What SBTC does

SBTC (Maharashtra State Blood Transfusion Council) is a government autonomous body established on 4 January 1996 under a directive of the Supreme Court of India to regulate and coordinate blood transfusion services across the state of Maharashtra. Its mandate is to ensure adequate and safe blood and blood components are available at reasonable rates. SBTC oversees a network of 565+ registered blood banks and blood centers spanning all 36 districts of Maharashtra, including government hospitals, private hospitals, trust-run banks, and standalone blood centers. It also engages nursing homes and hospitals through a registration and compliance framework, and operates under the guidelines of NACO (National AIDS Control Organisation) for blood safety standards.

The organization operates a web-based platform built primarily on Appsmith, comprising multiple integrated portals: a Public Blood Stock Search for citizens to check real-time blood availability, a district-organized Blood Bank Directory, a Donor Registration Portal, an Administrative Portal for SBTC staff, a Blood Center Login Portal for registered banks to manage inventory and reports, a Monthly Blood Centre Reporting System, a Nursing Home Registration System, and a Tender/Quotations System for procurement. These portals provide public transparency on blood stock, enable donor registration, and digitize compliance and reporting workflows for the state's blood bank network. The Sir J.J. Mahanagar Blood Centre in Mumbai is associated with SBTC operations.

As a government autonomous body, SBTC is funded through state government allocations rather than commercial revenue. It does not charge for its core regulatory functions, and blood components are provided at reasonable rates as per Supreme Court directive. The organization coordinates voluntary blood donation camps, issues guidelines and circulars to blood centres, and manages infrastructure oversight. It operates with a lean staff of 11-50 employees from its headquarters at Ravindra Annexe, 5th Floor, Dinshaw Vacha Road, Churchgate Reclamation, Mumbai.
