-* Although the pixelated camouflage design of the ITBP continues to see limited service, a new pattern emerged in 2020 and appears to be general issue now to most units. The design consists of light and dark olive, tan and russet shapes (some versions also have dark brown) on a light sand-colored background. In addition, a dark-colored ITBP logo is also embedded into the pattern.

Other personnel will apparently continue to wear the previously adopted designs.

This new pattern features denser concentrations of light olive green, two tones of reddish earth-brown, and smaller concentrations of darker olive green on a sand-colored background. In late 2026, it seems many ITBP members are still wearing the previously issued, organic shape pattern for high altitude.

	* An announcement in May 2025 confirmed the Border Security Force (BSF) would follow in the footsteps of the Army and Air Force by adopting its own, distinctive camouflage design. The new camouflage is a five-color design incorporating 50% khaki/tan shades, 45% green shades, and about 5% dark brown. In development for about year and a half, the new design will also be much more difficult to copy or reproduce (as well as a criminal offense), thus providing increased security to personnel tasked with securing the country's borders.		* An announcement in May 2025 confirmed the Border Security Force (BSF) would follow in the footsteps of the Army and Air Force by adopting its own, distinctive camouflage design.
