India's R&D Challenges and Government Efforts to Boost Deep-Tech Innovation
India ranks 38th in the Global Innovation Index, with R&D spending at 0.6% of GDP, significantly lower than China and Korea. Experts highlight that India's limited private sector investment and policy challenges hinder manufacturing competitiveness, which in turn restricts R&D growth. Recent government initiatives like the Anusandhan National Research Foundation and the Research, Development and Innovation Fund aim to boost deep-tech innovation by funding startups and research labs. However, concerns remain about sustaining national interests amid global competition and ensuring effective private sector participation.
