Gruner Renewable Energy, India's fastest growing renewable energy company, announced its entry into Agritech space with the launch of Kisani Urjaa Pvt. Ltd. (KUPL). The company has invested $1 million, in this new venture to revolutionise Indian agriculture through digital innovation and sustainable practices. Committed to enhancing farmer livelihoods, Kisani Urjaa integrates cutting-edge technology and data-driven solutions to optimise productivity, streamline agricultural waste management, and provide seamless access to essential farming services.
With India generating approximately 620 million metric tons of agricultural waste annually, only 25-30% is effectively utilised for fodder and energy production. The improper disposal of agricultural residue, particularly stubble burning, remains a major contributor to air pollution and environmental degradation. KUPL aims to address these challenges by introducing efficient agricultural waste management solutions, empowering farmers and promoting sustainability.
Utkarsh Gupta, founder & CEO of Gruner Group, said, “The Union Budget 2025-26 underscores agriculture as a pivotal engine of economic development, with an allocation of approximately Rs 1,37,000 crore to the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare, representing 2.7% of the Union Budget. Initiatives such as the 'Prime Minister Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana' aim to uplift farmers across 100 low agricultural productivity districts. Kisani Urjaa aligns with these national efforts by focusing on boosting agricultural productivity, empowering rural communities, and promoting sustainability. The launch of Kisani Urjaa marks a significant step toward transforming Indian agriculture through sustainable and technology-driven solutions. At KUPL, we are committed to providing farmers with efficient agricultural waste management services, helping them clear their fields on time, reduce costs, and adopt eco-friendly practices. We are targeting a revenue of Rs 100 crore in the financial year 2025-26 which will help us to empower farmers of the country. By integrating digital innovation with grassroots agricultural needs, we aim to create a cleaner, greener, and more prosperous future for India’s farming communities.”
