Implementation Roadmap

Phases, timelines and milestones — from foundation in 2025 to a self-sustaining model and global leadership by 2030.

The three phases at a glance

1

Phase I · 2025–2026

Foundation & priority domains

Objective: Establish core infrastructure, launch high-impact projects, and train initial cohorts.

2

Phase II · 2027–2028

Expansion & integration

Objective: Scale operations to all 28 domains, integrate international partnerships, and refine policies.

3

Phase III · 2029–2030

Sustained operations & innovation

Objective: Achieve full operational capacity and transition to a self-sustaining model.

Phase I · 2025–2026

Key financial targets

Budget and funding mix by phase
MetricPhase I (2025–2026)Phase III (2029–2030)
Total Annual Budget₹500 Cr₹1,200 Cr
Government Grants₹350 Cr (70%)₹600 Cr (50%)
Revenue Generation₹50 Cr (10%)₹600 Cr (50%)

Note. The figures above are hypothetical examples for illustrative purposes only. They demonstrate the intended funding ratio and scalability model, where government grants dominate initial phases while revenue generation scales over time. Actual figures depend on policy approvals, market conditions, and operational outcomes.

Budget allocation examples

For illustration purposes only.

Phase I · 2025–2026

Hypothetical scenario

  • Government grants: ₹350 Cr (70% of ₹500 Cr)
  • CSR / private investment: ₹100 Cr (20%)
  • Revenue generation: ₹50 Cr (10%)

Phase III · 2029–2030

Hypothetical scenario

  • Government grants: ₹600 Cr (50% of ₹1,200 Cr)
  • Revenue generation: ₹600 Cr (50%)
  • CSR / private investment: ₹300 Cr (25% of a larger budget pool)

Scalability rationale

  • Phase I — heavy reliance on government grants (70%) to establish infrastructure and credibility.
  • Phase III — balanced funding (50% grants + 50% revenue) ensures long-term sustainability.
  • CSR / private investment — grows proportionally to support high-potential startups and tech adoption.
