Startup grants in Delhi are shaped by the Delhi Start-up and Incubation Policy approved by the state cabinet in July 2026, which commits more than ₹400 crore over five years, largely to incubation centres in state universities, government-aided colleges and polytechnics. Per-startup grant amounts have not been published, so none are listed here. Delhi-based founders can meanwhile apply to the central schemes, national incubators and accelerators listed across this site.
