Nothing
is wasted.

Every harvest leaves something behind. We turn it into clean fuel, living soil, and cleaner air — and pay farmers for the privilege.

The simple idea

Two problems, standing a field apart.

Every year, farmers across Madhya Pradesh are left with millions of tonnes of stalks, husks and residue. Most of it burns in the field, and the smoke darkens the air for everyone.

Meanwhile, India's largest power company is legally required to blend clean biomass fuel into its coal boilers — and there isn't nearly enough of it in the country.

farmfuel sits precisely between those two problems — within walking distance of the NTPC Selda power plant.

01

Buy the waste

We pay Harda district farmers for the crop residue they would otherwise burn — turning a liability into income.

02

Transform everything

Residue becomes fuel pellets. What can't be pelletized feeds earthworms. Even the ash enriches organic manure.

03

Close the circle

Pellets power NTPC next door. Compost and bio-fertilizer return to the same farmers for the next planting season.

Why it works

The buyer is next door — and buying is the law.

a

A mandatory customer. Coal power stations must blend biomass fuel by law. NTPC Selda is within walking distance of our site, and state policy gives local producers purchase preference.

b

Backed four ways by government. A non-repayable central grant, a state capital subsidy, priority-sector lending, and a five-year income-tax holiday — all for this exact activity.

c

Growing demand on two continents. India's biomass mandate deepens every year, and Europe imports both pellets and organic products faster than it can produce them.

Carbon negative, by design

For every tonne of carbon this facility emits, it removes roughly seventeen from the economy around it.
