The Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) has successfully conducted the preliminary automotive and firing trials for India’s new light tank, Zorawar.

This tank, capable of deployment in high-altitude operations in regions like Ladakh and the Northeast, was unveiled in July 2024. 

It is developed by DRDO in collaboration with private firm Larsen & Toubro (L&T) .

The Indian Army plans to induct at least 350 Zorawar light tanks once the platform is ready.
