Looks massive and capable system... If Russia can assure timely delivery which is doubtful then we should go for this capability....

Depending on how the IA's user trials go, it could theoretically go into production as early as 2025, if a contract is signed by the MoD with L&T for production.

The initial order is for 59 Zorawar light tanks. After which they plan to hold a contest with other light tanks being offered, which will lead to an eventual number of around 350-400 light tanks being procured.
