New Delhi: OVERDRIVE, India’s leading automotive media platform, marks its 27th anniversary with a landmark special edition dedicated to the Indian Army’s automotive strength. The exclusive feature offers a rare inside look at the Army’s mechanised force, showcasing the advanced engineering, cutting-edge technology, and unwavering resilience behind one of the world’s most formidable defence units.
As part of this special edition, OVERDRIVE visited Ahilyanagar, Maharashtra, home to two premier training institutions — the Armoured Corps Centre and School (ACC&S) and the Mechanised Infantry Centre and School (MIC&S). These institutes form the backbone of mechanised warfare training in India and provide an unparalleled view into the Army’s automotive world.
In true OVERDRIVE style, the feature takes readers through an immersive journey of military vehicles rarely seen in automotive media. From main battle tanks such as the T-72, T-90, and Arjun, to the agile amphibious BMP, and versatile utility vehicles like the Gypsy, Tata Safari Storme GS800, and battlefield haulage trucks, the coverage reflects the scale and diversity of the Indian Army’s fleet.
Commemorating this milestone, Kranti Sambhav, Editor of OVERDRIVE, said, “We are truly delighted to mark this milestone with a special edition dedicated to the Indian Army’s extraordinary automotive prowess. OVERDRIVE has always been at the forefront of automotive journalism, pushing boundaries and uncovering stories that matter. This anniversary feels especially meaningful, as we ventured into uncharted territory, bringing to light a fascinating array of military vehicles that have rarely been showcased in mainstream automotive media. It is both a tribute to our armed forces and our commitment to innovation, depth, and storytelling.”
The feature also sheds light on how Army aspirants are trained not only in combat but also in mechanical engineering and vehicle operation, making them among the most skilled professionals in military mobility and warfare. With cinematic visuals, expert insights, and engaging narration, OVERDRIVE pays tribute not just to the machines but to the brave individuals behind the wheel, honouring the noble spirit of service in the Indian Army.
Alongside this special coverage, the anniversary edition also features exclusive reviews of the Range Rover Sport diesel (assembled in India), Volvo EX30, Triumph Thruxton, Aston Martin Vantage V8, and the first Toyota Fortuner Hybrid.
For 27 years, OVERDRIVE has been synonymous with authoritative, insightful, and engaging automotive journalism. With this special anniversary edition, it reaffirms its position as India’s most trusted automotive media brand, continuing to drive conversations on the road, on the track, and now, on the battlefield.
