  -     **body:** At the June 2026 batch, **38 companies were selected from 87 interviewed** -- a conversion rate above 40 percent for those who reach the interview stage. The November batch is grouped with Batch 5 into a single interview session, **tentatively scheduled for the week of 15 February 2027**.

For a company using EIC equity alongside a Series A, the November 4 window sets the earliest realistic disbursement at **mid-2027**. Missing Tuesday pushes that to **late 2027** at best.

Confirm your **Funding and Tenders Portal** access is active and all co-applicant details are complete before filing.
