India’s first-of-its-kind Green Forge Complex was inaugurated at the National Agri-food & Biomanufacturing Institute (BRIC-NABI), Mohali, marking a significant development in agricultural biotechnology and genetically modified (GM) crop research.
About Green Forge Complex
The facility was inaugurated during the National Conclave on BioE3 (Biotechnology for Economy, Environment and Employment), 2026. It provides advanced simulation chambers that precisely regulate light, humidity and temperature.
These controlled environments enable researchers to cultivate and test GM crops under different environmental conditions, helping assess their suitability before field deployment.
Technological Integration
The Green Forge Complex demonstrates the convergence of biotechnology, advanced environmental simulation and Artificial Intelligence (AI). This integration is expected to accelerate research in agricultural and medical sciences.
India's Growing Bioeconomy
India’s bioeconomy has expanded from approximately USD 10 billion in 2014 to around USD 200 billion, supported by private-sector participation and an enabling policy environment.
Under the BioE3 Policy, 2024, the focus is shifting towards industry-ready biomanufacturing and translating scientific research into commercial products and technologies.
Infrastructure Push
The government is developing 22 biomanufacturing hubs and a National Bio-Foundry Network comprising eight specialised facilities to support start-ups, small and medium enterprises, and the commercialisation of research.
The Department of Biotechnology is also supporting around 38 Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) projects to address emissions from hard-to-abate sectors such as cement and steel.
Emerging Biotechnology Frontiers
India is expanding biotechnology research into Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF), the I3 PhD programme and Space Biotechnology. Collaborations with ISRO include research on myogenesis and cyanobacteria growth experiments in space.
Waste-to-Wealth
BRIC-NABI is integrating agricultural biotechnology with bioprocess engineering to convert agricultural waste into high-value nutraceuticals and biomaterials.
Nutraceuticals are food-derived products that provide additional health benefits beyond basic nutrition.
Strategic Significance
The Green Forge initiative supports India's transition towards a low-carbon, circular bioeconomy and aligns with the long-term goals of Net Zero by 2070 and Atmanirbhar Bharat.
