CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Havih Envirosciences, an Indian citizen-owned and operated life sciences company and subsidiary of Maxwell Biosciences, announced a strategic partnership with the Government of Andhra Pradesh to establish advanced pharmaceutical research and production capabilities in the state. The collaboration was formalized through an agreement with the Andhra Pradesh Centre for Advanced Research on Livestock Limited (APCARL) on November 21, 2025.
Under the agreement, APCARL will provide Havih access to advanced R&D laboratories and underground Biosafety Level 4 (BSL-4) biocontainment facilities at its Pulivendula campus in YSR Kadapa district. Havih will develop and supply next-generation anti-infective medicines for early use within Andhra Pradesh, with manufacturing and export centered in India.
“Prime Minister Modi’s Viksit Bharat @ 2047 vision recognizes that long-term national growth depends on moving up the value chain toward high-margin innovation that creates globally competitive wages for India’s people. India’s economic growth has created momentum; the next phase requires branded pharmaceutical research, advanced IP creation and indigenous scientific leadership.
Havih’s partnership with the Government of Andhra Pradesh and APCARL directly advances that vision by building India-owned biocontainment research, first-in-class drug innovation and export-ready pharmaceutical IP. This collaboration is an investment in India’s scientists, engineers and future innovators – and a practical step toward India’s leadership in global health security,” said Scotch McClure, Chairman of Havih Envirosciences.
