India could consider plans to produce a new-generation tank jointly with Russia, the managing director of the BrahMos Aerospace joint venture said on Tuesday.

Sivathanu Pillai said that while the new tank had yet to be developed, it could be built in Russia. He offered no indication of when the project could be launched, however.

Russian experts earlier said Russia and India could launch production of a new tank in the near future.

India currently assembles T-90S main battle tanks under a Russian license.

The T-90S version is in service with the Indian Army, and the local production of T-90S Bhishma tanks started recently in India.

In 2001, India bought 310 T-90S tanks from Russia.

Established in 1998, BrahMos Aerospace designs, produces and markets supersonic missiles, whose sea-based and land-based versions have been successfully tested and put into service with the Indian army and navy.
