Zen Technologies Wins Rs 1.08 Billion Tank Simulator Order

28 Nov 2025 CW Team

Zen Technologies has secured a significant contract worth Rs 1.08 billion, inclusive of GST, from the Ministry of Defence for the supply of tank crew gunnery training simulators.

Commenting on the development, Ashok Atluri, Chairman and Managing Director of Zen Technologies, said the order represents far more than business expansion—it validates the company’s long-term investment in indigenous research and development. He noted that the firm supplied its first tank simulators to the Indian Army over a decade ago, at a time when procurement systems did not adequately support single indigenous vendors.

He added that this latest order demonstrates what is achievable when policy protects genuine Indian intellectual property. Referring to a TERI study, Atluri said that even a 15 per cent penetration of crew gunnery simulators could save the armed forces Rs 11.23 billion annually, delivering an 18:1 return on an investment of Rs 610 million. He emphasised that these simulators are not merely training tools but force multipliers that free up resources for capability building.

He also highlighted that Operation Sindoor served as a reminder of the importance of procurement speed, stressing that rapid deployment of indigenous solutions directly contributes to strengthening national defence.
