They want 1000+ HP either way it’s shocking that Indian OEMs have invested so little in their engines and now with ICE being phased out in the PV sector it’s highly unlikely any of them are going to invest deeply in this tech so india will forever be dependant on foreign solutions for these...

It’s confirmed the German MTU engine is is out Cumins is in, of course this is going to lead to a substantial delay for re-design and integration (not to mention contract talks and deliveries of the engines themselves) Entire project is 1-2 years delayed before it’s even started, project...

7 regiments sanctioned, 1 ear marked for DRDO/L&T, other 6 for local players tied up with foreign OEMs as mentioned above- corporate wars have begun indeed. This is all just a game to satisfy the pockets of the maximum number of foreign players as possible, you couldn’t make a more...

Wait wtf is this? So they are going to split this 350 odd requirement between ~60 for DRDO and 295 for some as yet unknown design from private players? What the hell are these guys smoking? Who will design an entirely new tank for less than 300 units? Why should DRDO invest all this for just 60...
