India is partnering with a French company to develop and produce fighter jet engines domestically, the defence minister said.<\/p>\n

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh in May approved the prototype of a 5th-generation Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA), calling it a “significant push towards enhancing India’s indigenous defence capabilities”.<\/p>\n

Singh, in a speech at a conference in New Delhi on Friday, gave more details about developing fighter jet aircraft engines in the country.<\/p>\n

“We are moving forward to manufacture aircraft engines in India itself,” Singh said, in comments broadcast by Indian media.<\/p>\n

“We are collaborating with a French company to start engine production in India.”<\/p>\n

Singh did not name the company, but Indian media widely reported the company to be Safran, which has been working in India for decades in the aviation and defence sectors.<\/p>\n

There was no immediate confirmation.<\/p>\n

India, one of the world´s largest arms importers, has made the modernisation of its forces a top priority and has made repeated pushes to boost local arms production.<\/p>\n

The world´s most populous nation has deepened defence cooperation with Western countries in recent years, including the Quad alliance with the United States, Japan and Australia.<\/p>\n

India signed in April a multi-billion-dollar deal to purchase 26 Rafale fighter jets from France´s Dassault Aviation.<\/p>\n

It would join 36 Rafale fighters already acquired, and replace the Russian MiG-29K jets.<\/p>\n

Singh has also promised at least $100 billion in fresh domestic military hardware contracts by 2033 to spur local arms production.<\/p>\n

This decade, India has opened an expansive new helicopter factory, launched its first domestically made aircraft carrier, warships and submarines, and conducted a successful long-range hypersonic missile test.<\/p>\n

New Delhi eyes threats from multiple nations, especially Pakistan. India was engaged with its neighbour in a four-day conflict in May, their worst standoff since 1999.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
