Cohance to Invest $10 Mn in US, Rs 230 Mn in Hyderabad Facility

Cohance Lifesciences, a global contract research, development, and manufacturing organisation, announced investments aimed at expanding its global capabilities across niche technology-led modalities.

The company said it will invest $10 million to enhance cGMP bioconjugation capabilities at its U.S.-based subsidiary NJ Bio. In addition, Cohance will invest Rs 230 million in a new cGMP oligonucleotide building block manufacturing facility in Hyderabad.

The US investment will support the company’s global expansion in advanced modalities, strengthening its ability to provide integrated solutions from early-stage development through late-phase clinical supply. The new cGMP bioconjugation suite at NJ Bio’s Princeton, New Jersey site will enhance the delivery of antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) solutions. Designed to handle high-potent drug substances, the suite will have the flexibility to manufacture up to 2 kg of ADCs. It is expected to be operational by the end of Q4FY26.

In Hyderabad, the upcoming facility will provide up to 700 kg annual GMP capacity for complex oligonucleotide building blocks. The company said it will help scale high-value chemistries from laboratory to commercial manufacturing, catering to the growing demand for oligonucleotide-based therapeutics.

Customer engagements are underway, with audits scheduled in the coming quarters. Kilo lab validations and modified nucleotide work are ongoing, with GMP-grade PMO and LNA amidite validations set to begin by December.

Cohance said the two investments are part of its capacity expansion programme in high-growth areas, aimed at supporting innovators globally from early development through commercial supply.
