It was IA that wanted the change in the middle of trials, this program has always had it's requirements changed by the user.
This isnt the DRDO's choice, first they wanted all these changes on mark 1 that added weight, then in the middle of mark 2's trials they want more weight reduction.
IA never has these type of requirements for foreign OEMs. 50 tons is an error made by the outlet. 62 tons is probably what it is.
With that said, DRDO labs are gaining extensive experience armored development, which will be used in FRCV, FICV, etc. Some of it is being used in T90, 72.
That is the problem. It is all about making money for DRDO. In doing so, they screwed the national interest bigtime. After 40 years in the making, they are still gaining extensive experience.
Unreal!
