Six years overdue, Army begins first full overhaul of indigenous Arjun tanks

The Army has started rebuilding its Arjun tanks after a significant delay. Two Mk-1 tanks will receive upgrades and serve as a pilot program. This overhaul aims to improve the remaining 124 tanks in the fleet. The Arjun Mk-1A program faces delivery delays due to engine supply issues. India's defense production faces persistent challenges despite self-reliance efforts.
