Doubling farmer profits,
sustainably.
We built the world's first tractor-powered Fertilizer Deep Placement technology. By burying urea in the root zone, it lifts crop yields by about 25% and doubles farmer profit, while cutting fertiliser use by 33 to 70%, all in a single pass.
Co-designed with IDEO.org · ICAR-certified · Field-audited by IIT Delhi
India spends ₹50,000 Cr on urea subsidy. 70% of it never reaches the plant.
Bury the briquette. Let the plant, not the atmosphere, eat the urea.
Instead of broadcasting prilled urea on the surface, our tractor-mounted applicator presses a compacted urea briquette 7-10 cm below the root zone, in a single mechanised pass. The plant draws a steady supply of nitrogen exactly when it needs it, so it grows far more grain from far less fertiliser.
Deep placement is one of the most researched fertiliser methods in the world: a decade of trials shows it raises paddy yields 15 to 30% while cutting urea use by a third or more. We are the first to mechanise it for India's smallholder farmers, in a single tractor pass.
Two crops. Two applicators. One technology.
DH Vriddhi
An automatic, seven-row Fertilizer Deep Placement applicator that deploys urea briquettes across an entire paddy field, cutting labour, time and effort to a fraction.
DH Samriddhi
The same engineering DNA, adapted for the row geometry, depth and dosage of sugarcane. A multi inter-row cultivator and FDP applicator with tilling and weeding capability.
Briquetting Machine
Converts standard prilled urea into compacted briquette form on-site, producing season-appropriate fertilizer briquettes for both applicators, with no dependence on external supply.
One season. One district. A blueprint for national scale.
Our flagship CSR pilot took the technology contiguous across an entire paddy belt, enrolled, trained, supported, and audited plot by plot.
Funded by a leading Japanese electronics & automotive manufacturer. Independently verified by the IIT Delhi Centre of Excellence on Environmental Studies.
More grain. Better grain. And soils that get richer, not poorer.
Every number below comes from independent, paired-plot weigh-ins, the same field side by side. They are in line with the 15 to 30% yield gains deep placement delivers worldwide.
Invest ₹2.80 lakh in one village. Here is what comes back, every single season.
One village set is a single FDP applicator plus a briquetting machine, covering 100 acres. These returns repeat season after season, for 7+ years.
25x more cost-effective than rooftop solar.
At just ₹134 per tonne of CO2 avoided, deep placement is the most cost-effective climate action a CSR rupee can buy. And the very same rupee also delivers yield, farmer income, water and healthier soil.
| Per tonne of CO2 avoided | DH Deep Placement | Tree plantation | Rooftop solar (1.5 kW) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost per tonne of CO2 | ₹134 | ₹300 | ₹3,425 |
| Lifetime CO2 offset | 1,120 MT / 7 yrs | 1 MT / 40 yrs | 44 MT / 20 yrs |
| Time to offset 1 MT | 2 hours | 40 years | 6 months |
| SROI (climate-only) | 1 : 10.5 | 1 : 4.7 | 1 : 0.4 |

Our DH Vriddhi 2.0 platform will fuse field-level data with satellite insight and AI-driven decisions, for centimetre-level precision across every pass.
Let's bury the briquette together.
Whether you're a CSR partner, a government programme, an FPO or an investor, there's a clear path to deploy this at scale. We'd love to hear from you.
