The tank will have weight of less than 60 tonnes, carry 4 troops and will feature superior mobility, all terrain ability, multilayered protections, precision and lethal fires, and real-time situational awareness along with artificial intelligence, drone integration, active protection system, network centric operation capabilities. It should be transportable by existing infrastructure of rail, road and aircraft. Around 1,770 units shall be inducted in three phases (approx. 590 each).[230][187][231] The FRCV project is renamed as Project Ranjit as reported in November 2024.[229]

Requirements include an autocannon of at least 30 mm calibre as primary armament, a coaxial machine gun (7.62 mm), Remote-controlled Weapon System (RCWS) with 12.7 mm machine gun and a capacity of 11 personnel. The project was cleared by Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) – the main acquisition panel subordinate to India's MoD – in February 2023.[232][233] DRDO has developed Abhay IFV prototype. Kalyani Strategic Systems, Larsen & Toubro-DRDO, Tata Advanced Systems and Mahindra Defence Systems are expected to develop their prototypes and take part in the programme.[232][234][235] As of November 2024, Army intends to procure 1,700 units initially with a programme cost of ₹40,000 crore (US$Formatting error: invalid input when rounding).[236]
