Is Zorawar chassis design good for, and possibly can be converted into an IFV with the relevant changes?

My base assumption is that this is way heavier than even your German tracked IFVs so weight has to be reduced

25 - 30 tons is the weight AFAIK.

I guess they will have to reduce it then so that it "doesn't sink in the sands of the Thar".

I was asking because many other countries use a modded tracked IFV chassis for this light tank or sometimes just stick a tank cannon onto a wheeled IFV, was wondering if the other way around were possible instead of DRDO or someone else having to reinvent the wheel for FICV

there is a recent video where the officer who is part of the team that drafted the SQR mentions that the weight is 25 and width of the tracks are because the design takes into account desert terrain.
