As around the world, India has witnessed a remarkable surge of interest from academics and entrepreneurs in the development of nanotechnology. This has been further supported by the state, through the unveiling of the Nano Mission in 2007, through which it has hoped to streamline public investment into research and development (R&D). Infrastructure, science education, and entrepreneur-support programs in the ˜eld of nanotechnology are expected to bear fruit over the next decades, with the ˜eld anticipated to rival that of the information and communication technology (ICT) revolution in India. The institutional framework for nano R&D has implications in terms of determining the regulatory space available for undertaking.
