Hyderabad: The Telangana government set a target to transform the city into a Hyderabad laboratory of future, positioning it as a global hub for innovation-led growth in Life Sciences, IT and manufacturing.
IT and Industries Minister Duddilla Sridhar Babu announced the plan while inaugurating BioAsia 2026 at the Hyderabad International Convention Centre on Tuesday. He said the State would attract $25 billion in Life Sciences investments by 2030. He added that the government would create five lakh new jobs.
The Minister said the government framed the Telangana Next-Gen Life Sciences Policy (2026–2030) to place the State among the world’s top three Life Sciences clusters by the decade’s end. He added that the Hyderabad laboratory of future plan supported this long-term goal.
Hyderabad laboratory of future to drive global ranking push
Sridhar Babu said global healthcare had entered a new phase. He noted that the world no longer viewed India only as a supply base for pharmaceuticals and vaccines. Instead, global markets increasingly recognised India as a source of advanced scientific solutions.
“Telangana is preparing for this shift from a manufacturing base to a global centre for innovation, research and advanced drug discovery,” he said.
He said the CBRE Global Life Sciences Atlas (2025) listed Hyderabad as the only Indian city among leading global ecosystems. The atlas placed the city alongside Boston, San Francisco, Beijing and Tokyo.
The Minister said the State launched structured interventions to strengthen research, innovation and high-end manufacturing. At the same time, the government expanded efforts to build a future-ready workforce.
The Telangana School of Life Sciences and Young India Skills University began specialised training programmes. These programmes covered mRNA technology, gene editing and AI-driven drug discovery.
Hyderabad laboratory of future to anchor medical tourism push
The government also introduced a dedicated policy to develop Hyderabad as a global medical tourism hub. The Minister said this step formed part of the broader Hyderabad laboratory of future roadmap.
He invited global enterprises and investors to partner with Telangana. He said the State offered opportunities in AI-based drug discovery and automation in biologics manufacturing. It also opened avenues in data-driven precision medicine, computational biology and Bio-Manufacturing 4.0.
“Telangana is ready to collaborate with global industry leaders to shape the next phase of Life Sciences innovation,” Sridhar Babu said.
