it took tejas mk 1 , 25 years from this stage

AMCA is taking less risk approach like jf 17, ie using off the shelf technologies

so on average it may take 10 years.

- stealth design
- high thrust engine
- Supercruise and TVC capabilities
- AESA radar
- IRST

None of them is available in India today and don't forget that AMCA is far more difficult to develop because of the stealth requirement. It's not only going from a single engine fighter development to a twin engine fighter development.
 
i meant we are not going by LCA route, more of Dhruv route

where ever we lack, we will buy from other countries

and slowly replace with indigenous ones

Would be great if we do it the Dhruv way, but then we would seek for foreign design and development partners first and not only for a foreign engine. In fact there is not even a single report hinting on joint developments in any field and they don't even change things where they admitted mistakes, the development of the naval version. So all we see so far is the same way they did LCA, except of chosing a foreign engine.
 
GTRE has released a new RFI for designing Fan of Engine which according to some is for AMCA ( 110-120KN ).

DRDO

HAL and ADA have shown the good work in Tejas.

Imported Air Force not letting it clear FOC.

AMCA is an easy job for them with Parrikar as DM.
 
Top defence sources on Wednesday said the preliminary design stage of the futuristic fighter called the advanced medium combat aircraft (AMCA), with collaboration among IAF, DRDO and Aeronautical Development Agency, is now "virtually" over.

"Once the project definition and feasibility is completed in the next few months, the defence ministry will go to the cabinet committee on security for approval. It will require Rs 4,000-5,000 crore for the initial design and development phase," said a source.

The aim is to fly the first twin-engine AMCA prototype by 2023-2024, which will be around the time deliveries of Tejas Mark-II fighters will be underway. IAF is slated to get its first Tejas Mark-I in March this year, over 30 years after the LCA project was first approved in August 1983. But the Tejas Mark-II jets, with more powerful engines, will start to come only by 2021-2022, as was first reported by TOI.

"After Tejas-II, we have to move ahead to a fifth-generation-plus AMCA. Basic design work of AMCA as well as presentations by five to six global aero-engine manufacturers is over. Simulation modelling is also in the works," said the source.
