As we head towards another year, we look back to reflect on the milestones and achievements that are shaping Oorja’s journey towards a sustainable, more equitable future. Join us in celebrating a year of growth, innovation, and creating impact among India’s smallholder farmers.
Oorja's innovative Pay-Per-Use business model has been successful in providing energy access to last-mile communities by eliminating the traditional barrier of upfront costs. This disruptive model has enabled us to reach the most economically challenged farmers and serve them with critical farming services like irrigation. Our solar project deployments and users have increased by 56% and 62%, respectively in the last one year. Oorja now has 119 operational solar assets spread across 6 districts of northern India. Our projects have cumulatively abated 1,801 tonnes of CO2e emissions. Oorja’s Pay-Per-Use irrigation, milling and cooling services are now reaching 27,000+ beneficiaries. 93% of our customers reported having higher incomes after using our services, and their lives have improved through convenience and effort reduction, timely irrigation and higher crop yield.
