मिशन वादे के अनुसार क्रियाशील हुआ और उसका पहला ठोस लक्ष्य अब समय पार कर चुका है। विज्ञान एवं प्रौद्योगिकी मंत्रालय ने 4 फ़रवरी 2026 को संसद को बताया कि राष्ट्रीय क्वांटम मिशन आठ वर्षों में ₹6,003.65 करोड़ के परिव्यय पर चलता है, कि 2024-25 में चार थीमैटिक हब धारा-8 कंपनियों के रूप में स्थापित हुए और उनके शासी बोर्ड बने, कि वे ‘अब पूरी तरह कार्यशील’ हैं, और कि आईआईएससी बेंगलुरु तथा आईआईटी बॉम्बे, कानपुर एवं दिल्ली में फ़ैब्रिकेशन तथा केंद्रीय सुविधाएँ बन रही हैं। मिशन का अपना तीन-वर्षीय लक्ष्य, जो अप्रैल 2023 की स्वीकृति से गिना जाता है, 20 से 50 भौतिक क्यूबिट वाला क्वांटम कंप्यूटर था। उत्तर में क्यूबिट की कोई गिनती है ही नहीं।
“क्वांटम तकनीक की नई सीमा — हम राष्ट्रीय क्वांटम मिशन को क्रियाशील बनाएँगे ताकि भारत क्वांटम प्रौद्योगिकी में वैश्विक अग्रणी बने, उसकी संभावनाओं से अनेक क्षेत्रों में क्रांति आए और तकनीकी नवाचार को गति मिले।”कोई कैग निष्पादन लेखापरीक्षा प्रकाशित नहीं

Four Thematic Hubs established in 2024-25 under a ₹6,003.65 crore, eight-year mission
मिशन के घोषित लक्ष्य हैं तीन वर्षों में 20-50 भौतिक क्यूबिट, पाँच में 50-100 और आठ में 50-1000, साथ ही 2,000 किमी पर उपग्रह-आधारित क्वांटम संचार, 2,000 किमी पर अंतर-शहरी क्वांटम कुंजी वितरण और एक बहु-नोड क्वांटम नेटवर्क। इनमें से किसी लक्ष्य के विरुद्ध कोई प्रगति नहीं बताई गई।
Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No. 861, National Quantum Mission (NQM) — answer by the Ministry of Science and Technology
The 2024 promise is to operationalise something that already existed on paper: "We will operationalise the National Quantum Mission to position Bharat as a global leader in quantum technology." The mission was approved by Cabinet in April 2023, a year before the manifesto.
Operationalisation has happened, and the ministry describes it in institutional terms. The Ministry of Science and Technology told the Lok Sabha on 4 February 2026 that the mission runs "with an outlay of ₹6003.65 crore for a period of eight years", that "four Thematic Hubs (T-Hubs) have been established in the financial year 2024-25", incorporated as Section 8 companies with their own governing boards, that "The hubs are now fully functional", and that "State of art Fabrication and Central facilities are also being established at IISc. Bengaluru, IIT Bombay, IIT Kanpur and IIT Delhi."
That is real. Quantum research in India was scattered across individual laboratories; four funded hubs with fabrication facilities is the infrastructure the field needs.
What makes this mission unusually easy to hold to account is that it published hard, numerical deliverables, and the answer restates them: "Develop intermediate scale quantum computers with 20-50 physical qubits, 50-100 physical qubits and 50-1000 physical qubits in 3 years, 5 years and 8 years, respectively", plus satellite-based quantum communication between ground stations 2,000 km apart, inter-city quantum key distribution over 2,000 km on existing fibre, a multi-node quantum network with quantum memories and repeaters, and specified sensitivities for magnetometers, gravimeters and atomic clocks.
Counting from the April 2023 approval, the three-year mark fell in April 2026. The three-year deliverable was a 20-to-50 qubit machine. This answer, given in February 2026, reports no qubit count — not for any hub, not for any prototype. Nor does it report progress on the communication, network or sensing targets.
Absence of a figure is not proof of failure, and quantum hardware is genuinely hard: no country builds these machines on schedule. But a mission that set explicit numerical milestones and then answers a direct question about progress with governance structures rather than results has chosen what to disclose.
The term runs to 2029 and the mission to 2031, so this is an interim reading. Operationalisation was promised and delivered; the outputs it was operationalised for are not yet reported. Our verdict is partly accurate.
BJP Sankalp Patra 2024 — Modi Ki Guarantee
“This Sankalp Patra outlines the collective aspirations and goals of our nation, by our nation and for our nation. As you have seen in the last ten years, it is Modi's Guarantee that every promise made is fulfilled… In the next five years, with your blessings, it is Modi's Guarantee that we will work 24 by 7 for 2047.”
Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No. 861, National Quantum Mission (NQM) — answer by the Ministry of Science and Technology
“The Government of India is implementing the National Quantum Mission (NQM) with an outlay of ₹6003.65 crore for a period of eight years… Under the Mission, four Thematic Hubs (T-Hubs) have been established in the financial year 2024-25. These hubs have been incorporated as Section-8 Companies by their respective host institutions… State of art Fabrication and Central facilities are also being established at IISc. Bengaluru, IIT Bombay, IIT Kanpur and IIT Delhi. Funds have been released to all four T-Hubs to initiate their operations. The hubs are now fully functional… The implementation of National Quantum Mission has broadly three timelines i.e. 3 years, 5 years and 8 years. Following are the key deliverables set under the mission: 1. Develop intermediate scale quantum computers with 20-50 physical qubits, 50-100 physical qubits and 50-1000 physical qubits in 3 years, 5 years and 8 years, respectively. 2. Develop satellite based secure quantum communications between two ground stations over a range of 2000 kilometres… 3. Develop inter-city quantum key distribution over 2000 km with trusted nodes… 4. Develop multi-node quantum network with quantum memories, entanglement swapping and synchronised quantum repeaters at each node (2-3 nodes).”
