UP Deep-Tech Enhanced Grant Top-Up

Deep-tech startups recommended by a UP Centre of Excellence can have their Prototype or Seed Grant doubled.

The Uttar Pradesh Startup Policy 2026 lets a deep-tech startup claim more than the standard Prototype Grant or Seed Capital Assistance.

If your proposal is rigorously evaluated and recommended by the concerned Centre of Excellence (CoE), Deep Tech Hub or Innovation Hub, the approved incentive amount can be increased up to twice the standard startup incentive, subject to approval by the Programme Implementation Unit (PIU).

This is a top-up on an existing grant rather than a separate application: you apply for the Prototype Grant or the Seed Grant, and the CoE recommendation is what unlocks the enhanced amount. The policy expresses the benefit as a multiple of the standard incentive and does not state a rupee ceiling of its own.
