Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Friday laid the foundation stone for the Rs 15,803-crore Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) infrastructure project in Andhra Pradesh’s Sri Sathya Sai district, marking a major step in India’s push towards self-reliance in defence manufacturing.
Describing the occasion as a landmark moment, Singh said the project marked “a historic chapter in India’s defence history” and signalled the beginning of a new era for Andhra Pradesh’s industrial and defence ecosystem.
