BioE3 Policy India<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

As India’s biotechnology industry is starting a new phase of industrial growth, the government’s BioE3 policy is emerging as one of the largest prospects for entrepreneurs in the biotech startups and manufacturing space. The Department of Biotechnology has launched BioE3 (Biotechnology for Economy, Environment and Employment). The policy is geared towards making India a global bio-manufacturing hub, bio-chemicals, industrial enzymes and sustainable agricultural products.<\/p>

This bio foundry India BioE3 policy is no ordinary policy announcement for entrepreneurs. It’s a business opportunity, with funding, a supportive government, export demand, and increasing industrial demand. There is a significant import of specialty enzymes, bio-chemicals and advanced agricultural biological products into India. The government now wants domestic firms to encourage these imports to be made at home.<\/p>

A clear indicator was the DBT funding of Institute of Pesticide Formulation Technology (IPFT) for biofoundry facility. This Project will enhance the capacities of India in research, development and bio-manufacturing of bio-pesticides as well as fermentation. This provides opportunities for private sector contract manufacturing, R&D support sharing, and technical cooperation.<\/p>

The Indian chemical industry is already big enough to facilitate this change. India’s chemicals industry saw robust year-on-year growth and recently crossed the turnover of \u20b915 lakh crore, the ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers has said. The significance of this is the fact that bio-manufacturing companies can produce and deliver products directly to established industries like agriculture, food processing, medicine and textiles.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
