In a significant step towards promoting indigenous capabilities and strengthening operational efficiency, 62 Indian-manufactured vehicles are set to reach Lebanon for utilisation by the Indian contingent deployed in the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).
The fleet comprises High Mobility Troop Carriage Vehicles, Utility Vehicles (1 Ton and 2.5 Ton), Medium and Light Ambulances, Fuel Bowsers, and Recovery Vehicles.
Until now, Indian troops serving in the UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon were operating vehicles provided by the UN, which were sourced from other countries. With the induction of these Made-in-India vehicles, the Indian battalion will now rely on robust and homegrown platforms, showcasing India’s commitment to self-reliance and its growing defense manufacturing capabilities on the global stage.
This development underscores India’s leadership in peacekeeping missions and highlights the nation’s support for indigenous innovation in defense.
