This money will be used to help new companies that are working on really advanced science and engineering projects.
The fund is expected to be fully filled by the third quarter of 2026.
So far, more than half of the money has already been promised by rich people and family offices who believe in the potential of deep-tech.
The fund will invest in about 18 to 20 startups, giving them between ₹3 to ₹6 crore initially, and will keep most of the money for future investments.
