- S.O. 1860(E) dated 13 April 2026
1860(E) dated 13 April 2026 the Ministry of Commerce and Industry notified the Startup India Fund of Funds 2.0 with a total corpus of Rs 10,000 crore to mobilise venture capital for the startup ecosystem. The scheme comes into force from the date of the notification, with commitments to SEBI-registered Alternative Investment Funds spread over the 16th and 17th Finance Commission cycles. Priority segments are deep tech startups, early growth stage startups backed by smaller AIFs, technology-driven and innovative manufacturing startups, and sector or stage agnostic funds. SIDBI is the initial Implementation Agency.
This is a fund-of-funds: capital goes to AIFs, not directly to startups, so a startup accesses it by raising from a participating AIF. Corroborated by PIB release PRID 2251638 of 13 April 2026.
