Novonesis Commits €600M for a Next-Gen Enzyme Plant in Patalganga, India—Danish Bio-Solutions Giant Doubles Down on the Global South Supply Chain

Summary :

Danish biosolutions leader Novonesis, formed from the 2024 merger of Novozymes and Chr. Hansen, announced on September 4, 2026 a €600 million investment to build a next-generation enzyme production facility at its Patalganga, India site, targeting full operation by 2030.

The new plant is designed to serve enzyme demand across biofuels, household care, food & beverage and more than 30 other industries, with a sustainability envelope that includes freshwater recycling systems and integrated heat pumps aimed at cutting Scope 1 and 2 emissions materially versus a legacy footprint. President & CEO Ester Baiget and COO Anders Lund are leading the expansion, positioning India as a scale-out hub that also serves the fast-growing Middle East and Africa demand pool. Novonesis employs approximately 11,000 people globally; the Patalganga investment is one of its largest single-site capital commitments and functions as a supply-resilience move away from concentrated European production. The scale and 2030 timeline signal a long-cycle bet that industrial and consumer biotech demand from South Asia and the broader Global South will outpace mature markets across the next decade.

Why Selected:

A rare €600M “second-hub” bet from a Danish biotech onto an Indian brownfield site with a 2030 horizon—one release tells the entire story of enzyme demand relocation, EU→Global-South capex migration, and Scope-1/2 decarbonization all bundled into a single line-item.
