The deadline for Indian defence majors to submit bids for the indigenous fifth-generation fighter aircraft, Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft, has been extended to October 30, 2026
The deadline for Indian defence companies to submit bids for the indigenous fifth-generation fighter jet, the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA), has been extended by two months. The original deadline of August 27, 2026, has been pushed to October 30, 2026. This extension was announced by the Aeronautical Development Agency after some prospective bidders requested additional time to prepare their proposals.
The bidding process will now commence on October 31, a day after the revised submission deadline. The bidding companies include Larsen & Toubro-Bharat Electronics Limited, Tata Advanced Systems, and Bharat Forge in partnership with BEML. The AMCA program aims to develop India's first indigenous fifth-generation fighter aircraft, equipped with advanced stealth, sensor fusion, and network-centric warfare capabilities.
