DPIIT Gazette Notification Formally Births 'Deep Tech Startup' Category — 20-Year Recognition Window & ₹300 Cr Turnover Cap

By ·

India's DPIIT issued Gazette Notification G.S.R. 108(E) on 4 February 2026, replacing the 2019 startup framework and creating a formal 'Deep Tech Startup' category with up to 20 years of recognised startup status and a ₹300 crore turnover ceiling for benefits — double the old 10-year window and 3x the revenue threshold. Founders in AI, semiconductors, biotech, or space building long-gestation products can now retain tax benefits, grants, and regulatory privileges far beyond what the old framework allowed.
