Growth-stage funding programmes
10 verified programmes in the CapEasy funding directory. Every entry links to its official source.
Growth-stage support is mostly about capacity: expansion finance, capital subsidy on plant and equipment, market-access and export support. Pure grants are rare here.
Evaluation is financial rather than narrative. Audited statements, a serviceable repayment plan and a credible utilisation case matter more than the pitch, and several schemes require a minimum operating history.

Questions founders ask.
The programmes listed on this page all accept applicants at the growth stage. They differ in instrument — grant, subsidy, loan or equity — and in who runs them, so read the benefit type on each card before applying.
For most central schemes and many state schemes, yes. DPIIT recognition is free, done online, and gates a large share of the funding in this directory, so it is usually the first step rather than an afterthought.
The directory is re-checked on a rolling basis against official sources and programmes that close are removed. Each entry links to the official page, which remains the position of record — always confirm there before you apply.
