Almost 65 percent of all vaccines manufactured in India come from Hyderabad: Bharat Biotech Chairman Dr Krishna Ella
Hyderabad: Almost 65 per cent of all vaccines manufactured in India and exported around the world come from Hyderabad, Bharat Biotech Chairman and Managing Director Dr Krishna Ella said on Monday.
He said that there is no cluster like Hyderabad's Genome Valley anywhere in the world which contributes such huge volumes.
He was speaking after receiving Genome Valley Excellence Award at the inaugural session of Bio Asia 2021, the 18th edition of Asia's biggest life science and healthcare industry conference.
Dr Krishna Ella and Bharat Biotech's Joint Managing Director Suchitra Ella received the award from Telangana's Industry Minister K. T. Rama Rao.
Stating that he is honoured to receive the award, Krishna Ella said this award was for all entrepreneurs who contributed to city's growth.
He said despite Hyderabad being the largest vaccine manufacturing hub in the world, the city is not getting the recognition while Bengaluru gets too much attention.
