The Technology Development Board (TDB), under the Department of Science and Technology (DST), has signed an agreement with QNu Labs to provide $15.8 million in funding for the development of an indigenous quantum-secure technology stack.The project aims to advance India’s Quantum Secure and Sensing Networks through chip-based and satellite-based quantum key distribution (QKD), quantum magnetometers and indigenous atomic-clock technology.The initiative aims to strengthen India’s self-reliance in quantum security and protect critical sectors—including defence, tele-communications and finance—from emerging cyber threats.

India Bets $15.8 Million on Quantum Security to Counter Future Cyber Threats
India has allocated $15.8 million to Bengaluru-based cybersecurity firm QNu Labs to develop indigenous quantum-secure technology for communications, navigation and critical infrastructure.
The Technology Development Board (TDB), under the Department of Science and Technology (DST), has signed an agreement with QNu Labs to provide $15.8 million in funding for the development of an indigenous quantum-secure technology stack.
The total project cost stands at $31.7 million and covers four key areas: device identity, location integrity, secure communications, and precise time synchronisation.
The project aims to advance
India’s Quantum Secure and Sensing Networks through chip-based and satellite-based quantum key distribution (QKD), quantum magnetometers and indigenous atomic-clock technology.
The initiative aims to strengthen India’s self-reliance in quantum security and protect critical sectors—including defence, tele-communications and finance—from emerging cyber threats.
