In preparation for rigorous testing, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) of India has shown the Zorawar prototype, the country's indigenous light tank.
Its development was a collaborative effort between DRDO and Larsen & Toubro (L&T), with input from other MSMEs. The 2020 confrontation with China in Eastern Ladakh brought attention to the necessity for a lightweight tank (weighing no more than 25 tons), emphasizing the importance of tanks that are easily deployable. The 350 light tanks, each weighing less than 25 tons, were requested by the Army in an April 2021 Request for Information (RFI). To improve tactical and operational mobility, the design of the light tank makes it air transportable, allows it to fire at high angles, and gives it limited artillery responsibilities.
