The article is in Hindi. But, they most certainly would have weighed him as there would be too much risk of administering continuous anaesthesia for a surgery without weighing him first. It would be too much of a risk. The article has a photo of the operation.
@Rage2277, very true. He outsized T91 by a decent margin in that video.
Does the article say who the vet was onsite?

If I can obtain the Vets info, I'll try to contact him to see if the original weight is correct.
RE: Modern weights and measurements on wild tigers - Ashutosh - 07-25-2020
The video is of T91. He is currently MT1. If you scroll up, @Rishi has posted something from twitter where you see him coming up against T98 aka MT3 and he outsizes MT1.
@Pckts, the article does mention that a Veterinary team from Ranthambore led by Dr. Rajeev Garg performed the 90 minute procedure. DCF T Mohanraj and veterinarian of Mukundra Tiger Reserve Dr. Tejendra Singh were monitoring his recovery.

Yes, he outsizes T98 by a bit, which again makes me think that T98 doesnt have an additional 52kg's of weight to add to that frame.
I'll try to contact the vet next week for more info.
Thanks Ashutosh.

The one on the left side of the fence?
He looks a fair amount large so that's right.
RE: Modern weights and measurements on wild tigers - Ashutosh - 07-25-2020
T91 or Alphonso (because mother was mango mother or T30) in 2017. He is on the right side of the fence.

Better resolution video here. #353
Isn't the bigger one to the left Alphonso?.. He's grown in last 2 years. Came to Mukundara as a 3½year old.
Edit: Oh no no, just matched stripes. The smaller-than-a-4-year-old skinny one on the right is indeed MT-1.

Ivan, an Amur tiger, lost 100 kg between the time of his death and second capture. This loss all happened within a year's time (Oct. 2009 to Jan. 2010). A 52 kg loss is not impossible.

Not impossible but the tiger doesn't look too emaciated so I dont think he's missing 50kg's of weight.
At least fein the images I've seen.

Wait, you have it the other way around. T98 is the big one on the left, on the outside. He outsizes T91, not the other way around.

I wonder if that is a skinned carcass or not?
I ask because his length is short at 65'' but shoulder height is tall at 44'' (could be measured to tip of paw)
A chest girth of 56'' is massive, that's larger than the Sauhara male
Tiger Measurements to compare
Body Length 167cm
Length of Tail 102cm
Girth 144cm
Fore Limb height 113cm
Body Weight 192kg
Canine Length Upper Right 6.1 Left 6.0
Lower Right 5.0 Left 5.2
