AMCA (Advanced Multirole Combat Aircraft) which is being developed by the ADA (Aeronautical Development Agency) and will be manufactured by HAL and a Private sector company. Two companies have been shortlisted by the HAL for the partnership, which are TATA Aerospace and L&T.  The Government has Accelerated the AMCA after many experts and officials showed concerns over its deadline for mass production in 2036. After Considering all the issues the government and the ADA and DRDO moved the deadline for mass production from 2036 to 2029.  AMCA Mk1 will start mass production till 2029 and the Mk2 will start its mass production in 2036.  India 🇮🇳 is already behind in the race of 5th generation fighters. Where all its Rivals have deployed some kind of 5th Generation fighters, it was important that India fast track its 5.5 generation aircraft program to not fall back.  Soon IAF will be able to operate its own indige

TEJAS

Well It's TEJAS, India's first multirole fighter made for IAF and Navy after the Marut fighter of 60s and 70s. This fighter took to long to get ready which made the IAF and the Navy reconsider their requirements due to change in Warfare scenarios.  This fighter took more than Four decades to get completed and now No one wants to buy it. The Navy has rejected it and the Air force is not ordering it in mass numbers.  If this fighter does not get a proper share in market we could see another era of foreign dependency.           We are still dependent on foreign companies for its various parts which makes up almost 60% of the total aircraft. But its slowly changing the foreign equipment with our indigenous built equipments.      If the TEJAS could become a success this will pave a way for indigenous weapons markets. We are one of the largest weapons importers in the world, but it could change if TEJAS becomes a Success.
