India's Reliance Industries and Britain's Rolls-Royce have announced a partnership to jointly design and manufacture engines for India's Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA), a domestically developed fifth-generation stealth multirole fighter jet. The two companies issued a joint statement outlining their intent to deliver a "sovereign indigenous combat engine," though no financial details were disclosed. The deal advances Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "Make in India" defence push, as New Delhi seeks to reduce its longstanding reliance on foreign — particularly Russian — military hardware and build self-sufficient aerospace capabilities.
