The Tata LPTA 1623 6x6 truck was developed as a private venture to meet a possible Indian Army requirement. For a long time Indian Army was obtaining Czech-designed Tatra trucks. However procurement of Tatras has been put on hold due to a bribery case and Indian Army was looking for a replacement. Tata Motors developed not only 8x8 version, but the whole family of heavy high mobility military trucks. There are 4x4, 8x8and even 12x12 versions. In 2015 Indian Army ordered over 1 200 units of Tata LPTA 1623 6x6 trucks. It was a single largest order awarded by the Indian Army for a local and private manufacturer.

Indian Army already operates a significant number of various trucks, produced by Tata Motors. However these are light and medium vehicles, rather than purpose-designed tactical vehicles.

This military truck has a payload capacity of over 10 000 kg. It can be used as logistic truck for troop/cargo carrying. Vehicle can be fitted with a hydraulic material handling crane for loading and unloading pallets, spares and other equipment. Also the Tata LPTA 1623 can be used as a special chassis for mounting various shelters, equipment and weapon systems. There are fuel and water tanker versions of this truck. Also there is a wrecker version, fitted with recovery hamper.

Vehicle has a modular cabin. It seems that it is interchangeable among the Tata range of high mobility trucks. Large cab of the LPTA 1623 accommodates driver and 4 passengers. There are two roof hatches for observation, firing and emergency exit. The cabin is tilted forward for engine access and maintenance.

The truck is fitted with a central tyre inflation system. This vehicle has good cross-country mobility and can go over all kinds of rough terrain. After preparation this military truck fords water obstacles up to 1.4 m deep.

This truck has already been approved to become the chassis for the BM-21 upgrade program as well as the SPYDER SHORADs system. Other versions will come through progressively. The AL Super Stallion truck is a competing platform, but more so in the 8 x 8 version which will become the FAT for the Bofors FH-77 and Dhanush FGHs.
Wonder which one will become the FATs for the M-46 Towed Gun system ?
