MAHA MedTech Mission

Funds Indian MedTech product development with grants of Rs 5-25 crore.

The Mission is run by the Anusandhan National Research Foundation with the Indian Council of Medical Research and the Gates Foundation, funding a combined outlay of seven hundred and fifty crore rupees across roughly fifty projects. Applicants start with a Concept Note, evaluated by a Technical Advisory Group on technical merit, public-health and economic impact, the development approach, and team

The Mission funds medical devices and in-vitro diagnostics -- including diagnostic and therapeutic equipment, implants and assistive devices, consumables, surgical tools, software as a medical device, and critical subcomponents -- that already have a working, tested prototype. Therapeutics, vaccines, and broader digital-health tools aimed at wellness, lifestyle or administration fall outside the current call. Where a project seeks direct financial support as a private-sector company, priority sits with technologies addressing communicable diseases and women's and children's health and nutrition.
