Indian LCH by Hindustan Aeronautics

The vehicle is a major upgrade to an earlier model.  The second prototype has now flown, and some of the test points are listed in the link below.  The work is typical of a vehicle at this stage of flight test, but what is a surprise is that the aircraft is actually getting lighter.  Not only that, it is also apparently exceeding specs regarding payload capacity.  What does HAL understand that is so hard for the rest of us?
