TAMIL NADU is one of the pioneer states of India to identify the potential of the biotechnology and came out with the Biotechnology Policy in the year 2004 to promote the sector across the state. Tamil Nadu, is the first state in the country to set up a Pharma park in 1978 and already home to global pharmaceuticals and medical device manufacturers. It is now growing into an important center for medical equipment production. The Medical electronics industry has also witnessed double digit growth in recent years in the state. More than 400 Pharmaceutical companies specializing in bulk Drugs, API, Formulations and Medical Devices in Tamil Nadu. Nearly 100 institutes providing a range of Pharma & Biotech degrees and approximately 88,000 registered Pharmacists are there in the state. Tamil Nadu is well suited place for sea, air and road transport.
Tamil Nadu is an eco-friendly environment for setting up a biotech industry. National regulatory guidelines supports Biotech ecosystem in the state. There are seven central Drug Testing Laboratories in India under CDSCO (Central Drugs Control Standard Organization) for testing of drugs and Biologicals. Biotech ecosystem in Tamilnadu includes Biotech & Pharma production / R&D/CRO/CMO/Diagnostic kit manufacturing / Raw materials & consumables manufacture ring for Biotech industry / Manufacturing of Biopharma equipments / NABL Accredited testing Facility and GLP -animal house testing facility. There are enough biotechnologists in the state to meet the employment demand. Medical Device Park also planned for the state of Tamilnadu. Large land bank is available in the state to set up Biopharma industries. ‘Guidance’ is the Government of Tamil Nadu’s nodal agency to facilitate the international companies who wants to set up their establishment in Tamil Nadu through a single window clearance channel. The major international Pharma / Biotech companies such as Astrazeneca, Caplin Pharma, teva Pharma, Johnson and Johnson, Perkin elmer, Dr.reddy’s laboratories, aurolab, and Biocon biologics are present in the state.
