It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant runs on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate backwoods with electrical power. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the ability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.
