In a major step towards scaling up its operational mobility and supporting the 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' initiative, the Indian Army has signed a contract worth ₹223.95 crore with Axiscades Aerospace and Technologies Private Limited for the procurement of 212 state-of-the-art 50-ton tank transporter trailers.
The contract was signed on August 1, 2025, under the Buy (Indian-IDDM) category, reinforcing the commitment to indigenisation in defence manufacturing.
These next-generation trailers come equipped with hydraulic/pneumatic loading ramps and steerable & liftable axles, enabling swift and efficient transportation of tanks and other Armoured (A) vehicles across diverse and challenging terrain. The advanced mobility solutions offered by these platforms will act as a force multiplier for the field army, significantly enhancing its logistical and operational capabilities.
This indigenous procurement not only marks a boost to the Indian defence manufacturing ecosystem but also promises sustained employment generation. It stands as a testament to the Indian Army’s continuous efforts in strengthening self-reliance and building robust capabilities for future challenges.
