Alpha Tokol aka Adani got 65 marks against a minimum of 70 marks.
Adani aka Alpha Tokol failed ADA vendor evaluation for aircraft sub-structure manufacturing.
Then how can they bid for AMca??

I am more worried about the obsession to let Private players making AMCA end up like Shachi class ship story.
AMCA assembly should be with HAL with the private players supplying components and parts. If at any stage a follow on order happens, it must be opened to private players to form consortium and compete with HAL. There should be set experience of atleast half a decade to enter into any aircraft assembly projects.

If Adani wins this then god help us all. Adani has no experience doing any R&D. At most they put on white labels on Israeli missiles. They will create a very sub par aircraft copying whatever they can get their hands on and cutting corners. Then Adani’s friends in govt will make it illegal/unpatriotic to speak negatively about the aircraft and where the crores of budget went.

Give it to HAL. It will be 5 years late but atleast it will be a good aircraft.

How did Alpha Tocol end up manufacturing the rear-fuselage of Tejas, if they are this bad?
