JSW Sarbloh Motors Partners with Tomcar USA to Launch India’s First Indigenized Tactical ATVs

JSW Sarbloh Motors, a subsidiary of JSW Defence Private Limited, a JSW Group company, today formed a strategic joint venture with Tomcar USA, a globally respected manufacturer of high-performance all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), for the local production of the TX range ATVs in India.

This landmark partnership signifies a major initiative by the JSW Group in line with India’s efforts to develop indigenously-manufactured tactical mobility platforms for Indian Armed Forces, Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), State Police units, and strategic industrial sectors requiring ultra-durable extreme mobility off-road platforms.

Under the joint venture, JSW Sarbloh Motors will indigenize, manufacture, assemble, and support the Tomcar TX range at its facility in Chandigarh. The first India-assembled TX units are expected to roll out by early 2026, with field trials and demonstrations planned for multiple defence and paramilitary agencies in the coming months.

Mr. Parth Jindal of the 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 enhance India's defence capabilities. The TX platform is designed to meet the rigorous demands of our armed forces and security agencies whilst 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.”

Mr. Jaskirat Vladimir Singh Nagra, CEO and Founder Director of JSW Sarbloh Motors, said, "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. We look forward to this exciting collaboration and are confident that our joint efforts will set new standards in tactical mobility within India and beyond."

Mr. Ram Zarchi, Founder & Principal of 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. This partnership will allow us to deliver our proven platforms to the Indian Armed Forces, combining Tomcar’s decades of mission-grade engineering with JSW’s advanced manufacturing expertise and first-class leadership. Together, we will strengthen India’s tactical mobility capabilities while expanding Tomcar’s global footprint, particularly into right-hand-drive markets.”

Mr. Mark W. Farage, Interim CEO of Tomcar USA, commented: “This joint venture is the culmination of a thoughtful and deliberate process aimed at creating a truly strategic partnership. We are excited to hopefully contribute to India’s adaptation to the demands of modern warfare by providing the proven, battle-tested Tomcar platform to the Indian Army. In addition, we see enormous opportunity to deploy the Tomcar into India’s diverse 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.”
