Actually Malasya is really interested in Axe. I dunno abt Indian army tho.

Mahindra Axe Launched in Malaysia
The Mahindra Axe was successfully launched at the Defence Exhibition – DSA 2008 (Defence Services Asia), held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from April 21-24, 2008.
The vehicle was displayed at the stall of AS’s marketing partner DSSB, which is a part of the DRB-Hicom Group, one of the largest companies in Malaysia.
The Axe generated a lot of interest among visitors from all over the world, including the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia, the Chief of Malaysian Army, Defence Secretary of Timor-Leste and the Chief of Cambodian Defence Forces.
The visitors were impressed with the configuration and rugged look of the vehicle and they appreciated its overall packaging.
The Malaysian Army will be evaluating the Axe for their requirements for High Mobility Reconnaissance Vehicles. The Axe’s induction in Malaysian Army will be a significant achievement for AS and will open the markets in the nearby countries.

Mahindra Axe – The Mahindra Axe Fast Attack Vehicle (FAV) is a lightweight, high mobility, high payload combat vehicle, designed for use by Special Forces and for varied operational requirements. The Axe is available with both diesel and petrol engines and has automatic transmission and independent suspension, giving it outstanding high mobility capability.

Marksman – The Marksman is India’s first armoured capsule based light bullet proof vehicle and is designed to provide protection to Defence personnel, Para Military and Police forces against small arms fire and under belly grenade attacks. It can also be used in counter terrorist activities as well as in more conventional roles such as armed reconnaissance and convoy protection.

Mahindra Striker – A new generation general purpose light military vehicle. This high performance vehicle has great versatility in employment.

Up Armoured Scorpio – This ‘discreetly protected’ Scorpio is ideal for VIP protection as it offers both security and comfort. The Up-Armoured Scorpio is already being used by the Indian Armed Forces and other Security Forces of India as well as by foreign countries for VIP protection.

Mine Protected Vehicle – Designed for operational use by troop / police deployments in insurgent areas, the Mine Protected Vehicle is built to protect personnel against small arms and mines / IEDs.

Cash in Transit Van – A modern, high security custom made van, the Cash in Transit Van is used for transportation of high value assets, particularly cash. The high security built into these vans reduces risk in transit, while incorporation of GPS allows monitoring and control of the vehicle.

MDS – Underwater Systems
MDS was formed in the year 2000 to address the needs of the Defence and Security Forces. After the Land Systems’ successful foray to participate in the Government’s indigenous drive, MDS Underwater Systems has developed yet another niche area of defence expertise. Having undergone stringent trials of the DRDO/Naval-designed sea mine of the Indian Navy in 2006, MDS was considered ‘fit for production’ in 2006. With this ability to manufacture an underwater product, the Company decided to participate in the specialised field of underwater armament and systems for the Navy.

Dedicated infrastructure, including the filament winding equipment, was erected at Mahindra Underwater Systems (MUS), Pune. Products include sea mines, its variants, filament wound carbon fibre tubes, etc.

MDS - Land Systems
MDS is in the advanced stages of setting up a Mahindra Special Military Vehicles (MSMV) facility at Faridabad. This facility will have modern facilities for R&D, prototype fabrication and system integration of vehicles for military use. This is the first such facility in India in the private sector.

About Mahindra Defence Systems
Mahindra Defence Systems is a division of the US$ 6 billion group Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd, the eighth largest group in India. MDS is today the country’s leading provider of high mobility and light bullet proof vehicles to the armed forces, paramilitary and police forces. There are in excess of 500 Rakshaks and up-armoured Scorpios in service in the Indian Army and security/police forces in India and abroad.
