After a gap of one year, fifty T-90 tanks will be rolled out from India under licensed production following the resolution between India and Russia over the issue of transfer of technology. Indian defence officials have indicated that assurance from Russia has been received regarding the timely execution of defence deals including the T-90 tanks.
Due to the delays in the manufacture of the indigenous Arjun Main Battle Tank, India ordered 310 T-90s in 2001. Of these, 186 were assembled from kits at the Heavy Vehicles Factory at Avadi. An agreement was also signed for the licensed production of another 1,000 T-90s which is yet to begin. The bottleneck has been Russia’s reluctance to transfer technology, prompting India to purchase another 300 tanks from Russia last year.
