Amca: The AMCA project

The AMCA project, sanctioned by the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) in March 2024, is set to develop a 25-tonne twin-engine stealth aircraft with advanced features, aiming for a prototype by 2028-29. The partnership between these three companies is expected to offer excellent manufacturing capacity for the AMCA program, as it combines the engineering capabilities of L&T, the electronics and avionics expertise of BEL, and the complex aerostructures and subsystems manufacturing capabilities of Dynamatic Technologies. L&T, BEL, and Dynamatic Technologies unite to develop India's indigenous 5th-gen stealth fighter, AMCA . Boosting defence manufacturing and aerospace self-reliance. In this detailed overview, we break down every major phase in the AMCA development timeline —from its conceptual approval to rollout targets and beyond.
