SAF Supply Chain
SAF Feedstock Supply Chain India: Traceable From Source to Dispatch
Ranjit Oil Mills India has built a SAF Feedstock Supply Chain India buyers can audit end-to-end, connecting Pongamia plantation farmers and HORECA kitchens directly to documented, dispatch-ready feedstock.
A SAF Feedstock Supply Chain India needs to run from farmer or kitchen source through to documented dispatch, with traceability preserved at every stage. Ranjit Oil Mills India operates such a supply chain for both Pongamia oil and used cooking oil from its base in Maharashtra.
Traceability as infrastructure, not paperwork
What a real SAF feedstock supply chain requires
A SAF Feedstock Supply Chain India business builds is judged less on how much feedstock it can move and more on how well it can answer a simple question for every batch: where did this actually come from? That answer needs to hold up whether the buyer is a domestic biodiesel plant or an international refiner subject to formal sustainability certification schemes.
Ranjit Oil Mills India's supply chain runs on two parallel tracks. On the Pongamia side, seed moves from farmer plantation partners to our own mill in Masur, Pune, with sourcing records kept at each stage. On the UCO side, used cooking oil moves from onboarded HORECA kitchens through scheduled collection, aggregation and quality checks before dispatch.
Both tracks converge on the same principle: documentation is built in from the first transaction, whether that's a farmer selling seed or a restaurant handing over a drum of used oil, rather than assembled retroactively once a buyer asks for it.
Why choose us
What makes our supply chain auditable
A credible SAF Feedstock Supply Chain India needs structure buyers can actually verify, not just describe.
Two Documented Origins

Centralised Processing
Both feedstock streams pass through our own facility for quality checks and storage.
Batch-Level Records
Sourcing and handling documentation is tied to specific batches, not blended averages.
Buyer-Facing Transparency
Documentation can be shared to support buyer-side compliance and certification needs.
Mapping the chain
Our supply chain, stage by stage
Each stage generates records that carry forward to the next.
Origin Sourcing
Pongamia seed from plantation farmers; UCO from onboarded HORECA kitchens.
Collection Logistics
Seasonal seed pickup and scheduled kitchen collection routes.
Aggregation
Volumes are consolidated at controlled points before processing.
Processing
Seed is pressed into oil; UCO is screened and stored at our facility.
Documentation Compilation
Batch-level sourcing and handling records are finalised.
Dispatch & Reporting
Feedstock is dispatched with documentation available for buyer review.
Why supply chain structure matters more than volume alone
Traceability as a competitive advantage
Feedstock volume is necessary but not sufficient for SAF buyers; certification schemes and increasingly aviation regulators require documented proof of sustainable, traceable sourcing. A SAF Feedstock Supply Chain India business that cannot produce that proof, however large its volumes, is of limited use to a compliance-conscious buyer.
This is why we have structured our operation around documentation from the outset rather than treating it as an add-on. As SAF demand grows and certification requirements likely tighten further, we expect this approach to become more valuable, not less, to the buyers we work with.
