National interest is American propaganda site which lives on sensationalist headlines on the other hand army's mechanised regiment procurement is lethargic at best

Well, Arjun is quite a shitty design to be honest.

Tbh u can't build a proper tank until u make a proper engine.
Thats the heart of the tank and everything else is secondary.
Same with Air force and navy as well, most of the critical technology isn't produced in house.
It's as if just making Chassis of Weapons is enough for them to be indigenous.

Nonetheless it must start somewhere.

Why our private players such as Tata and Mahindra are not making engine for tanks? Because they are making car and truck engine for a long time. And Tata even have it's total indigenous one's too.
I seriously think that we have capabilities to build tank engine but it's only possible if army leaves Russian vodka and start moving towards Indian butter chicken.
With 110 tank order no one is going to start a engine manufacturing plant.

Tata can they have made 1000 hp diesel engine but Mahindra can't the most powerful engine that mahindra made is 150 hp only.
Any automobile company can make complex engines by setting up a dedicated R&D team but they will need govemenet investment and surity with R&D inputs.

A tank engine project could cost several million in initial R&D stage if done properly.


Some companies that make tank engine for ameirca.

Honeywell
Textron which includes subsidiaries like Artic cat, Lyncoming, Bell helicopter, Cessna etc etc


Comapnies from Germany
MTU which is a subsidiary of Rolls Royce holding.

We have our own indigenosu engine but they are upto no good.

They not only move troops, but are also built with a modular architecture that enables them to be altered to suit a particular mission.association with the Indian Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) which has funded the development cost. The Kestrel weighs 22.5 to 26 tonnes depending on the configuration and it's powered by a Tata Cummins diesel engine that makes 600bhp (608PS)
Picture looks like if we can power krestel then we can also power tank.


(this is Mahindras strongest engine.)

The new MaxxForce® 7.2 is positioned to outperform the competition in three distinct areas- Performance, Reliability and Fuel Economy:

Performance

• The Engine delivers maximum power of 210 hp @ 2200 rpm. Other versions of the engine in higher and lower capacities will be launched in due course.
• With the max torque of 880 N-m at a low speed of 1200-1400 rpm, the engines provide superior lugging power with minimum gear changes, even on steep gradients.

Cheetos & opium sellers have very big mouth about their mighty R&D capabilities . i am sure they can pass of foreign assembled screw drive engine as indigenous like they always do :biggrin2:.

BSNL Has 60% Chinese Dependency’ On Security System

Wants NEWS18 Citing China’s recent order, Lieutenant General Deependra Singh Hooda (retd) on Tuesday said that it was time India replaced foreign hardware, particularly from critical infrastructure. “Two days ago the Chinese administration gave directions that all foreign hardware and software from government office and public institutions be replaced by individual equipment, and this will be done over a period of three years. It is a staggering 30 million pieces of hardware that are going to be taken out of Chinese government system and replaced by the indigenous system,” Lt Gen, who oversaw the 2016 surgical strikes, said at the third edition of News18.com’s Tech and Auto Awards here. The former Northern Army Commander further said that even state-owned telecommunications company, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited or BSNL, has 60% Chinese dependency. “Now we might turn around and say a lot of this is due to commercial interest and may be that is true. But there is also a security aspect that we cannot ignore. And here I find a strange hesitancy in the Indian system to try and at least move towards replacing foreign hardware and software to indigenous products, particularly from critical infrastructure. So BSNL still has 60% Chinese decency. Military communication networks have very large dependency on American Cisco products. I think it’s time that we need to move towards greater indigenisation, and the government has a policy that preference be given to indigenous products in IT. But I think this policy needs much greater strengthening,” he said. Hooda, who was the keynote speaker for this year’s, spoke on ‘India’s Next Battlefield Would Be Cyberspace’, a day after Financial Times reported that Beijing has ordered all government offices and public institutions to remove foreign computer equipment and software within three years. The report stated that that move could hit major US firms including Microsoft, Dell and HP. China’s move comes against the backdrop of the ongoing US-China trade war in which technology has been front and center. Meanwhile, Union Minister for Science and Technology, Harsh Vadhan, who was also present at the event said that he will be in Chennai in a few weeks to lay the foundation stone of Rs 100 crore lithium-ion battery unit, which will be led by Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).
