In the year 1971, the Battalion was declared an India Reserve Battalion, centrally sponsored by the Government of India, and was subsequently deployed to different regions, including Gujarat, West Bengal, and Uttar Pradesh.

In October 1971, the Battalion was dispatched to Nagaland for the Naga Operation under the supervision of the then-Commandant, Mr. G.S. Gill, with its headquarters established at Maram, Nagaland. The Battalion remained operational in Nagaland until 1973. During this period, under the strategic guidance of the Indian Army, the Battalion played a pivotal role in subduing the Naga insurgents.

In 1974, the Battalion was stationed in the state of Assam to tackle foreign incursions and extremism, with Dispur serving as the Battalion headquarters. Despite facing severe hardships during this tenure, the officers and personnel of the Battalion displayed exemplary character in the fulfillment of their duties.

Subsequently, the Battalion was deployed to Tripura in June 1988, where it served until October 1994. During this tenure, the Battalion initiated effective counter-insurgency actions against rebels and terrorists in the state, earning high commendations from the Government of Tripura.

Notably, during the Tripura Armed Police rebellion of 1991, the Battalion successfully assumed responsibility for securing the Police Armoury and protecting the state’s VIPs. After performing satisfactorily in the sensitive zones of Tripura, the Battalion was stationed in the national capital, Delhi, with its headquarters established at Kingsway Camp. During this period, the companies of the Battalion satisfactorily performed duties related to VIP security and the maintenance of law and order.

In May 1996, the A, B, C, and D companies of the Battalion were deployed for Naxal Operations in the Bastar region under the orders of the Director General of Police, Madhya Pradesh. The remaining two companies and the Battalion headquarters remained stationed in Delhi.

Following this, in October 1996, the Battalion was recalled to its home state of Madhya Pradesh, and its temporary headquarters was set up in Mohani Colony, Shivpuri. In 1997, the temporary headquarters of the Battalion was shifted to Kothi No. 32, Shivpuri.

Concurrently, a formal requisition for land was moved to the Government of Madhya Pradesh. Consequently, 25 hectares of land, situated approximately 8 kilometres from Shivpuri on the Agra-Bombay Highway in Chandrapura Village (comprising Survey Nos. 472/2 and 457/1), was officially allotted for the establishment of the permanent headquarters of the Battalion.
