The economics of use of biofuels as an alternative to diesel largely depends yield of fruit and recovery of oil. The planting material used in Pongamia cultivation mainly decides the Pongamia oil production.

Pongamia Seeds from genetically qualified and high yielding trees ensures highest oil yielding pongamia trees. These collected Pongamia seeds are engaged for improved Depulping, Pre-cleaning, Pre-treatment, Drying and Grading.

Pongamia Pinnata could be used to supplement traditional, highly polluting fuels and provide employment to landless and marginal people. The seeds of Pongamia contain about 40% oil, which ca be converted to biodiesel by trans-esterification. Pongamia Biofuel requires no engine modification, when blended with diesel in proportions as high as 20 percent. Pongamia Pinnata is a preferred species for controlling soil erosion and binding sand dunes because of its dense network of lateral roots. Pongamia Pinnata root, bark, leaves, sap, and flower also have medicinal properties and traditionally used as medicinal plants.
