Research & development

Research establishment in India has been growing significantly from the past decade-and-a-half. Liberalization and subsequent opening of the Indian economy from 1991 onwards are beginning to make significant impacts. As India continues on a sustained growth trajectory, the need for a robust R&D ecosystem coupled with an increased investment both by the private sector and the government in R&D gains significance. There are 6862 R&D institutions in the Country. The share of various sectors in total number of R&D institutions is: Central Government 8.9%, State Governments 15.3%, Higher Education Sector 10.2% Private Sector including Scientific & Industrial Research organizations 63.1% and Public Sector Industry including State Public Sector 2.5%.
