Government’s Arm’s length organization
PPP Joint Venture ‘not–for–profit’ Company incorporated by
Technology Development Board
Department of Science & Technology
Government of India
Stimulating Indian industry’s investments in R&D and
technology acquisitions through sharing of risks and global
technology partnership

Background India has an excellent indirect incentive in the form of 200%
Weighted Tax Deduction on industry’s expenditure in
R&D. But direct incentives through flexible funding
support for industrial R&D with writing–off of failures was
missing.
India’s international technology cooperation has so far
been limited to institutional collaborations in academic
research – industry were not made involved
Thus, India’s private sector’s low investment in R&D
resulted in less number of R&D professionals produced
and engaged leading to less number of patents filed and
commercialized and finally resulted in low value addition
in manufacturing and low high technology exports

Incorporation of GITA In 2011, a PPP, not–for–profit Company named “Global Innovation
& Technology Alliance” (GITA) was incorporated jointly by the
Technology Development Board (TDB) of the Department of
Science & Technology (DST), Govt of India and the Confederation
of Indian Industry (CII).
GITA was given a clear mandate to implement Government’s direct
incentives/funds to stimulate industry’s investment in R&D,
technology acquisition, technology development & demonstration
with Indian and global industry and institutional partners to deliver
commercialisable products and services to Indian and global
markets.
In order to provide sufficient flexibility to GITA, the majority (51%)
share of GITA’s seed capital has been invested by CII’s key
member companies and the minority share (49%) has been
invested by Government of India.
