Live Images: Mahindra Rakshak Plus at 2012 Defense Expo
Moving on from Tata Motors, we head straight to Mahindra camp. Mahindra presented the Rakshak Plus. Like the Safari Storme Armored, the Rakshak Plus will provide you Level-3 protection.
However, this vehicle is manufactured for an entirely different motive. It is engineered for a rapid action in case of a terrorist attack and as you would have guessed already, the vehicle will only be available to Defense forces. After the 26/11 attack, Mumbai Police have already included this vehicle into its fleet of the anti-terrorist cell.
The Mahindra Rakshak Plus holds a payload capacity of 600 kg and gets all the bells and whistles including a PTZ surveillance camera that can give the soldiers a 3600 view with zoom capacity of about 500 meters, port holes on both sides and in the roof.

The car shares the engine with the Scorpio i.e. the 2.2L M-Hawk engine. The vehicle gets run-flat tyres that can be used for about 50 km even after punctured. The kerb weight of the car sits at approx. 2650 kg.
