Since AMCA is an indigenous 5th Generation aircraft, it is less costlier than similar aircraft available outside.

For design and construction of fleet support vessels, Hindustan Shipyard Limited (HSL) has entered into a collaborator contract as per extant procurement procedures. Presently, the case is at advanced stage of negotiations.
