In a major step toward strengthening India’s self-reliance in defense and aerospace, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh has approved the execution model for the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) program. This indigenous fifth-generation stealth fighter jet project will be spearheaded by the Aeronautical Development Agency in collaboration with both public and private sector partners.
Designed to boost India’s defense capabilities and reduce reliance on foreign technology, the AMCA will feature stealth technology, advanced avionics, and superior air dominance features. The program is expected to energize India’s domestic aerospace ecosystem, foster innovation, and generate large-scale employment through both direct manufacturing and supply chain networks.
