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>\n<p>This bio foundry India BioE3 policy is no ordinary policy announcement for entrepreneurs. It&#8217;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>\n<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&amp;D support sharing, and technical cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>The Indian chemical industry is already big enough to facilitate this change. India&#8217;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>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_84 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p
