The Madras Regiment is the oldest infantry regiment of the Indian Army. It was raised in 1758 as the Coast Sepoys by the British East India Company.
The Madras Regiment’s history predates most other regiments and traces its lineage back to the forces raised for the protection of the Company’s interests in South India.
