Frequently asked questions

What founders ask about this funding combination.

Is ₹50 lakh enough for deeptech R&D?
It funds a meaningful prototype or pilot phase, typically tranched against technical milestones. Larger crore-scale programmes exist for later stages.
Which ministries fund deeptech grants?
DST, MeitY and BIRAC run the core deeptech schemes, with defence-innovation programmes for strategic sectors. See each listing for the source.
Are these grants milestone-based?
Almost always — deeptech funds release against technical milestones rather than as a lump sum, given the long build cycles. Each programme's tranche structure is on its page.
