Delhi Government Revamps Campus Incubation Policy

New Delhi: The Delhi government proposes the Delhi Startup & Incubation Policy 2026 to overhaul campus entrepreneurship support, discussed recently in a stakeholder consultation chaired by Education Minister Ashish Sood. The draft earmarks Rs 325 crore over five years, targets 5,000 startups by 2035, funds incubators across 11 state universities, and ties milestone-based grants to KPIs such as jobs, patents and external funding.
