Zorawar Light Tank

In future, Is there any possibility we could retrofit this tank with the datran(or any other engine) that CVRDE is developing. I know datran is 1500HP and might be overkill, but perhaps a lower HP variant.

As another member said that uprated 1000hp v-46 is under proposal for t-72, that is good enough, but it should fit into the chassis. If licencing fees of V46 is too much, better downsize the CVRDE engine.

Does anyone know which UAS is being selected for Zorawar? Anyway, happy that India didn't select Sprut. The same approach should have been selected for stryker.
 
India has unveiled a prototype of the new light tank Zorawar, it is designed in accordance with the requirements of the Indian Army for high-altitude areas. The developer of the tank was the Defense Research and Development Organization and Larsen and Toubro. The tank was created as a response to the Chinese Type 15 (ZTQ-15) light tanks deployed on the border with India. Previously, India considered the possibility of purchasing the Russian Sprut-SDM1 light tank, more about it in the link to the video in the comments to the video, but in the end it decided to develop its own tank. Reportedly, the experience of the conflict in Ukraine was taken into account when developing the tank. The tank weighs only 25 tons, which allows it to operate in difficult mountainous terrain. The armament of the Zorawar tank consists of a Cockerill 3105 combat module with a 105 mm cannon from the Belgian company John Cockerill and a 12.7 mm machine gun. It is alleged that modular armor is used as protection, as well as active protection systems. The hull of the K-9 Vajra self-propelled gun may be used as a base for the tank. The Indian Army has already placed an order for 59 Zorawar tanks, and plans to purchase a total of 354 light tanks in the future.
