Under the first phase of the program, the crops will be developed to produce high performing hybrid varieties of Jatropha, adapted to unique growing conditions across the country.
The additional phases of the program will include deployment of about 86,000 acres of Jatropha using SG Biofuel’s JMax hybrid seeds, which are developed at its crop development centers.
SG Biofuel, along with BREL, will select, test and scale the highest yielding, most commercially viable hybrid varieties for growing regions in India, including the initial 86,000-acre deployment.
