The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has inaugurated a state-of-the-art automotive and weapons systems testing centre in Chennai, specifically at Vellanur near the Combat Vehicles Research and Development Establishment (CVRDE) in Avadi. This facility includes 26 different types of tracks designed to test the full range of automotive performance parameters for tracked armoured fighting vehicles. The strategic location and specialized infrastructure aim to enhance India's defence capabilities by enabling rigorous testing and development of military vehicles, thereby contributing significantly to the indigenisation and modernisation of the nation’s armed forces.
