Just found this New concept from ACMAT in France it seems to be a pretty good platform that can be used for recon, transport and assault roles as per the modifications.

What we need to do is put our best CV manufacturers to build such a versatile concept with commonality in chassis and drive train that can cut down on the logistics train and costs.

What's with the netting on the sides and back? Protection from grenades?

ASCOD 2 SV Armoured infantry fighting vehicle General Dynamics
The ASCOD 2 SV is an armoured infantry fighting vehicle designed and manufactured by Steyr now General Dynamics European Land Systems. The ASCOD 2 (in Austria named ULAN and in Spain Pizarro) is a tracked armored vehicle in the class of 30 to 35 tons. The development of the ULAN began under the name ASCOD (Austrian-Spanish Cooperative Development) as a joint cooperation between General Dynamics Santa Bárbara Sistemas of Spain and Steyr-Daimler-Puch Spezialfahrzeug GmbH. The ASCOD company consists of the Austrian Company, Steyr-Daimler-Puch Spezialfahrzeug AG & Co AG and the Spanish company, Santa Barbara Sistemas. Following extensive trials with prototype vehicles, the Spanish government placed the first contract for the Pizarro early in 1996. The first prototype (PT01) was completed in 1990, with the turret and chassis being built in Austria and systems integration taking place in Spain. Prototype 2 was completed in 1992, and the last prototype was built in Spain in 1994, baseline for the Spanish army version. The ASCOD 2 SV is a modern, highly agile Infantry Fighting Vehicle that can be adapted to meet the reconnaissance requirement with the stretch potential to meet other FRES SV roles. General Dynamics UK is under contract with the UK MoD to adapt the vehicle to meet the capability. The total FRES fleet requirement is, once again, under review. FRES UV remains high on the Army's priorities. ASCOD 2 SV has been designed to a rating of 42 tonnes, and incorporates a fully proven transmission rated at 45 tonnes. This means the load carrying ability of ASCOD SV meets the full Future Rapid Effects System Specialist Vehicles (FRES SV) requirement now and won't require a major upgrade programme to deliver all the variants. ASCOD 2 SV offers new levels of protection, from one common-base platform which can meet the whole of the requirement. ASCOD 2 turret is designed by Lockheed Martin UK INSYS, specifically for the British Army's scout role. In June 2010, less than 11 months after the UK Scout / Specialist Vehicle (SV) Demonstration Phase contract was signed, the Industry Team led by General Dynamics UK has demonstrated impressive progress on the programme. The Team has conducted live-fire tests of the new Cased Telescoped (CT40) cannon system integrated in the very first Scout SV Turret, five months ahead of schedule.

this has Zero Protection!!
they are Targets???
These version of vehicle are known as Light strike vehicle, Its not necessary that every assault vehicle have to be armored...

These LsV are open and flexible, When Ambushed, vehicle helps out infantry to jump out and spread out that makes a concentrated enemy a target..

I just love that beast its a solution for all the T-55 in storage but then is there a scenario where we expect the Indian Army to fight in Urban setting
Assume we implement Cold Start and take control of smaller towns close to the international border, yes, we'll need these.

Major tradeoff: almost nil protection against IEDs.
