Bioclusters
There are over 300 companies that are into the biotech business across the country and another 140 companies that supply technology products to these biotech companies.
Regional distribution of Biotech Revenue
The Southern biocluster is housed mostly in and around Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chennai. The heterogenous nature of the Southern cluster, which has companies ranging from the bioagri to bioinformatics to bioindustrial, has made it an attractive destination for companies to set shop here. The Western cluster is centered around Aurangabad, Ahmedabad, Mumbai and Pune, while companies in the North are primarily located in Delhi-Gurgoan-Noida region

Government to set up Biotech Industry R&D Assistance Council
Global experience indicates that innovation in biotechnology occurs in small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) with large industries then taking up manufacturing and marketing activities. However, for India to fulfill its potential and emerge as a strong global player in biotech sector, government's role as champion and catalyst is critical in ushering in an ecosystem that encourages innovation, competitiveness, investment and enterprise development. Public-private partnership is critical to the success of innovation. A seamless interface between academia and industry is essential.
To stimulate and enhance innovation capabilities of the industry sector and to promote and sustain academia-industry interaction, the Government of India has envisaged the creation of Biotechnology Industry Research & Development Assistance Council (BIRAC). The council is expected to assist industry through a range of services. These are intended to
