Vinamre KasanaaHOST
Hmm.
Anil ChopraGUEST
So therefore it was decided that AMCA, the fifth generation fighter, Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft, that's going to come to the Air Force and, uh, later on to the Navy, uh, will be handled by a private sector.
Anil ChopraGUEST
So 24 consortiums, you know, pitched for it, out of which three have been shortlisted, one headed by L&T, one by Tata, then one by Bharat Forge.
Vinamre KasanaaHOST
Hmm.
Anil ChopraGUEST
Single comp- company making airplanes.
Anil ChopraGUEST
But now there will be competition.
Anil ChopraGUEST
Uh, the AMCA is the first project.
Anil ChopraGUEST
Before that, we gave C295 to Tatas, uh, to make in India.
Shiv AroorHOST
Angad's been on my show so many times.
Shiv AroorHOST
Over so many years about the AMCA.
Shiv AroorHOST
And here we are again.
Angad SinghGUEST
It's like that scene from Green Mile.
Vishnu SomHOST
We happened to look and we saw stuff.
Angad SinghGUEST
Are you confident about
Vishnu SomHOST
AMCA? No.
Shiv AroorHOST
Hello and welcome.

Sticking to airplanes, Reliance Industries said on Friday it planned to partner with Britain's Rolls-Royce to develop and manufacture an engine for India's fighter jet program.
Govindraj EthirajHOST
A prototype of the jet known as the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft is expected to roll out in two years' time and could play a role in India's future air combat strategy, according to a Reuters report.
Govindraj EthirajHOST
And on energy, the government proposed tightly supervised approval regime for private nuclear power generation, opening the door to foreign reactor technologies with proven track records.
Govindraj EthirajHOST
The Reuters report says that the draft rules and regulations offer the clearest picture yet of how India intends to open a tightly guarded sector to private and foreign investors while retaining control over entry and operations in line with global nuclear markets.
Karan RaoHOST
The goal there is financial transparency, but when it comes to defense technology, the ultimate goal is zero reliance on the outside world, which makes this next corporate partnership absolutely fascinating.
Ayesha MehtaHOST
Reliance Industries has announced a major partnership with Britain's Rolls-Royce to jointly develop and manufacture the engine for India's Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft, or AMCA, stealth fighter jet.
Ayesha MehtaHOST
According to Reuters, they are looking to establish a dedicated aerospace gas turbine complex right in India, aiming to roll out the prototype by twenty twenty-eight.
Karan RaoHOST
We cannot overstate how difficult this is.
Nagesh KapoorGUEST
And, you know, you play along with the development process, definitely.
Nagesh KapoorGUEST
But I am firmly of the opinion that in case that was to continue to be the model for HL to continue to develop their capabilities, they must simultaneously devote adequate or more than adequate effort to bring up the AMCA now and not wait.
Nagesh KapoorGUEST
I mean, we cannot afford for the spiral to spiral upwards into an AMCA and then the AMCA develop, I mean, a spiral upwards into Gen 6 or something like that.
Vishnu SomHOST
No, and so we are stuck without a stealth option immediately available.
Vishnu SomHOST
AMCA, other than the SU-57, the AMCA is nowhere at the moment.
Vishnu SomHOST
I mean, it has to be built up.
Vishnu SomHOST
So is the SU-57 the way forward for us in the absence of anything else? Because F-35s clearly don't work for us because we've got the S-400.
Shiv AroorHOST
Where does...
