Description
Description | The project involves manufacturing the fifth generation Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) with a core integration and advanced flight testing centre being developed on a 650-acre land bank at Puttaparthi, Andhra Pradesh. The Flight Testing Complex will cover 150 acres adjacent to the existing Puttaparthi runway. The project includes extending the runway to 10,000 feet and establishing a dedicated local flying zone with its own Air Traffic Control tower and advanced systems. The Ministry of Defence is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) to shortlisted private sector consortia for manufacturing the AMCA, marking a shift from traditional government-owned manufacturing to private sector partnership. |
