Deepak Kumar Hota, CMD, BEML.
