At the Maharashtra MSME Defence Expo, Larsen & Toubro (L&T) announced significant progress on its light tank project for the Indian Army. Jayant D. Patil, Advisor to CMD, L&T, revealed that the concept has been realized and is currently undergoing trials.
Developed in collaboration with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), the light tank marks a milestone in Indian defense innovation. “Each one of us could do it independently, but it would have taken a long time,” Patil stated. “By coming together, this became the world’s first battle tank from concept to building and getting in trials in a record 19 months.”
The project is expected to accelerate further, with the tank anticipated to enter higher levels of involvement and Army trials by this summer. “We are currently maturing the tanks through multiple trials, building their reliability through a lot of running,” Patil added.
