Hyderabad: Information Technology and Industries Minister D. Sridhar Babu said the government was developing an advanced medical research ecosystem to position Hyderabad as a global biotechnology hub.
He made the announcement after inaugurating the ₹1,200-crore Theranym Biologics manufacturing facility at Borpatla village in Hatnoora mandal of Sangareddy district on Wednesday.
