BEML Limited’s Engine division has achieved a significant breakthrough with the successful completion of the first round of ground trials for India’s first indigenously made 1500 Horsepower (HP) engine for Main Battle Tanks (MBTs).
This marks a major milestone in India’s quest for self-reliance in defence technology. The 1500 HP engine, developed at BEML’s Mysuru complex, performed as expected during the trials, exceeding expectations. Engineers are currently analyzing the collected data to identify potential areas for further optimization.
The next step involves integrating the engine with an older Arjun MBT prototype, which is scheduled for sometime in 2025. This integration will provide valuable insights into the engine’s real-world performance and suitability for deployment.
BEML initiated the project in August 2020 and has meticulously structured it into five key milestones. This meticulous planning ensures timely completion and adherence to the highest quality standards.
