Amaravati to be ‘quantum gateway' of the country
The declaration outlined specific targets and timelines to meet in the next four years.
The declaration has proposed to establish a global quantum collaboration council (GQCC), in partnership with national quantum mission (NQM), in Amaravati to harmonise international standards, pursue joint R&D, and promote trusted supply networks. The declaration also proposed to establish a multi-stakeholder Amaravati quantum valley mission board (AQVMB) with multiple working groups to identify the use cases of quantum in different sectors.
It has been resolved to convene the annual 'World Quantum Expo' in Amaravati starting 2026.
AQV will spearhead the creation of a national startup forum with VC-backed milestone-based funding and mentorship. A dedicated Rs 1,000 crore quantum fund and access to living-lab infrastructure will support at least 20 quantum hardware and software startups in the next year and 100 by 2030. Startups will also benefit from regulatory sandboxes.
AQV aims to attract a minimum of $500 million quantum technology investments by Jan 1, 2027 with a target of $1 billion by Jan 1, 2029 in areas such as computing, chips, sensing, and communications.
India's largest open quantum testbed, QchipIN, would be established by AQV within 12 months. This will integrate quantum computers, QKD fiber links, and deployable sensor platforms to enable pilots across sectors like health-tech, BFSI, logistics, defense, and space.
QChipIN will provide end-to-end access to quantum hardware, algorithms, tools, and expert support.
AQV will also anchor domestic production of Qubit platforms, cryo-electronics, photonic packages, quantum chips, quantum dots, quantum readout hardware like single photon detector, homodyne detector, and control systems, targeting Rs 5,000 crore annual exports by 2030. AQV will also establish India's first integrated quantum skilling ecosystem.
