US Stryker Armoured Vehicle Acquisition Plan

rejected

A proposed plan for the Indian Army to acquire the American-made Stryker Armoured Vehicle was evaluated but is now in doubt after the vehicle failed to meet the critical operational requirement of amphibious capability during trials in India. The Stryker, manufactured by General Dynamics Land Systems, was tested across diverse Indian terrains as part of a potential co-production deal under the India-US Defence Technology and Trade Initiative (DTTI). The deal was valued at over $1 billion and included technology transfer and manufacturing provisions within India, with major Indian defence firms like Larsen & Toubro and Mahindra Defence Systems as potential partners.
