TDB Technology Commercialisation Soft Loan
Funds technology commercialisation in India through concessional TDB soft loans and selected equity participation for scalable innovation.
TDB's flagship instrument provides soft loans — repayable at 5% simple interest per annum — covering up to 50% of total project cost. The scheme targets the commercialisation gap: companies that have developed or licensed a technology and need capital to scale manufacturing, build a prototype facility, or bring a product to market.
Eligible recipients are Indian registered companies (including MSMEs, startups, and PSUs) working in technology-intensive sectors. TDB also takes equity stakes in select cases. Applications are evaluated on technical merit, commercial viability, and the company's capacity to repay. There is no published grant component — this is a loan (and occasionally equity) instrument.
Concessional soft loans at 5% interest covering up to 50% of project cost for Indian companies commercialising indigenous or adapted technology.
