Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science and Technology Jitendra Singh on Tuesday said biotechnology will drive the next industrial revolution, as India steadily moves towards building a USD 1 trillion bioeconomy by 2047.

Addressing the 40th Foundation Day celebrations of the Department of Biotechnology (DBT) in New Delhi, the Minister launched “SUJVIKA”, an AI-driven biotech product data portal developed in collaboration with industry body ABLE.

Singh said India has ensured that it does not remain a late entrant in emerging technologies and has positioned biotechnology as a key pillar of future economic growth under the vision of Viksit Bharat.

The SUJVIKA portal is a trade statistics digital intelligence platform that presents authenticated biotechnology product import data in a structured format. It provides sector-wise insights into biochemical products, industrial enzymes and other biotech imports, enabling researchers, startups and industry to identify high-value imports, assess import dependence and prioritise indigenisation and R&D efforts.
