It looks like the WhAP (Wheeled Armored Platform) has already seen action against Naxals in 2024.

The newest addition to the forces’ arsenal is WhAP or the Wheeled Armoured Platform, jointly designed by Tata Advanced Systems and the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). An armoured troop carrier, it has weapons control inside the vehicle and anti-mine abilities. This platform has helped the forces take the battle to the Naxals when under attack. Last year, when Naxals attacked the CRPF camp in Tekulagudem in Telangana, second-in-command S.S. Haokip commandeered the WhAP that used its MMGs to open fire at the huddled insurgents. This was the first time the Naxals had witnessed a WhAP in action, forcing them to beat a hasty retreat.
