ICICIdirect Research 14 Feb 2025 DISCLAIMER

US has offered its latest F-35 fighter stealth fighter jets.

Lockheed Martin, the manufacturer of F-35 aircrafts, is also the one of the bidders in MRFA (Multi Role Fighter Aircrafts) contract of 114 fighter jets and offering its another aircraft F-16 to India. The per unit cost of F-35 fighter could be around USD 110-115 mn (~Rs 950 crore).

As India aims to manufacture its own 5th generation indigenous stealth fighter aircraft like AMCA MK2 (which is expected to be inducted by 2034), this remains to be seen how both the countries will agree on manufacturing and procurement process

As per the delivery schedule of F-35 from Lockheed Martin, the average delivery period is more than 5-6 years
