India's National Quantum Mission is a ?6,003.65 crore ($730M) flagship initiative launched April 2023 by the Union Cabinet, running 2023-2031 to establish India as a global quantum technology leader. Led by Department of Science & Technology with four Thematic Hubs (T-Hubs): IISc Bengaluru (Quantum Computing), IIT Madras/C-DOT Delhi (Quantum Communication), IIT Bombay (Quantum Sensing), IIT Delhi (Quantum Materials). NQM targets include: developing 50-1000 physical qubit quantum computers in 8 years; satellite-based secure quantum communications over 2000km within India; inter-city quantum key distribution over 2000km; multi-node quantum networks with quantum memories. NQM develops quantum-resilient encryption and post-quantum cryptographic frameworks for India's critical infrastructure. DRDO leads quantum-safe security scheme design and testing. NQM involves 152 researchers from 43 institutions across 17 states and 2 UTs. Initiative supports Digital India, Make in India, Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India), and SDGs.
India faces massive quantum security exposure: 1.4 billion citizens' Aadhaar biometric data, UPI processing ?45 billion daily transactions, defense systems facing China/Pakistan threats, and sensitive government communications. RBI, SEBI mandate quantum preparedness for financial stability. MeitY 2025 whitepaper "Transitioning to Quantum Cyber Readiness" calls strategic sectors to identify vulnerable areas. India demonstrated 500+km QKD (announced ESTIC 2025) and targets 2000km network. NQM positions India among top 7 countries with dedicated quantum missions (after US, Austria, Finland, France, Canada, China).
India achieves strategic autonomy in quantum security, reducing dependence on foreign technology. Banking sector (SBI, PNB, 500M+ customers) secured against quantum threats. Defense and military communications quantum-protected for India-Pakistan-China borders. Indian satellites and ISRO missions use quantum-secure communications. Smart cities and Digital India infrastructure quantum-protected. Indian quantum companies and startups create ?10,000+ crore domestic industry. NQM supports India's space program with quantum satellite launching within 2-3 years.
Indian military and defense secure communications for borders and classified information, banking and UPI quantum-safe transactions protecting 500M+ users, Aadhaar and government database quantum security for 1.4B citizens, ISRO satellite quantum communications and space security, smart city infrastructure and IoT device security, pharmaceutical and healthcare data protection, Indian Railways quantum-safe reservation and operations systems
