Powered by our own harvest
India’s agri-processing sector is among the country’s largest industrial energy consumers. We chose to change that at our own facility — with solar power and the husk from our own milling.
“By 2030, every tonne we process will run entirely on Renewable Energy.”

Solar-Powered Facility
“Our Goal is by 2030 Every tonne we process uses solar energy and biomass heat .”
Balaji Rice Industries operates India’s agri-processing sector is one of the largest consumers of industrial energy. We made a deliberate choice to change that at our own facility. Our on-site solar installation generates most of the electrical power required to run our milling, sorting, packaging, and operations — making us fully energy self-sufficient.
Our facility is running on solar power today — reducing our operating costs, reducing our exposure to grid outages, and delivering a measurable environmental benefit on every tonne of rice we process.
Rice husk biomass — a second energy loop
In addition to solar power, rice husk the outer shell removed during milling is processed through our biomass system. This closes a second energy and waste loop:
1. Paddy is milled at our Kharora facility and the outer husk is separated.
2.Rice husk is fed into our biomass boiler generating heat energy for processing operations.
3.This eliminates husk as industrial waste and reduces thermal energy costs.
4.Husk ash the combustion residue is returned to local farming communities as a silica-rich soil amendment.
5.Enriched soil grows better paddy, which returns to our mill the loop is complete.
Combined with our solar facility, this makes Balaji Rice Industries one of the most energy independent rice processors in central India.
Our commitment to farming communities
Balaji Rice Industries sources paddy through direct farmer relationships across Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh. Our direct procurement model means farmers receive transparent, market-linked pricing without intermediary deductions, with payments made promptly on verified lot acceptance. Husk ash returned from our facility improves soil fertility for next-season crops
