The Delhi government has unveiled the Delhi Startup Policy 2025, aiming to position the national capital as India’s premier startup destination by 2035.
At the heart of this initiative is a ₹200-crore venture capital fund to support early-stage startups in key sectors such as healthcare, fintech, artificial intelligence, robotics, and green technology. The policy also provides reimbursements for co-working space leases, patent filings, and exhibition participation, along with a monthly operational allowance of ₹2 lakh for one year for qualifying startups.
The policy is designed to be inclusive, offering enhanced benefits for women-led startups and ventures from marginalised communities. A digital portal will serve as a one-stop platform for startup registration, applying for incentives, mentorship programs, and grievance redressal.
The Department of Industries will oversee the implementation, supported by a Startup Policy Monitoring Committee and a Startup Task Force to ensure accountability and progress.
Entrepreneurs and industry experts are encouraged to provide feedback on the draft policy until September 3, 2025. The government’s goal is to create a supportive ecosystem for innovation and entrepreneurship, aligning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of transforming India into a “startup superpower.”
In addition to financial incentives, the policy emphasizes skill development and mentoring. Selected startups will have access to training programs, workshops, and incubation centers across the city. These measures aim to help founders scale their businesses effectively, while creating new job opportunities for local talent in emerging technology sectors.
Industry analysts have welcomed the initiative, noting that Delhi has traditionally lagged behind other startup hubs like Bengaluru and Mumbai. By offering structured funding, mentorship, and infrastructure support, the Delhi government hopes to attract more startups, venture capital, and innovation-driven enterprises, ultimately turning the capital into a vibrant ecosystem for entrepreneurship.
