The Department of Biotechnology (DBT) has launched “SUJVIKA”, an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based Biotech Product Data Portal, on 25 February 2026, marking its 40th Foundation Day.
It is a Trade Statistics Digital Intelligence Platform that provides structured data on biotechnology imports.
The portal helps identify high-value and high-volume imports to support domestic biomanufacturing and reduce import dependency.
The DBT was established in 1986 under the Ministry of Science and Technology.
India’s bioeconomy increased from nearly 10 billion United States Dollars (USD) in 2014 to about 165.7 billion USD in 2024.
