JSW Group, entered the defence industry by acquiring a majority investment in Gecko Motors Pvt Ltd, which manufactures extreme off-road vehicles. Its subsidiary, JSW Defence and Aerospace, has acquired an interest in the company, which has been renamed JSW Gecko Motors Pvt Ltd (JSW Gecko).
JSW Gecko, pushed by its founders led by Jaskirat Singh Nagra, bagged an order worth Rs 250 crore from the defence ministry for the manufacturing and supply of 96 numbers of Specialist Mobility Vehicles branded as ATOR N1200.
The vehicles are manufactured at JSW Gecko's newly established production facility in Chandigarh, Punjab, and were delivered to the Armed Forces in June 2024.
Copato Ltd of the United Kingdom, has designed the ATOR N1200, an indigenous version of the SHERP N1200 amphibious extreme mobility vehicle.
There are plans to sell these speciality offroading vehicles to civilians, too.
