The Scheme for Enhancement of Competitiveness in the Indian Capital Goods Sector aims to bring together Industry and Academia to jointly work together to address the critical R&D and technology gaps. This is a demand driven scheme in which, Industry in partnership with eminent Academic/Research Institutes proposes projects seeking government funding. The idea is to foster long term relationships between Industry and Academic Universities to create an environment for the critical R&D.The details of the projects sanctioned along with Academic/Research Institutes under the Phase- II of the Scheme and quantum of funds sanctioned are placed at Annexure.
