According to Jane’s Defence Weekly,

Pakistan has enhanced its armour capability through a co-operation agreement with NORINCO and local firm Heavy Industries Taxila (HIT) for a phased MBT development and production programme.

This agreement included upgrading the Chinese Type 59 MBT and progressive manufacturing of Type
69, Type 85, and, more recently, the MBT-2000, also referred to as the Al Khalid.

According to Jane’s Defence Weekly,

Yes we produced them in Pakistan now I am talking about getting them upgraded to 3rd Generation standard that I think we haven't done yet we are all focused on getting Type 59 upgraded to Al-Zaarar we have around 700 Type 85 and Type 69 together if we get them upgraded to 3rd Generation that would give a huge boost to our Tank Force

I would rather say better concentrate only on Al khalid and its future variants.

Also start MRAP's program and other security armoured vehicle projects for para military forces

Is HIT always lacking to produce enough ERA for the Tanks ? The same way, alkhalid, it has only ERA Blocks on the Front side of the turret, comepared to Indian T-90 and upgraded T-72 Tanks, they have better protection.
