If BMC is given (they won't pay for the land it will be given for free) a land in İzmir even with a very rushed tempo and a herculean effort it will take 18 months to just build the building. In reality, it might take more than this. And then comes the part where you procure machinery set-up the production line and qualify the production line. Huge work indeed. The national powerpack also won't fit in the calendar of the project.
The engine is in bench tests but the transmission is still not on the bench and never powered on. That means the engine and transmission calendar is different. They have to be tested together and proved to work together to be a powerpack. To do that the transmission has to complete bench tests first alone than with the engine coupled to it but the transmission is never powered up and never put on a bench. After successful completion of the complete powerpack tests, BMC will mount them on the Altay tank and start mobility tests.
There is no way all of this will happen till 2023.
