India has rolled out a network of advanced biomanufacturing hubs under the BioE3 Policy (Biotechnology for Environment, Economy & Employment) to accelerate its bioeconomy and innovation ecosystem.

The High Performance Biomanufacturing Platforms, launched by the Department of Biotechnology (DBT) and Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC), will provide state-of-the-art infrastructure, technology, and expertise for startups, SMEs, industries, and researchers. Union Minister of State for Science and Technology Jitendra Singh termed the initiative a "turning point for India's innovation journey," positioning the country among the earliest movers in advanced biomanufacturing. These hubs will integrate synthetic biology, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and omics technologies to drive sustainable solutions in health, agriculture, clean energy, food systems, industrial biotechnology, and climate resilience.

By bridging lab-to-pilot-to-pre-commercial scale, the initiative aims to fast-track bio-based innovations. With the goal of achieving a USD 300 billion bioeconomy by 2030, the government hopes to establish India as a global leader in biotechnology and strengthen its innovation-led growth.
