Process for obtaining Cabinet Committee on Security’s (CCS) approval for design and prototype development of Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) has been initiated.

5^th Generation fighter aircraft, due to very special features, are costlier than 4^th Generation fighter aircraft. Since AMCA is an indigenous 5^th Generation aircraft, it is less costlier than similar aircraft available outside.

This information was given by Raksha Rajya Mantri Shri Ajay Bhatt in a written reply to Smt Shanta Chhetri in Rajya Sabha on March 14, 2022.
