The PSU, which operates under the Defence Ministry, on Wednesday (11 December) said that it has secured a Rs 136-crore contract to supply the HMVs.

These vehicles will play a pivotal role in the Battle Field Surveillance System (BFSS) Project, reinforcing India’s defence capabilities and advancing the Government’s vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat, the Defence PSU stated.

Manufactured at BEML’s facilities, the HMV 8x8 is designed to deliver exceptional reliability and versatility, even in the most challenging environments, it said.

According to BEML, these features ensure superior mobility, stability and operational safety.
