India Innovation Index Report 2020


The NITI Aayog has recently released the India Innovation Index Report 2020,

The exercise was initiated in 2019 and is on the lines of the Global Innovation Index (GII), which ranks countries annually.

In 2015, India ranked 81 among 141 countries in the GII. By 2020 it ranked 48 among 131 countries.


Framework of the Index

The framework of the index includes globally considered parameters for measuring innovation, such as the percentage of GDP spent on research and development, while keeping them specific to the Indian economy.

India also spends only 0.7 per cent of its GDP on R&D, much lower than the top spenders such as Israel (4.95 per cent).

Karnataka has been ranked the most innovative among major states by the NITI Aayog.

Karnataka topped with a score of 42.5 for the second year running. The state’s success has been attributed to a high number of venture capital deals, registered GIs and ICT exports, and high FDI inflow.

Four southern states – Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Telangana and Kerala —occupy the top positions on the index, apart from Maharashtra.
