Production of the Komodo was based at Pindad's factory in Bandung, West Java. The creation of a working Komodo prototype was completed on March 2012.

The Komodo made its first appearance when Pindad demonstrated the tactical vehicle to visitors at the RITech Expo on September 2012. Production on a working Komodo by Pindad started on October 5, 2012. On November 10, 2012, President Yudhoyono gave the name Komodo to new tactical vehicle at the Indo Defence 2012 Expo & Forum, Jakarta International Expo, Kemayoran, Jakarta.

A production plan of at least 240 Komodo tactical vehicles was planned after it was unveiled in Indodefence 2012.

Pindad has been awarded at the BUMN Award 2013 by the Indonesian government for their contribution in making the Komodo, since 80% of its components are being made locally. Pindad has reported confirmation that there are unnamed countries that are very interested to purchase Komodo tactical vehicles. Pindad has said that possible exports can be done for ASEAN member nations.

Normal cruising range of the Komodo is about 450 kilometers.

The Komodo's off-road capabilities have been tested in various conditions ranging from mountainous terrain to mud and sand.

While most parts of the Komodo are made locally in Indonesia such as the frame, body and design, Pindad has publicly stated that they used imported components such as Hino for machinery parts and Michelin for the tires. Its diesel engines were imported from Renault. The Komodo's monocoque steel body was made locally by Krakatau Steel.
