India’s biotech startup ecosystem has grown significantly, from 50 startups in 2014 to nearly 9,000 today. Union Minister Jitendra Singh attributes this growth to the rapid expansion of the bio-economy, which has increased from $10 billion in 2014 to over $130 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $300 billion by 2030. The Indian government has prioritized sustainability due to concerns about pollution and climate change. The government aims to achieve a net zero emissions target by 2070 and has launched initiatives such as the Green Hydrogen mission, mission for climate change, and deep sea mission. The BioE3 Policy is also a key step towards sustainable growth. The minister believes that the rise of biotech startups is crucial for India’s future economy, as they can contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable future. The country’s bioplastic movement is a key example of this, showcasing how biotechnology can help address global challenges.
