Reliance Industries Ltd is preparing to introduce advanced genetic testing services at sharply reduced prices, potentially costing under \u20b91,000, which could significantly disrupt India\u2019s healthcare sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The company plans to roll out this initiative across specialised healthcare testing and genomic sciences by using Strand Life Sciences, the Bengaluru-based genomics and diagnostics firm it acquired in 2021 for \u20b9393 crore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reliance to Launch Low-Cost Genetic Testing Using Strand Life Sciences<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Genetic or genomic tests study DNA from blood, saliva, or tissue samples and are increasingly used to evaluate disease risk, track cancer progression, and support personalised treatment decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite their medical value, these tests have seen limited adoption because of high prices, with even basic genomic tests typically costing around \u20b910,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RIL\u2019s approach is focused on drastically cutting prices so that genomic testing becomes accessible to people across all income levels, according to company executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nilesh Modi, director at Strand Life Sciences, said the company wants to \u201cmake an impact\u201d and described the effort as \u201cJio-fication in genomics,\u201d highlighting the ambition to scale and democratise access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reliance Targets Major Price Cuts for CancerSpot Early Cancer Test<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a mid-term goal, the company aims to bring down the price of its CancerSpot early cancer screening test to about \u20b99,999 and eventually reduce it further into the triple-digit price range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lower pricing is expected to be achieved through advances in scientific methods, assay and laboratory engineering, as well as by leveraging economies of scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reliance chairman Mukesh Ambani has earlier identified genomics as a key area capable of driving major improvements in healthcare outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This genomics push aligns with the group\u2019s broader strategy to expand into digital health, life sciences, and AI-driven healthcare solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the plan succeeds, it could reshape preventive healthcare in India by moving genetic testing out of specialised centres and into routine medical practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
