The Andhra Pradesh government will host a significant event on May 15, 2026, in Puttaparthi, Sri Sathya Sai district, to lay the foundation stone for the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) infrastructure. This ceremony will be presided over by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu. The event will also mark the launch of various defence manufacturing projects, including missiles and ammunition, which are part of India's push towards self-reliance in defence technology under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative. The AMCA programme represents India's indigenous fifth-generation stealth fighter development, showcasing the country's commitment to advanced aerospace innovation. Alongside the foundation-laying, an exhibition will display technology and models related to the AMCA, further highlighting Andhra Pradesh's ambition to be a national hub for defence manufacturing and aerospace. The investments from these projects are expected to create numerous job opportunities and strengthen the state's industrial landscape.
