For some reason none of the vehicles being developed by Indian companies for IA look good. Some of them look outright ugly in fact. Only one that looks pretty good is the Mahindra ALSV - glad we bought a ~1000 of them.

Ya'll Nibbiars even the Tata one looks good enough.

So, army bought Ak-15 instead of Scar L and H, for which tender was issued.
Scar l and h was for paras.these are for state anti terrorism forces.after the fall of kabul now we are seeing a large country wide NSG drill.ak103 purchase and now ak15.so SF like NSG May get some good upgrades and even state ATS teams but our SF will mostly remain the same

No I mean where is that list from? ~1500 FAT trucks can't be for IAF, neither I think they have use for 900 LBPV.

However, even though Ashok Leyland LBPV is in service with IAF, the term "LBPV" is used for other vehicles as well, we can't assume it will be same ASL one as IAF:

What a Shit is this man !!!!! Looks like Minicipality Garbage Van..

Made in India: Indian soldiers get light weight Bullet Proof Helmets

The Indian Army soldiers are now protected against AK-47 bullet strikes with the new `Made in India’ Bullet Proof Helmets. The new helmets were the first major contract for modern composite helmets placed under Make in India initiative, and the contract between Kanpur based MKU Ltd and the Ministry of Defence was signed during the tenure of the then defence minister Late Manohar Parrikkar in 2016. The contract was for 1, 58.279 Bullet Proof Helmets (BPH).
