The Indian Army has deployed the newly inducted ATOR N1200 amphibious Specialist Mobility Vehicle (SMV) for flood rescue efforts in Amritsar. With its floating capability, low-pressure tires, and robust design, it navigates waterlogged and rugged terrain to evacuate stranded villagers and deliver essential supplies. Developed by JSW Gecko Motors, the vehicle was first showcased during the 2024 Republic Day Parade. The government has ordered 96 units under a ₹250-crore deal. Deployed in multiple Punjab districts, the ATOR N1200 highlights the Army’s rapid humanitarian response and technological readiness during natural disasters.
