Background
With the growing fleet of T-59 tanks manufactured by China, the Pakistan Army decided that a
facility to maintain and rebuild the tanks was needed. As a result the Heavy Rebuild Foundry Project
(P-711) was conceived, with Chinese assistance and technology. In the late 1970s the Heavy Rebuild
Factory (HRF) was established in Taxila to undertake rebuild and modernization of tanks.
The capabilities of HRF significantly increased with the growing experience acquired in enhancing
firepower, mobility and protection of various armored vehicles. As a result the facility gradually
became a multi-factory environment and in September 1992 was renamed Heavy Industries Taxila
(HIT).
Today the main activities include manufacture of armored fighting vehicles, armored personnel
carriers and tank guns and in-house manufacture of a wide range of components required. An
infrastructure has been established to enhance interaction with the indigenous industries of
Pakistan, for the development of materials and components.[2]
