Startups Support

Spearheading the innovations under ‘Make in India’ program, the Technology Development Fund (TDF) Scheme of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) promulgates the development of defence and dual-use systems, subsystems, Components or technologies, for a product that is Indian Designed, Developed and manufactured (IDDM). The idea is mainly to promote Micro, small, Medium Enterprises (MSME) including Start-Ups to develop innovative products for our forces. DRDO looks forward to technically competent companies with futuristic ideas and vision for marching ahead in the service of the proud Nation.
