Army Launches Advanced Vehicle Logistics Hub in Leh for High-Altitude Readiness
The Indian Army has inaugurated a state-of-the-art new-generation vehicle logistics hub in Leh, enhancing operational readiness in high-altitude areas of Ladakh. Opened by Lieutenant General Hitesh Bhalla, this facility will serve as a central maintenance and support base for military vehicles, addressing challenges posed by extreme weather and rugged terrain. Equipped with advanced automation and a robust supply chain framework, the hub will significantly reduce vehicle downtime during critical missions. Collaborating with six major Indian defense industry players, the initiative reflects India’s commitment to modernizing logistics under the Make in India initiative, bolstering the Army’s operational capabilities along the Line of Control and Line of Actual Control while reducing reliance on distant maintenance resources. This strategic development underscores India’s proactive approach to ensuring high readiness in one of the world’s most challenging environments.
