The Department of Biotechnology (DBT) had proposed two laboratories namely NIAB and National Centre for Cell Sciences (NCCS), Pune for this purpose. Funds from Prime Minister Cares Fund Trust (PM-CARES) have been allotted for upgradation of these two laboratories.

NCCS, Pune has already been notified as a CDL laboratory by MoHFW.
