India invites bids for indigenous stealth fighter jet
India is officially looking for local companies to help build its first-ever indigenous stealth fighter, the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA).
This move is all about boosting the Indian Air Force with next-gen tech and cutting down on foreign imports.
The Aeronautical Development Agency wants Indian firms to pitch in on both development and manufacturing.
TL;DR
Bidding open until August 2025
The goal? Get six AMCA squadrons flying by 2035, as cleared by top government officials.
This marks a shift from relying solely on HAL—now big private players like Tata Advanced Systems are likely to join the action.
Bidding is open until August 2025, with the first test flight set for 2029.
It's a major step toward making India's defense industry stronger and more self-reliant.
