The HAL AMCA (Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft) is an ambitious project undertaken by the Indian Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL). Designed to be a fifth-generation, twin-engine stealth fighter, the HAL AMCA aims to strengthen India's indigenous defense capabilities. With its sleek aerodynamic design and advanced technologies, the AMCA promises superior stealth features, advanced avionics, and network-centric warfare capabilities. It is intended to possess a wide range of mission capabilities, including air superiority, ground attack, and electronic warfare. The aircraft will be equipped with advanced sensors, advanced composite materials, and state-of-the-art weapons systems. With the HAL AMCA, India aims to enhance its self-reliance in defense technology and establish itself as a major player in the global aerospace industry.

'Entered service' is defined according to the AMCA's Wikipedia page.

The name that this aircraft enters service under (if indeed it does) will almost certainly not be the AMCA, and this market will apply to the renamed production aircraft.

If there is malarkey such as India licensing another country's aircraft and claiming it is the AMCA, I will make a good faith attempt to unpick the situation and resolve in the spirit of the question. The spirit of the question is that the AMCA is a domestically developed aircraft. India could change the design substantially and it would still be the AMCA, if they say so. If, however, India announces that it is abandoning the AMCA and pursuing a different domestic fifth generation fighter project, this market would resolve NO and I would create a new one for said new project.
