The Government of India is implementing the National Quantum Mission (NQM) with an outlay of Rs.6003.65 crore for a period of eight years. The primary objectives of the National Quantum Mission (NQM) are to develop cutting-edge quantum technologies across quantum computing, quantum communication, quantum sensing-metrology, and quantum materials, and to build a strong national ecosystem spanning R&D, infrastructure, startups, and skilled human resources. Under the Mission, four Thematic Hubs (T-Hubs) have been established in the financial year 2024-25. These hubs have been incorporated as Section-8 Companies by their respective host institutions and have constituted their respective Hub Governing Boards (HGBs) for effective governance and administration. State of art Fabrication and Central facilities are also being established at IISc. Bengaluru, IIT Bombay, IIT Kanpur and IIT Delhi. Funds have been released to all four T-Hubs to initiate their operations. The hubs are now fully functional and are engaged in a range of activities including Technology Development, Human Resource Development, Entrepreneurship Development & Industry Collaboration and International Collaborations. The details of the Thematic Hubs are placed below:
The implementation of National Quantum Mission has broadly three timelines i.e. 3 years, 5 years and 8 years. Following are the key deliverables set under the mission:
The details of the funds allocated and progress made in establishing quantum computing, quantum communication, quantum sensing and quantum materials research infrastructure is placed at Annexure I.
The Government has undertaken a comprehensive assessment of the National Quantum Mission (NQM) with respect to strengthening India's strategic capabilities, technological self-reliance, and global standing in quantum technologies. The Mission has been structured to develop indigenous quantum computing, quantum communication, quantum sensing and quantum materials capabilities; create national-level research infrastructure through Thematic Hubs, including fabrication and centralized facilities; nurture skilled human resources and startups; and foster international collaborations in carefully selected areas. These measures contribute to reducing critical technology dependencies, enhancing secure communication and advanced computation capabilities relevant for strategic sectors, and positioning India as a leading contributor to the global quantum ecosystem.
Annexure I
This Information was submitted by Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Science and Technology Dr. Jitendra Singh in Loksabha on 4th February 2026.
