- Will be tailor-made for the forces
- New Gurkha range was launched last year
Force Motors has received an order of 2,978 units of the Gurkha from the Indian Defence Forces. These vehicles will be tailored to meet the diverse operational requirements of both the Indian Army and the Indian Air Force.
The updated Gurkha SUV, which launched last year, comprises of three and five-door versions. Available in a single, fully loaded variant for civilians, it is powered by a 2.6-litre diesel engine, producing 138bhp and 320Nm, paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Additionally, a 4WD system is standard too. We have driven the new Gurkha, and you can read the review on our website.
Speaking on the occasion, Prasan Firodia, Managing Director, Force Motors, said, “We are honoured to continue our association with the Indian Defence Forces through this substantial order. Our vehicles are designed with a focus on quality, reliability, ruggedness, and performance, aligning perfectly with the operational needs of our defence personnel. This order is a testament to the trust and confidence Indian Defence Forces place in Force Motors.”
