The union government is likely to announce, in the most awaited Budget 2023, the measures to further strengthen the startup ecosystem in the country and address the inverted duty issues in certain sectors to promote domestic manufacturing, according to a PTI report, citing official sources.

Under the Startup India initiative, Fund of Funds for Startups (FFS) scheme, Startup India Seed Fund Scheme (SISFS) and Credit Guarantee Scheme for Startups (CGSS) are implemented to provide capital at various stages of the business cycle of a startup, as per the report.
The commerce and industry ministry has suggested steps to further promote ease of doing business for startups,” one of the sources told PTI.
Moreover, the government may reportedly consider providing funds to infrastructure projects approved by the Network Planning Group (NPG), constituted under the PM Gati Shakti initiative.
