The Haryana government announced a ₹147 crore fund to support startups, with enhanced incentives for ventures led by women.
The Haryana government has unveiled a new initiative to inject ₹147 crore into the state’s startup ecosystem, aiming to spur innovation and job creation. The fund will be channeled through the Haryana Startup Policy and will target early‑stage companies across technology, health, and agritech sectors.
A key feature of the scheme is a significant increase in incentives for women‑led startups. Eligible firms will receive higher tax rebates, easier access to credit, and priority in state‑run procurement processes. The move is part of a broader strategy to promote gender diversity in entrepreneurship.
The Ministry of Science and Technology will oversee the allocation, while the Department of Industries will monitor compliance and progress. Startups can apply through an online portal, with a review cycle of 45 days.
Industry experts predict that the additional support could help Haryana become a competitive hub for female entrepreneurs, potentially attracting investment from national and international players.
