I am trying to get the number and types currently in us by the Indian Army but frankly can´t wrap my mind around it as it seems to be a bewildering number of types, sub types and planned variations...
So if some one can point me towards a non wiki site, post a table or PM me I would be most grateful

Exactly what type of AFV are you looking for, i.e. tanks, armoured cars, artillery?????? Please clarify

It is well-known that India is highly deficient in SPGs and SPAAGs, if that helps. I think our only SPG is some weird Vijayanta-based weapon.

I think Indian made Tatra-BEML and UralAZ trucks have Centralized TPMS.

Edit: It should be TPCS.

TPMS - Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
TPCS - Tyre Pressure Control System
