India's state-run Bharat Earth Movers Limited (BEML) has entered into a licence agreement for the transfer of technology (ToT) with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) for the development and supply of trawl assembly for T-72 and T-90 main battle tanks (MBTs).

BEML has signed an agreement with the Research And Development Establishment Engineers unit of DRDO at the Aero India 2023 show, which is being held in Bangalore from 13 to 17 February.

A BEML official told Janes that the trawl is a mine-breaching equipment attached to the front side of the tank. “Trawl assembly consists of two parts, which are trawl roller and track width mine plough (TWMP). Both the parts can be used together or independently, depending on the requirement,” the official said.
