Our Assessment

Maharashtra has introduced a startup policy targeting 1.25 lakh entrepreneurs and 50,000 startups. That is a separate commitment. Operational Akanksha Kendras in every district and 10 lakh new entrepreneurs created through those centres were not verified.

The reasoning behind the verdict

Why this assessment?

Reviewed 25 Oct 2026

01 · Delivery status

Why pending?

A related startup policy is documented, but neither commissioning of the named district centres nor their promised 10-lakh entrepreneur outcome is established.

02 · Strength of evidence

Why medium confidence?

The Governor's address is primary evidence for the startup policy and its different targets. It does not supply an Akanksha Kendra commissioning register or outcome count; absence is limited to the records reviewed.

What would help us reassess?

The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.

A district-wise Akanksha Kendra commissioning register, operational co-working/incubation services and a dated, non-duplicated count of new entrepreneurs created through the centres.

Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
