The '''Mechanised Infantry Regiment''' is an [[infantry]] [[regiment]] of the [[Indian Army]], comprising 27 battalions dispersed under various armoured formations throughout India. It is one of the youngest regiments in the army, and though it was formed as a result of lessons learned in the [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1965|1965 Indo-Pak War]], to give infantry battalions greater mobility, it was the mastermind of [[Krishnaswamy Sundarji|Gen Sundarji]] who had the foresight to cater the needs of a modern army.<ref name=autogenerated1/> Initially, some of the older infantry battalions of various regiments were equipped with the [[BMP-1]] [[armoured personnel carriers]]. The need for something more concrete and viable was felt along with a need to develop a common philosophy with regards to the type of tactics. This necessitated the raising a totally new arm in the Indian Army, resulting in the various mechanised battalions being brought together under a single [[cap badge]] as the Mechanised Infantry Regiment in 1979.<ref name=autogenerated1>[http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/LAND-FORCES/Units/Infantry/99-Mechanised.html Bharat Rakshak :: Land Forces Site - The Mechanised Infantry Regiment<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120126113816/http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/LAND-FORCES/Units/Infantry/99-Mechanised.html |date=2012-01-26 }}</ref>
The '''Mechanised Infantry Regiment''' is an [[infantry]] [[regiment]] of the [[Indian Army]], comprising 27 battalions dispersed under various armoured formations throughout India. Together with the 21 battalions of [[Brigade of the Guards]], they form part of the ''Mechanised Infantry'' arm, which along with the [[Indian Army Armoured Corps|Armoured Corps]] form the Mechanised Forces.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/archive/nation/4-new-mechanised-battalions-for-army-349271|title=4 new mechanised battalions for Army|date=2017-01-12|access-date=2022-04-09}}</ref>


==History==
The Mechanised Infantry Regiment is one of the youngest regiments in the army and was the mastermind of [[Krishnaswamy Sundarji|General K Sundarji]], who had the foresight to cater to the needs of a modern army.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://pib.gov.in/newsite/PrintRelease.aspx?relid=189859|title=Second General K Sundarji Memorial Lecture|date=2019-04-27|access-date=2022-04-09}}</ref> After the [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1965]], a need was felt to give infantry battalions greater mobility, especially when operating with armoured formations. In 1969, 1st Madras became the first infantry unit to be equipped with the [[Armoured personnel carrier|armoured personnel carrier]] (APC) [[OT-62 TOPAS|TOPAS]]. In 1970, nine more of the oldest battalions from various infantry regiments were equipped with APCs, these included TOPAS, [[OT-64 SKOT|SKOT]] and [[BTR-60]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://salute.co.in/raising-of-the-mechanised-infantry-regiment/|title=RAISING OF THE MECHANISED INFANTRY REGIMENT|date=2017-09-10|access-date=2022-04-09}}</ref>  These battalions remained affiliated with their erstwhile Infantry Regiments and Regimental Centres and did not form a separate regiment. Eventually, fourteen old infantry battalions were mechanised.<ref name="Infantry">{{cite web|url=http://www.indiandefencereview.com/spotlights/infantry-regiments-the-cutting-edge-of-soldiering/0/|title=Infantry Regiments: The cutting edge of Soldiering|date=2018-01-24|access-date=2022-04-09}}</ref><ref name="IA">{{cite web|url=https://indianarmy.nic.in/Site/FormTemplete/frmTempSimple.aspx?MnId=a6ojAr7FSFAgvNAVrQMY4A==&ParentID=EAdr3F/pgLnf+YStJqXDDg==|title=Mech Inf Brief History|date=|access-date=2022-04-09}}</ref>
During the [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1971]], some of these battalions saw action as part of combat groupings with [[Indian Army Armoured Corps|armoured units]] for the first time.
The APCs were replaced with [[BMP-1]] Infantry Combat Vehicles between 1977 and 1978. The need for something more concrete and viable was felt, along with a need to develop a common battle and training philosophy with regards to the type of tactics. This necessitated the raising a totally new arm in the Indian Army, resulting in the various mechanised battalions being brought together under a single [[cap badge]] as the Mechanised Infantry Regiment, which was raised with fourteen battalions on 2 April 1979 and the affairs of the regiment were transferred from Directorate General of Infantry to Armoured Corps Directorate, which was renamed the Directorate General Mechanised Forces in  1986. Gen K Sundarji was appointed the first Colonel of the Mechanised Infantry Regiment, the post he held till his retirement.<ref name="Infantry"/><ref name=autogenerated1>[http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/LAND-FORCES/Units/Infantry/99-Mechanised.html Bharat Rakshak :: Land Forces Site - The Mechanised Infantry Regiment<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120126113816/http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/LAND-FORCES/Units/Infantry/99-Mechanised.html |date=2012-01-26 }}</ref>

Mechanised infantry battalions numbered 15 to 26 have been raised on all-India mixed class composition, unlike the older units, which were single class ones.
