The Indian Maini Group acquired a majority stake in TOMCAR, a company based in Israel engaged in design and manufacture of high performance off road vehicles.

At the 2012 DefExpo we saw different types of military vehicles ranging from light military trucks and light armoured vehicles to fully armoured convoy trucks and even a large robust armoured Mine Protected Defense vehicle from Mahindra, which certainly caught everyone’s attention.

However, a significant development at this year’s military spec vehicle exhibition was the strong presence of battle-ready All-Terrain vehicles, the likes of Maini Group’s TOMCAR, which was showcased and subsequently launched during expo.

Just to give you a fair idea of this vehicle’s reputation beyond borders, the TOMCAR is deployed by the Israeli Military, the US Customs & Border Patrol and the British Army in Afghanistan. It has been customized for the military and border forces to carry Heavy Machine Guns, Anti-tank guided missile launchers, Automatic Grenade Launcher and even developed as two separate armoured and unmanned versions.

These vehicles are designed to be safe, rugged and extremely dependable and seeing their true potential the Maini Group has already built a manufacturing facility in Bangalore to cater to both its domestic and overseas TOMCAR customers.

Look nice and tough. Hope it can work in desert part too.

More private and public companies should acquire foreign defense brands. Similar to how Mahindra and TATA have acquired foreign auto companies, and used their expertise, infrastructure for their own benefit.

Good job Maini Group and hopefully we'll see more of this.

The man I hate!
What a nightmare!

Why? any bad personal experiences? With a Reva, perhaps.
Joe, need some info. What are the antecedents of the father of these Maini boys? Sandeep and Chetan; if I'm not mistaken.

It was the bozo in the forefront, who gave me a torrid time and wrecked all my plans for my organisation.

I need to find out and get back to you about the Mainis; I need to ask around among my Bangalore friends. Give me a few days.

Joe is right... with a good automotor industry itself could have built an affordable indian product......to be honest the tomcar is nothin more than a dune buggy.... ive seen them in afghanistan... at a military base...and its only use was to transport luggage.. or troopd frm one point to another...not much combat use..

Fast transport and patrolling all kinda terrain is good value for money. For combats Tanks and APC are there but it will be effective too
