Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, in her Budget speech on Thursday (1 February), announced the creation of a scheme for deep tech in the defence sector.
"A scheme will be launched for strengthening deep tech in the defence sector to expedite Atmanirbharta," she said.
The scheme is expected to give a fillip to the innovation of deep tech in defence, allowing the armed forces to have cutting-edge weapons and tech for fighting future wars.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
