Description

“Our solution focuses on manufacturing and scalable distribution of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) to support BS6 emission compliance across transport, mining, and infrastructure sectors.

Currently producing 15 MT/month, we aim to scale to 300 MT/month to address the growing demand in Tier 2 and Tier 3 regions where supply gaps exist.

The solution includes:

High-quality DEF production aligned with BIS standards

Bulk and retail distribution network

Mobile tanker

Airclean Automotive Emissions Private Limited

Budget

“The pilot and initial deployment model is designed with asset-backed infrastructure to ensure reliable DEF supply across high-demand area.

Impact

“Our solution contributes to environmental, economic, and social impact. By ensuring reliable DEF supply, we help vehicles comply with BS6 emission norms, reducing harmful NOx emissions and improving air quality. At scale (300 MT/month), the solution will support thousands of commercial vehicles and mining operations, directly contributing to cleaner mobility. Additionally, it creates local employment in manufacturing, logistics, and distribution networks across Maharashtra. The model also reduces operational costs for fleet operators by providing consistent and affordable DEF supply, improving efficiency and compliance.”

Innovation

“Our solution is innovative in its integrated approach to DEF manufacturing and last-mile distribution in underserved Tier 2 and Tier 3 regions. Unlike traditional suppliers who focus only on bulk urban markets, we combine localized production, flexible packaging (retail + bulk), and mobile tanker delivery for mining and infrastructure clients. We are building a decentralized, scalable supply network that reduces logistics cost, ensures consistent quality aligned with BIS standards, and improves accessibility in regions where DEF availability is currently unreliable. This directly solves supply gaps, price inconsistency, and compliance challenges faced by fleet operators.”

Timeline

Pilots

“Pilot operations were executed under the founder’s proprietorship entity prior to incorporation of the Private Limited company. Pilot scale: ~15 MT/month Customers: Local transport operators, distributors, and small industrial users. Geography: Maharashtra (Pune, Ahmednagar, Latur, Beed regions) The Private Limited entity is being established to scale operations to 300 MT/month with improved compliance, infrastructure, and institutional partnerships.” https://in.docworkspace.com/d/sbCaeuxBIus0lZbE_6ncxqnkde7kpq78leb?sa=601.1074
