The Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) has extended the deadline for bids on the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) project to 30th September 2025, following a lack of submissions from private vendor consortia. This extension aims to enhance participation in a crucial initiative designed to bolster India’s indigenous combat aircraft capabilities. By fostering collaboration with private vendors, ADA demonstrates its commitment to ensuring the project moves forward effectively. The absence of initial bids underscores the need for heightened engagement with the defense industry, and this revised timeline offers a renewed opportunity for interested parties to contribute to India’s defense modernization efforts.
