Immersive Technologies

Immersive technologies—comprising Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality, and Extended Reality (XR)—are expanding across India's education, industry, and creative sectors. The government is actively promoting the Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, Comics, and Extended Reality (AVGC-XR) ecosystem through initiatives such as the Indian Institute of Creative Technologies (IICT) in Mumbai, the GENESIS Scheme for startups, and an allocation of ₹250 crore in the Union Budget 2026–27 for AVGC Content Creator Labs across schools and colleges. Additionally, infrastructure initiatives like the Department of Telecommunications' 'Sangam: Digital Twin' and various state policies aim to position India as a global hub for immersive technology and innovation under the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.
