Pantsir was on the cards. MOD issued the tender in 2013. Don't know whatever the hell happened to that.

Sorry guys, this has exactly 0 chance of coming to Kashmir.
Who will use it? JKP (can't afford it)? CRPF (aren't even deploying their specialist anti-riot unit, RAF, to the valley)?
Mahindra can offer it to the forces but they are unlikely to buy it. Ideally this should be ordered by CRPF's RAF and they should crush the Jihadi stone pelters once anytime they dare to take to the streets but it is clear by how pathetically the security forces handle these crowd control issues that there is little interest in tackling this problem once and for all.
