MT / season total
The Chittapur cluster is our proof point. Every metric on this page is drawn from ongoing operations — no projections, no aspirational data.
Chittapur taluk in Kalaburagi district, Karnataka — Aarvi's flagship biomass operation. Four feedstock streams, one 60-km sourcing radius, established farmer relationships, and the operating discipline that makes downstream carbon-removal projects credible.
Annual, per-feedstock tonnage aggregated by Aarvi from the Chittapur sourcing region.
| Feedstock | Type | Primary season | Volume (MT / season) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tuvar (Redgram) stalk | Pulse residue | Feb – May | 25,000 |
| Cotton stalk | Fibre-crop residue | Feb – April | 13,000 |
| Juliflora | Woody biomass | Year-round | 5,000 |
| Soya husk | Oilseed residue | Nov – Jan | 5,000 |
| Total feedstock aggregated / season | 48,000 | ||
Volumes represent current-season aggregation from Aarvi's Chittapur operations. Additional cereal residues (jowar, sugarcane trash) are evaluated at cluster level and not included above.
The Chittapur playbook — cluster mapping, farmer aggregation, quality-controlled aggregation — is being replicated in two additional operational regions today, with a broader pipeline of development corridors under field evaluation.
Anchor operating cluster — 68,000 MT / season across cotton stalk, tuvar, juliflora and soya husk. 20+ villages, 60 km sourcing radius.
Operating region focused on cotton stalk and sugarcane residues. Established farmer network and industrial supply relationships.
Operating region for pulse and cereal residues, adjacent to major cement clusters — supporting industrial fuel supply.
Cluster mapping and feedstock validation in progress. Groundnut and cotton residues under primary evaluation.
Assessment of cotton, castor and groundnut residues, plus industrial biomass streams. Field diligence underway.
Soybean and pulse residue clusters under assessment. Downstream cement and power customer proximity identified.
Final project locations are selected only after field-level feedstock, logistics, land, utilities and (for biochar projects) carbon-methodology validation. Operating regions represent live Aarvi operations; development corridors represent pipeline under active evaluation.
This is the diligence framework that turned Chittapur into a repeatable playbook — and that we apply before adding any new cluster to the network.
Annual and monthly availability within an economically viable sourcing radius. No project without a documented biomass base.
Moisture, ash, contamination, particle size and (for biochar) carbon characteristics. Quality-controlled at aggregation.
Harvest calendar, storage requirement and year-round plant utilization — the difference between a working plant and a stranded asset.
Road access, collection radius, storage-yard availability and transport economics that make the fuel or biochar unit economics work.
Land availability, power, water, permissions, labour, and industrial-infrastructure proximity — the operating layer.
For biochar projects: traceability, additionality, emissions accounting, MRV feasibility and eligible end use for the biochar itself.
Every cluster is quantified on the same seven metrics — the data pack that goes to any technology, financing or carbon-market partner.
Volume under farmer or supplier contract, verified against aggregated intake at the biomass bank.
Batch-level quality logs used for both industrial fuel supply and biochar feedstock qualification.
Real logistics data — kilometres, cost per tonne, seasonal variability.
Days per year the plant can run on secured feedstock, factoring seasonality and storage.
For biochar projects: pyrolysis yield estimates based on feedstock and technology-partner specifications.
Carbon-removal potential per tonne of biochar, tied to the certified methodology.
Soil-amendment, agricultural, industrial and export offtake pathways — validated per cluster.
For qualified technology, carbon and financing partners, we share the underlying feedstock, farmer-network and logistics data on request.
