In a major boost to its operational logistics and the government’s push for self-reliance in defence, the Indian Army has signed a contract worth ₹223.95 crore with M/s Axiscades Aerospace and Technologies Private Limited for the procurement of 212 advanced 50 Ton Tank Transporter Trailers. The deal was finalised under the Buy (Indian-IDDM) category on August 1, 2025.
The newly inducted trailers feature state-of-the-art hydraulic and pneumatic loading ramps, along with steerable and liftable axles. These features enable fast and efficient loading, unloading, and movement of tanks and other armoured vehicles across complex terrain. Their deployment will significantly improve the mobility and logistical agility of frontline formations.
Designed and manufactured in India, these trailers align with the Indian Army’s broader efforts to strengthen indigenous defence production. The initiative also promises to generate local employment and build long-term industrial capabilities within the country.
This acquisition underlines the Indian Army’s commitment to operational preparedness while contributing to the national goal of a self-reliant defence ecosystem.
