Quantum Safe Ecosystem in India

India's digital economy runs on cryptography. Every financial transaction, government communication, and digital identity depends on cryptographic systems that quantum computers, once sufficiently capable, are expected to break. The threat is already active: adversaries are harvesting encrypted data today to decrypt it later. The window to act is narrowing.

The Quantum-Safe Ecosystem in India report, published under the National Quantum Mission by the Department of Science and Technology, provides India's definitive national strategy for this transition. Developed by a DST Task Force, with sub-groups led by the Telecommunication Engineering Centre of DoT and the Data Security Council of India, the report sets clear, time-bound national targets: quantum resiliency across Critical Information Infrastructure by 2029, and enterprise-wide post-quantum cryptography adoption by 2033. It covers PQC migration pathways, a national testing and certification programme, hybrid deployment frameworks, crypto-agile PKI systems, and national testbeds for composite PQC-QKD solutions.

The report represents a coordinated commitment across government, industry, and R&D to build a quantum-secure digital backbone suited to India's scale and strategic requirements, advancing indigenous quantum-safe solutions while maintaining global interoperability.
