Prime Minister Narendra Modi approved the Startup India Fund of Funds (FFS) 2.0 with a corpus of ₹10,000 crore on February 13, 2026. This was among the first major decisions taken by the Prime Minister from his new office complex, Seva Teerth.
Key Details of Startup India Fund of Funds 2.0
The new fund is designed to build upon the success of the original 2016 initiative and focuses on the following:
Focus Areas: Support for early-stage startups, deep-tech research, advanced manufacturing, and breakthrough technologies.
Operational Model: Managed by the Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI), it provides capital to SEBI-registered Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs), which then invest in startups.
Leverage Requirement: AIFs supported by the fund are required to invest at least two times the amount committed by the FFS into startups.
Inclusive Funding: 25% of the corpus is specifically focused on women-led entrepreneurship, and another 25% is mandated for climate action and sustainability.
