Defining Moment to boost R&D ecosystem: ₹1 Lakh Crore RDI Fund Launched The Government of India, led by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, has launched the ₹1 lakh crore Research, Development, and Innovation (RDI) Scheme Fund at the Emerging Science, Technology and Innovation Conference (#ESTIC2025). India DST is the nodal ministry of the #RDIFund that will operate through a two-tiered funding structure. India Electronics and Semiconductor Association applauds the visionary initiative that will significantly strengthen India’s innovation ecosystem and empower the private sector to lead cutting-edge R&D across high-impact domains, including #Semiconductors and #AdvancedElectronics. For the semiconductor sector, this fund represents a crucial catalyst to drive indigenous research, design-led manufacturing, and #TechnologyDevelopment — helping India move from being a major consumer to becoming a global innovator and producer. Speaking about the fund, the Prime Minister added, "This Rs 1 lakh crore is for you. It is to increase your capabilities. It is to open new opportunities for you. Our effort is to promote research and development in the private sector as well. For the first time, capital is also being made available for high-risk and high-impact projects." At the first level, a #SpecialPurposeFund (SPF) will be established within the Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF) which will serve as the custodian of the ₹1 lakh crore corpus. The Fund will not directly invest in industries and start ups but will channel capital to second-level fund managers, who can be #AlternativeInvestmentFunds (AIF), #DevelopmentFinanceInstitutions (DFI), Non-banking Finance Companies (NBFCs), among others. IESA will continue to play an active role in facilitating collaboration between government (#DST/ #ANRF, #MeitY), industry, academia and SPF ensuring that this historic initiative translates into impactful outcomes across the semiconductor and electronics value chain. With platforms like #ESTIC2025, India is steadily advancing towards the vision of #ViksitBharat2047 — where science, technology, and innovation drive inclusive and sustainable growth.
