A new general purpose pattern for the Indian Army appeared in 2006. The design incorporates horizontal swathes of black, brown and green on a khaki-green background. The crossed sword logo of the Indian Army, with letting in English and Hindi, is conservatively imprinted into the pattern. Although there are similarities between the new "PC DPM" pattern and the French CE woodland pattern show some similarities, the former version does not appear to have been copied directly from the French. The official designation of this pattern is PC Disruptive with Indian Army Logo, PC referring to peacekeeping forces.
