three facilities in Genome Valley here.

The investment from Biological E will enhance the capacity by five billion doses increasing the cumulative capacity to about 14 billion doses each year.
Mahima Datla, Managing Director of Biological E has said, I'm thankful to the government of Telangana, the vision of Honourable Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao and Honourable Minister K T Rama Rao for spearheading and continuing to facilitate in a way that enables us to take quick decisions to expand even during the pandemic times.
Currently, BE has four strategic business units- Branded Formulations, Specialty Generic Injectables, Synthetic Biology and Vaccines and Biologics in Telangana with six manufacturing facilities and creating direct employment for more than 5,000 people.
