The T-90MS variant has improved electronics and defensive systems compared with the earlier T-90 variants. While retaining the ability to fire missiles like the earlier T-90 versions, the T-90MS features a “new turret weapon station with an upgraded 125mm gun”, according to Rosoboronexport. Another new feature of the T-90MS is a remote-controlled 12.7mm machine gun, which would be useful in urban combat scenarios.

So, with these improvements, Arjun is no longer needed. Arjun with 4 crew has 1 extra crew which drains manpower needlessly and is simply extra bulky wit no benefits to match. Maybe it will fare better in a tank vs tank fight but in realistic scenarios, it is tank vs ATGM, mines, drones etc where T90Mk3 & Arjun fare similarly. So, Arjun likely junked

arjun isnt junked after the 114 order book completed a mk2 which is under dev with 6-7 tonne lighter weight is to be introduced if not inducted its tech will go the the fmbt and problem with arjun is the engine and all which we cant manufacture so we are screwed if supply is stopped like it is now by mtu .The indigenous engine would go much better in p/wt ratios with 100 extra bhp and torque too but thats also some years away
