● Zorawar weighs about 25 tons and is designed specifically for mountainous and high-altitude warfare.
● The altitude trial over 4,200 m demonstrated its mobility, firepower and air-lift capability by the Indian Air Force.
● Phase I of trials was in a desert environment in September 2024, and high-altitude trials followed.
● The project is part of India’s push for indigenous defence capability-building under the Make-in-India initiative.
● Once inducted, it is expected to operate effectively in areas like Ladakh where standard main battle tanks face operational limitations due to terrain and altitude.
