What Are Government Startup Grants?
Government startup grants are non-repayable financial subsidies awarded to early-stage, technology-driven, or socially impactful startups. Unlike venture capital or bank loans, grants require zero equity surrender and have no debt obligation.
Institutions like DPIIT, DST, BIRAC, MeitY, and state bodies like the Kerala Startup Mission (KSUM) disburse these funds to accelerate prototype building, proof-of-concept testing, trial manufacturing, and market-entry validation.
What Grant Funds Can Be Used For:
Grant Eligibility Criteria
- DPIIT Recognized Startup status
- Private Limited Company or LLP structure
- Incorporated within the last 10 years
- Original innovative concept or tech innovation
- Clear milestone plan with prototype development target
- At least 51% Indian shareholding
