One way this could happen is if mahindra uses an existing chassis , something like Mahindra Axe could be recycled if needed

Accidents, suicides, ailments kill 1,600 soldiers every year | India News - Times of India

Without going to war, India loses around 1,600 military personnel every year. And the single biggest killers are road accidents and suicides, much more than counter-insurgency operations or firing duels with Pakistan along the line of control in Jammu and Kashmir.

Latest figures collated by TOI show that road accidents claim the lives of over 350 soldiers, sailors and airmen every year, while another 120 personnel take the extreme step of committing suicide. Other big causes are training accidents and various health reasons, which itself is a big worry for the forces that are supposed to be fighting fit.

The Army, Navy and Indian Air Force (IAF) have lost over 6,500 personnel just since 2014. The highest toll, of course, is found in the 11.73-lakh strong Army

"Physical casualties" are more than 12 times the number of "battle casualties" in the Army. If the force recorded 112 fatal battle casualties in border skirmishes, shelling, counter-insurgency operations and operational accidents in "notified areas" in 2016, it lost over 1,480 soldiers due to physical casualties.
