Technology Development Fund (TDF) Scheme

Technology Development Fund (TDF) has been established to promote self-reliance in defence technology as a part of the 'Make in India' initiative. It is a programme of MoD (Ministry of Defence) executed by DRDO meeting the requirements of Tri-Services, Defence Production and DRDO.

The TDF Scheme will cover the following nature of products/technology development:

01 Significant up-gradation / improvements / further developments in the existing products / process / application etc.
02 Technology Readiness Level (TRL) up-gradation from TRL3 onwards to realization of products as per Tri-Services requirements
03 Development of futuristic technologies / innovative products which can be useful for the defence applications
04 Import substitution of components whose technologies do not exist with the Indian industry
