Support startups across eight promised growth sectors

Bharatiya Janata Party · Gujarat Legislative Assembly Election 2022

Last updated 18 Oct 2026

What does this status mean?

Meaningful delivery has occurred, but the stated commitment is incomplete.

Status describes delivery. Confidence describes how strong the available evidence is.

Original manifesto wording

“We will make Gujarat the most vibrant startup ecosystem in India by: • Encouraging, supporting and promoting startups in the domain of healthcare, agriculture, education, retail, transport, logistics, manufacturing and FinTech to support the sectoral growth targets”

Our Assessment

DPIIT reports support to more than 600 unique startups in Gujarat's identified priority sectors during January 2023–November 2024, through over 20 schemes or initiatives. It documents healthcare and agriculture priorities, manufacturing incubation and funding support. This establishes sector-focused activity, including programmes that predate the election. The priority-sector total does not prove delivery across all eight manifesto sectors or achievement of their growth targets. Sector-wise recipients, payments and outcomes remain necessary.

The reasoning behind the verdict

Why this assessment?

Reviewed

01 · Delivery status

Why partially done?

Documented priority-sector support delivers part of the pledge, but coverage of all eight promised sectors and growth outcomes is unverified.

02 · Strength of evidence

Why medium confidence?

DPIIT documents operational support and beneficiaries for a defined period; its priority-sector grouping does not map completely to the eight manifesto sectors.

What would help us reassess?

The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.

  • Beneficiaries and actual support in healthcare, agriculture, education, retail, transport, logistics, manufacturing and FinTech
  • Sectoral growth targets and measured contribution of supported startups

Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
