Khelo India Sports Goods Manufacturing Scheme, 2026-34
The Khelo India Sports Goods Manufacturing Scheme is a ₹1,856.67 crore programme, running from FY 2026-27 to FY 2033-34, that pays for factories, clusters, research, certification and export promotion so that India can make and sell sports equipment at global scale. The Union Cabinet approved it on 28 October 2026, acting on a Union Budget 2026-27 announcement; it is a separate scheme from the athlete-focused Khelo India Scheme, 2026-31, which it is meant to complement.
