Business Line : Companies News : Tata Motors to invest Rs 600 cr on defence vehicles

Tata Motors on Thursday said it may invest about Rs 600 crore on development of Futuristic Infantry Combat Vehicles (FICV) and for possibly setting up of a manufacturing plant for the same.

“The development cost of FICV could be around Rs 300 crore and a manufacturing plant for the same could be around Rs 250 crore or above,” said Mr Ravi Pisharody, President, Commercial Vehicles Business Unit, Tata Motors.

Tata Motors is one of the four companies which have received Expression of Interest (EOI) to supply around 2,000 units, Mr Pisharody said.

He however, said the tender process is yet to be completed and hence there is no final decision on setting up of the plant. “The plant may be set up in Dharwad (Karnataka) if we get the order,” he added.

The company’s revenue from the defence business is estimated to be Rs 1,000 crore in this fiscal year, a 50 per cent growth over the last year.

The company, with an order book of Rs 250—300 crore, is also looking to supply landmine protected vehicles to states like Maharashtra and Jharkhand.

Tata Safari Storme Armoured: With the strong resurgence of threat perceptions amongst high profile dignitaries, trade delegates, etc., the need arises for a mode of transport, which is very safe, but at the same time comfortable and stylish enough for this segment of people. Tata Motors offers the Tata Armored Safari Storme, equipped with latest state-of-art technology, for catering to VVIP movements. The Armored Safari Storme inculcates a strengthened chassis & suspension system, enhanced braking efficiency of the vehicle, to take care of the additional armoring weight, so that the performance of vehicle remains similar, to that of the unarmored Safari. Such a vehicle carries a CMVR certificate and is legal to run on road as per CMVR. The vehicle has internal Up-Armoring and to the untrained eye, the look is “innocent”.
