Pongamia Feedstock
Pongamia Feedstock India: Oil, Cake & Biomass From One Traceable Source
As a supplier of Pongamia Feedstock India renewable-energy and industrial companies work with, we deliver crude oil, oil cake and biomass by-products from a single, documented farmer-linked value chain based in Masur, Pune.
Pongamia Feedstock India refers to the oil, cake and biomass derived from the non-edible Pongamia (Karanja) tree, used across biofuel, fertiliser and industrial applications. Ranjit Oil Mills India supplies all three feedstock streams from one traceable, farmer-linked source based in Maharashtra.
One tree, multiple feedstock streams
Understanding Pongamia as a multi-output feedstock
When people search for Pongamia Feedstock India, they are usually looking for more than just oil. The Pongamia (Karanja) tree produces seed that, once pressed, yields both crude oil and a protein-rich oil cake, alongside biomass residues that have their own industrial uses. This makes it one of the more versatile non-edible feedstocks available in India today.
Ranjit Oil Mills India has built its supply chain around this versatility. Our mill in Masur, Pune, processes Pongamia seed sourced from farmer and plantation partners into crude oil for biodiesel, industrial and emerging Sustainable Aviation Fuel applications, while the resulting cake is supplied onward for fertiliser, pesticide-formulation and animal-feed-adjacent industrial uses.
Because the entire chain runs through one mill and one documented sourcing network, buyers of any of these Pongamia feedstock streams get the same traceability, whether they are ordering oil in bulk or cake by the tonne.

Sourcing footprint
Where our Pongamia feedstock is grown and processed
Our Pongamia Feedstock India supply chain is anchored at our own mill in Masur, Pune, Maharashtra, with seed sourced from an expanding network of farmer and plantation partnerships in the surrounding region. Pongamia trees grow well on marginal and wasteland areas that are not suited to food-crop cultivation, which is part of why this feedstock model avoids competing with food production.
As plantation programmes mature, seed volumes are expected to rise steadily over the coming years, allowing us to scale supply of oil, cake and biomass feedstock to a wider base of biofuel, fertiliser and renewable-energy customers across India.
