India Clears the Runway for Indigenous Stealth Fighter
Mint Hyderabad
|May 28, 2025
The execution model will offer equal opportunities to both public and private firms
India on Tuesday unveiled its long-awaited plan to fast-track the development of an indigenous fifth-generation stealth fighter, or the advanced medium combat aircraft (AMCA), announcing that the execution model will be competitive and provide equal opportunities to public and private sector firms to participate in one of the country's most significant military projects.
The approval of the industry partnership model by defence minister Rajnath Singh comes at a critical moment as state-run plane maker Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL)—the sole manufacturer of fighter jets in the country—was so far believed to be the front-runner for the prestigious project.
Singh's approval comes weeks after the May 7-10 military confrontation with Pakistan under Operation Sindoor—India's muscular military response to the Pahalgam terror strike. The four-day clash put the spotlight on the Indian Air Force's deep strike capabilities and the role of locally produced weapons and systems.
