All India, March 19th, 2025: 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). Gruner has invested USD 1 Million, in this new venture to revolutionize Indian agriculture through digital innovation and sustainable practices. Committed to enhancing farmer livelihoods, Kisani Urjaa integrates cutting-edge technology and data-driven solutions to optimize 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 utilized 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, emphasized the strategic importance of this initiative and said, “The Union Budget 2025-26 underscores agriculture as a pivotal engine of economic development, with an allocation of approx Rs. 1,37,000 crores 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.”
He further stated, “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 crores 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.”
KUPL specializes in sustainable collection and management of paddy straw and other agricultural residues, offering farmers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional waste disposal methods. Their key initiatives include:
• Field Clearance for Next Crop Cycles: Assisting farmers in preparing their fields promptly for subsequent planting, thereby saving time and reducing labor costs.
• Environmental Conservation: Implementing sustainable agricultural practices to minimize environmental impact and promote ecological balance.
To further streamline feedstock collection, KUPL has introduced the Kisan Mobile App, a digital platform that seamlessly connects farmers with the company’s services. The app allows farmers to easily register and list their available feedstock, ensuring quick and hassle-free scheduling for residue collection. By providing a convenient and efficient solution, it helps farmers monetize agricultural waste, reduce environmental impact, and enhance their income opportunities. Through this technology-driven approach, KUPL is transforming farm waste into a valuable resource, fostering a more sustainable and profitable future for India’s agricultural sector.
