The government is reportedly expected to come up with a detailed plan to execute the Rs 60 billion National Quantum Mission by August 2023.
The detailed plan that will come in the form of a vision document will involve the identification of an institution that will act as a hub, the distribution of tasks among different research institutes as well as government organisations for developing applications of quantum technologies, selection of industry partners, etc. It is expected that IT companies such as Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Tech Mahindra, Infosys and other software companies might also get involved as industry partners in the quantum initiative.
In April 2023, the government approved the National Quantum Mission to scale-up scientific and industrial research and development (R&D) for quantum technologies by 2030-31.
