JSW Group Initiative to Indigenously Manufacture Tactical Mobility Platforms for Defence
Chandigarh: JSW Sarbloh Motors, a subsidiary of JSW Defence Private Limited and part of the JSW Group, today announced a strategic joint venture with Tomcar USA, a globally respected manufacturer of high-performance all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). The partnership will focus on the indigenous production of the Tomcar TX range in India, marking a significant step towards strengthening the country’s tactical mobility ecosystem.
This collaboration is aligned with India’s push for self-reliance in defence manufacturing. It will cater to the Indian Armed Forces, Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), State Police units, as well as critical industrial sectors requiring ultra-durable off-road mobility platforms.
Under the joint venture, JSW Sarbloh Motors will indigenize, manufacture, assemble, and provide lifecycle support for the Tomcar TX range at its Chandigarh facility. The first India-assembled TX vehicles are expected to roll out by early 2026, with field trials and demonstrations scheduled for defence and paramilitary agencies in the coming months.
Parth Jindal, JSW Group, said: “We are delighted to announce this strategic joint venture between JSW Sarbloh Motors and Tomcar USA, which marks a significant milestone in our commitment to enhancing India’s defence capabilities. The TX platform is designed to meet the rigorous demands of our armed forces and security agencies while ensuring superior durability, flexibility, and safety. At JSW, we believe in combining cutting-edge technology with local production capabilities to foster a robust industrial ecosystem that strengthens our national security and creates job opportunities.”
Jaskirat Vladimir Singh Nagra, CEO & Founder Director, JSW Sarbloh Motors, added: “This joint venture is more than a business partnership; it is a strategic alignment of vision and purpose. We are committed to offering India’s defence and industrial sectors world-class mobility platforms with the ruggedness, modularity, and reliability they demand. Our collaboration with Tomcar will set new standards in tactical mobility within India and beyond.”
Ram Zarchi, Founder & Principal, Tomcar USA, stated: “We are honoured to announce our strategic joint venture with the JSW Group, marking a pivotal milestone in Tomcar’s entry into India. By combining Tomcar’s decades of mission-grade engineering with JSW’s manufacturing expertise and leadership, we will deliver proven tactical platforms to the Indian Armed Forces while expanding Tomcar’s footprint in right-hand-drive markets worldwide.”
Mark W. Farage, Interim CEO, Tomcar USA, said: “This joint venture is the culmination of a thoughtful and deliberate process aimed at creating a truly strategic partnership. We hope to contribute meaningfully to India’s modern defence requirements by delivering the battle-tested Tomcar platform to the Indian Army. Beyond defence, we see immense opportunities in India’s commercial sectors — from mining and timber to search and rescue, border patrol, farming, and beyond. This partnership positions us to deliver unmatched performance, durability, and reliability to customers across the country.”
With this joint venture, JSW Group adds another dimension to its diversified industrial portfolio, reinforcing its commitment to Atmanirbhar Bharat and India’s defence self-reliance roadmap.
