DRDO developed 1500hp engine for Arjun MK2 tanks..A collective weight reduction exercises for Arjun mk2 has been going on for the past 4 years overseen by IA's Director General of Mechanised involving the DRDO, MOD owned DPSU and private sector OEM. This will result in (if succeeded) a fully loaded 60 tonnes MBT armed with a 120 mm smooth bore cannon with an improved 1,400 hp powerplant.
This is actually a 2000hp engine and will be tuned up for 1500hp for better and longer life..
