The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has unveiled the prototype of India's indigenous light tank, Zorawar, which is set to undergo extensive trials.

  • It was jointly developed by DRDO and Larsen & Toubro (L&T) with contributions from various Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises.
  • The need for a light tank (weighing maximum 25 tonnes) emerged during the 2020 standoff with China in Eastern Ladakh, highlighting the requirement for lightweight, easily deployable tanks.
  • The light tank's design ensures it can be transported by air, fire at high angles, and perform limited artillery roles, enhancing tactical and operational mobility.
