Electronics Development Fund (EDF):

Electronics Design & Manufacturing is a sector which is characterized by high velocity of technological change. Intellectual Property is possibly the most critical determinant of success, not only for the companies of this sector but also to the countries and economies as a whole. Setting up of EDF was one of the important strategies which would enable creating an electronics industry ecosystem in the country. Creating a vibrant ecosystem of innovation, Research and Development (R&D) with active industry involvement is essential for a thriving electronics industry. It is with this objective that an Electronics Development Fund (EDF) is set up as a “Fund of Funds” to participate in professionally managed “Daughter Funds” which in turn will provide risk capital to companies developing new technologies in the area of Electronics, Nano-electronics and Information Technology (IT). This fund is expected to foster R&D and innovation in these technology sectors. EDF enables creation of an ecosystem for providing risk capital to both industry and academia to undertake Research and Development in these technology areas. It will, in the process, enrich the intellectual property in the country and encourage more entrepreneurs towards product and technology development.

Canbank Venture Capital Funds Ltd. (CVCFL), a 100% subsidiary of Canara Bank, is the Investment Manager and MeitY is the anchor investor of EDF. EDF was launched on 15.02.2016 by Hon’ble Minister for Electronics & IT. Twenty two Daughter Funds have been selected for investment through EDF. The cumulative commitment of EDF to these 22 Daughter Funds is Rs 1227 crore and the total targeted corpus of these 22 Daughter Funds is around Rs 10,900 crore. Till date EDF has drawn Rs 56.99 crore from its contributors, which includes Rs 51.24 crore from MeitY and has released Rs 34.43 crore to six Daughter Funds, which in turn have made investments of Rs 130 crore in 40 Ventures/Startups. These 40 Ventures have a total Funding of Rs 600 crore approximately. Total Employment in supported Startups is around 3557 (Direct-3001, Indirect-556). Total 44 (11-Granted, 33 Applied) Patents have been created/acquired by the supported Startups.

(IIPME) is a collaborative project between the Ministry

of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and

Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council

(BIRAC), Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of

Science and Technology, Government of India.

The project goal is to fund a portfolio of Indian led pilot projects targeting innovations in multi-disciplinary

areas comprising of electronics, engineering, medical devices, healthcare, software, algorithms &

information technology, to help medical electronics fraternity and to bring in fast pace research and

development in this area. The idea is to provide funding support to applicants for testing their bold ideas,

mentorship from various subject matter experts, networking platforms and an opportunity to scale up

their technology. Under this project support will be provided at Seed, Early transition and transitions to

scale stages.

Seed Grants- This is for funding the projects, which are at initial stages of product development cycle.

These awards do not require preliminary data and are meant to provide an opportunity to test particularly

bold ideas. A grant upto Rs. 50 lakhs for a period of 18 months can be provided in this category.

Early Transition- This category is for projects which have established the proof of concept and require

incremental prototype innovations and validation. These awards are for small risk projects which are at

the early stages of translational research. A mix of grant & loan not exceeding INR 100 lakhs over the

period of 24 months can be provided in this category.

Transition to Scale- The stage is for the projects which have already shown promising data on establishing

the Proof of Concept and has generated enough validation data, these awards require demonstration of

detailed preliminary data and are meant to provide an opportunity to develop, refine, and rigorously test

approaches that have previously shown promise in controlled or limited settings. A mix of grant & loans

for a period of 24 - 36 months is proposed. The project cost would be matched equally by Government

Funds and the industry.

Rapid Milk Analyser:

Keeping in view the need of indigenous equipment to measure the important parameter of Milk, this

Ministry supported the design and development of Milk Analyser. The developed equipment measures fat,

solid non-fats, protein, lactose, water and density in raw milk in very less time (about 35 Seconds). The

developed product works on fusion of Infrared and Ultrasonic based technologies. It is a portable, User

friendly, low cost, auto calibration, chemical free equipment which needs a very small amount of milk

sample for completing the measurement. This product is useful for measuring the quality of milk at milk

collections centre/ chilling centres at villages. By use of this, the villagers may get right price for their milk.

The product could also be used by enforcement agencies. The developed technology has been transferred

to M/s Rajasthan Electronics and Instrumentation Ltd. for Commercialization.
