Pongamia Oil Supplier Australia for Renewable Fuel & Industrial Buyers
Ranjit Oil Mills India presses and exports non-edible Pongamia (Karanja) oil from Maharashtra, giving Australian renewable diesel producers, SAF refiners and industrial buyers a traceable oil supply that does not draw on food-oil markets.
Ranjit Oil Mills India is a Pongamia Oil Supplier Australia buyers can source non-edible, traceable Karanja oil from, pressed at our own Maharashtra mill from farmer-grown seed and exported in bulk formats suited to renewable diesel, HEFA-SAF and industrial applications.
One oil, three renewable applications
Why Australian buyers are sourcing Pongamia oil from India
Pongamia oil, also known as Karanja oil, is pressed from the seed of a hardy, non-edible tree that grows across marginal land in India unsuited to food-crop cultivation. Because it never touches a food-oil supply chain, it carries a cleaner sustainability story than many vegetable-oil feedstocks, which is exactly what a Pongamia Oil Supplier Australia buyers are vetting needs to demonstrate.
We press Pongamia oil at our own mill in Masur, Maharashtra, using seed sourced from a farmer plantation network we have built over decades of milling operations. The oil is used by our buyers across three overlapping applications: as a HEFA feedstock input for Sustainable Aviation Fuel, as a feedstock for renewable diesel and biodiesel, and, in its cruder grades, as an industrial and biopesticide oil.
For Australian importers, working with a supplier who mills the oil themselves, rather than trading it through intermediaries, means clearer answers on origin, quality specification and available volume, all of which matter more once an oil is being fed into a fuel-grade or export-compliance process.

Where Pongamia oil fits in Australia's renewable fuel mix
Pongamia oil as a diversification feedstock for Australian producers
Interestingly, Pongamia (Millettia pinnata, the same tree known in India as Karanja) is not entirely foreign to Australia — related populations grow naturally along parts of the country's northern and eastern coastlines. That familiarity has helped build Australian technical interest in the tree's oil chemistry, even though most of the commercial volume available for import today comes from established plantation networks in India rather than nascent domestic cultivation.
For an Australian renewable diesel or SAF producer, importing Pongamia oil from an established Indian supplier is, in practice, a faster route to volume than waiting on a new domestic plantation to mature. It also gives producers a second, non-edible feedstock stream to run alongside used cooking oil, reducing dependence on any single feedstock category as blending mandates and feedstock competition intensify globally.
- Non-edible oil with no food-market competition
- Available in fuel-grade and industrial-grade specifications
- Sourced from an established, multi-decade Indian plantation network
- A practical diversification feedstock alongside used cooking oil
Common questions
Pongamia oil supply to Australia — common questions
Pongamia oil is pressed from the non-edible seed of the Pongamia (Karanja) tree, so it is sourced entirely outside food-oil supply chains.
Yes. Pongamia oil is a recognised HEFA-compatible feedstock for SAF and is also used as a feedstock for biodiesel and renewable diesel production.
We supply Pongamia oil in drums, flexitanks and ISO tank containers, sized to the buyer's order volume and preferred logistics route.
Related Pongamia populations occur naturally in parts of northern and eastern Australia, but commercial supply volumes are currently sourced from established plantation networks like ours in India.
