Fire broke out early on Oct 13, 2026 at Vivo Bio Tech's Research Facility in Pregnapur, Gajwel, Telangana. The fire damaged the building, laboratory rooms, plant and machinery, scientific equipment, electrical fittings, and specialised flooring. Test samples received from sponsors for ongoing and future studies, pathology specimens, and PICO facility equipment were also destroyed. No injuries were reported and the fire was brought under control. The facility is adequately insured and the company has begun the insurance claim process. Full extent of physical and financial loss is still being assessed.
Research facility disruption ahead. Insurance covers physical damage; loss of sponsor samples and specimens may hit ongoing studies.
