Rajnath Singh Approves AMCA Execution Model via Industry Tie-Up

The first prototype of AMCA is expected to roll out by 2028-29 and production is expected to begin from 2032-33 with induction targeted in 2034, as per officials

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has approved the execution model for the under development indigenous fifth generation fighter jet, the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA), with the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) to execute the programme through industry partnership. Speeding up the development and induction of AMCA has become critical since China has already fielded two fifth gen fighters and is set to supply 40 J-35s to Pakistan, and especially so after the military confrontation under Operation Sindoor.
