Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has entered into a strategic partnership with Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) to support the Indian Air Force's Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) programme.
The consortium plans to respond to the Government of India's Expression of Interest in the coming weeks.
This collaboration combines L&T's expertise in developing strategic defence and aerospace platforms with BEL's experience in defence electronics and systems, the company said.
The aim is to contribute to India's fifth-generation fighter aircraft initiative, aligning with the government's vision for an ' Atmanirbhar Bharat'.
Both companies have previously played pivotal roles in India's indigenous Light Combat Aircraft programme, supplying major aero-structure modules and developing mission-critical avionics and electronic systems. Building on this legacy, the partnership seeks to deliver a cutting-edge, high-quality solution for the Indian Air Force.
L&T and BEL shares were trading at Rs 3678.10 (up 0.54%) and Rs 402.05 (down 0.54%) apiece on the BSE as of 10.15 AM.
S N Subrahmanyan, Chairman & Managing Director, L&T, also noted that the partnership will be important in promoting self-reliance.
“The collaboration with BEL marks a significant leap in our commitment to the modernisation of India's defence capabilities. We are honoured to be working with BEL to deliver next-generation technologies for the Indian Air Force. Both the organisations are leaders in our respective domains and our combined efforts will play a crucial role in bolstering national security and advancing self-reliance in defence technologies,” he said.
Manoj Jain, Chairman & Managing Director, Bharat Electronics Limited, said that the said AMCA project represents India’s growing capabilities in defence technology.
He added, "Our collaboration with L&T is a crucial step in realising this vision. With L&T’s engineering and systems integration capabilities and BEL’s expertise in defence electronics, we are confident of delivering a world-class solution that will serve the Indian Air Force for decades to come”.
