India’s Defense Research and Development Authority (DRDO) has unveiled a light battle tank.
It is jointly developed with Larsen & Toubro (L&T) Limited. The tank is designed and made ready for trials in the record time of two years
Zorawar is expected to be operationally deployed by 2027 after extensive testing.
The tank is named after 19th-century Dogra General Zorawar Singh, who led the armed operations in Ladakh and Western Tibet.
The project comes under the ‘Make-I’ acquisition category of the Defense Acquisition Procedure (DAP)-2020, in line with the "Make in India" initiative.
On 16 September 2022, it was confirmed that Larsen & Toubro had been selected as the development partner of this homegrown "mountain tank" which is to be rolled out by 2023.
The concept of this tank was unveiled at DefExpo 2022, and as per latest reports, the Indian Army may induct close to 700 units of this tank.
