Mission Biofuels, a Mumbai-based biodiesel company is planning to build the India's first biodiesel plant in the eastern Indian state of Orissa with a capacity of 100,000 mt/year plant. The construction cost for the biodiesel plant is expected to be around $USD 75million which does not include the company's already access to 350,000 acres of jatropa farms across the country.
The construction will take two years to coincide with the maturity of its jatropha crops which are 40% planted in Orissa. Jathropa crops have made its way as a sustainable source for biodiesel fuels in the debate of carbon balance.
