News India Live, Digital Desk: Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal AP Singh expressed deep concern over the continuous delay in defense projects on May 29, 2025 (Thursday) and said that the reason for this is unrealistic deadline, which compromises on operational preparations.
CII annual trade Speaking at the summit 2025, Singh, while pointing to repeated delays in major programs like aircraft delivery schedule, criticized the tendency to determine irreplaceable deadline. His comment came after a ongoing investigation into delay in projects like Tejas.
Air Chief Marshal Singh quoted as saying, “Indian Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh says,” The deadline is a big issue. Therefore, once the deadline is given, not a single project is completed on time. So we have to look at it. ” He further said, “Why should we make a promise that cannot be fulfilled?” When signing the contract, sometimes we are sure that it is not going to happen. But we sign the contract. Then the process deteriorates. “
Highlighting the military achievements, Singh described Operation Sindoor – Pakistan and Pakistan -occupied Kashmir as a historic moment on nine terrorist camps in Kashmir -occupied Kashmir, said ANI.
He said, “I want to put on record that the operation that we are talking about is a national victory.

We all have to ensure that our group is not weak group, due to which this series breaks down. And this is emphasized: if I am trying to break this system, even if I am trying to be sufficiently, then I am trying to be sufficiently, then I am trying to do so much. Trying to be strong, trying to be enough in that game or at least know where the deficiencies are and improve that system. ”
He also described the approval of private industry participation in the advanced medium fighter aircraft (AMCA) project as a milestone. Singh said, “AMCA (advanced medium fighter aircraft) has also been approved for the participation of private industry, which is a very big step and today the country has similar confidence in private industry and I am sure that it will pave the way for big things in the future.”
Underlining the need for more indigenization in the defense sector, the Air Force Chief said: “We cannot only talk about production in India. We have to start designing and development in India itself…
