Felt obliged to post an update regarding this & the accompanied assertions: CVRDE has recently issued RFIs seeking partners for a new 1500 HP engine & transmission. The powerpack, named CV1500A, is confirmed to have a T-type config (longitudinal engine, transverse transmission).

The 1500 hp powerpack is a U-shape config. Won't fit in an Arjun engine bay without redesign. Some mod might be done in the test vehicles, but how long does that take from there to production Mk.1As, if at all, is anyone's guess. That is why, imo, the old setup might stay.
