GS3GS1
The government has launched the ₹3,030-crore 'BHAVYA-Rasayan' scheme to boost domestic manufacturing of bulk drugs and chemicals through specialized industrial parks. The initiative emphasizes sustainable growth by integrating common environmental infrastructure like Effluent Treatment Plants.
The Union Cabinet has approved the 'BHAVYA-Rasayan' scheme, a strategic initiative with an outlay of ₹3,030 crore, aimed at revitalizing India’s chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing landscape. By establishing dedicated bulk drug and chemical parks, the government seeks to reduce import dependency, enhance supply chain resilience, and bolster the 'Make in India' initiative in the critical chemical sector.
A core objective of the BHAVYA-Rasayan scheme is to address the challenges of industrial location and environmental compliance. Chemical manufacturing is often capital-intensive and requires specialized infrastructure to manage hazardous waste. By providing common environmental infrastructure, such as advanced Effluent Treatment Plants (ETPs) and hazardous waste management systems, the scheme lowers the entry barrier for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This 'plug-and-play' model allows manufacturers to focus on production efficiency while ensuring adherence to stringent environmental standards, thereby mitigating the ecological footprint of industrial clusters.
