 Technology Profile

Title:

Electric Tiller
Value Proposition:

The electric tiller technology was designed and developed to address the small to medium scale farm operations such as tilling, weeding, water pumping, ridge making and material transportation. It provides an electric alternative to the conventional ICE powered (petrol/diesel) tillers. The indigenously developed electric tiller is a 100% pure electric power weeder for small to medium scale farm operations.
Summary Application:

The technology is alternative to conventional diesel engine operated systems, utilization of renewable energy sources, suitable for small and marginal farmer segment.
