India Advances Quantum Technology with Rs 150 Crore Support and NM-ICPS 2.0 Plans
India is advancing its quantum technology capabilities through significant government initiatives. The Technology Development Board has committed Rs 150 crore to Bengaluru-based QNu Labs for developing indigenous quantum-secure communication and sensing technologies as part of a Rs 300 crore project. Concurrently, the Department of Science and Technology is preparing for the second phase of the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS 2.0), aiming to enhance quantum-resilient encryption and integrate physical AI. These efforts reflect India's goal to lead quantum technology development among Global South countries.
