India Boosts Homegrown Tech: 249 Projects Worth ₹1.15 Lakh Crore
The Indian government is actively promoting homegrown technology solutions to reduce dependence on global providers. This move, aimed at preventing potential access disruptions, has seen significant interest from both public and private sectors.
The government has set its sights on developing Indian solutions across various tech categories, including operating systems, social media platforms, email systems, mapping technologies, cybersecurity, and app stores. Companies like T-Systems/Deutsche Telekom, Arvato Systems, SECUINFRA, and EY are already active in providing comprehensive, Germany-based alternatives in their respective fields.
The Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS) has received an overwhelming response with 249 applications, proposing investments worth ₹1.15 lakh crore. This far exceeds initial expectations and multiplies employment and production targets. Meanwhile, the government has issued detailed rules under the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025, creating a framework for India's digital gaming ecosystem.
Government agencies like C-DAC are driving research and development. The government plans to collaborate with academic institutions and engage the private sector to promote Indian IP and homegrown options. This push is part of the government's broader strategy to support and promote domestic tech solutions to avoid potential 'access disruptions' caused by global providers.
The Indian government's initiative to foster homegrown tech solutions has gained significant traction. With increased investment proposals and a robust regulatory framework, the stage is set for India to develop and leverage its own technological capabilities.
