The Ministry of Defence has shortlisted the consortia of Larsen & Toubro-Bharat Electronics Limited, Tata Advanced Systems, and Bharat Forge in partnership with BEML for the ambitious indigenous fifth-generation fighter aircraft programme.
The Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) project will be designed as a twin-engine stealth fighter. The aircraft will feature advanced sensor fusion, internal weapons bays, artificial intelligence-enabled systems, and network-centric warfare capability. It is expected to form the backbone of the Indian Air Force’s combat capability from the mid-2030s.
