India Targets $1 Trillion Bio-Economy by 2047

India has launched an ambitious initiative to grow its bio-economy to $1 trillion by 2047, aiming to become a global leader in biotechnology and sustainable innovation.

Today, it contributes 4.2% to India's GDP, with a clear roadmap to reach $300 billion by 2030.

A key driver of this growth is the booming startup ecosystem, which has exploded from 50 companies to over 11,000 in just over a decade.

These areas are supported by the BioE3 policy, which promotes biomanufacturing and waste-to-wealth models.

By transitioning toward an innovation-led economy, India seeks to integrate advanced research with industrial scale, positioning itself as a central hub for future biological solutions and global sustainability.
