    considering 15 years ago the only choice you had was TATA, Leyland and Hindustan Motors, and it was only in the early 90's that the market opened up there has been quite a bit of change in consumer choices

    It's the Mahindra Marksman

    (pic copyright Raj Malhotra)
    The Marksman is India’s first armoured capsule based light bullet proof vehicle and is designed to provide protection to Defence personnel, Para Military and Police forces against small arms fire and under barrel grenade attacks. It can also be used in counter terrorist activities as well as in more conventional roles such as armed reconnaissance and convoy protection.
