IIT Bombay is turning garden leaves into cooking fuel, churning out breakfast, lunch and dinner for 2,000 people, cutting LPG use by 60%!
India imports about 60% of its LPG, and most of that passes through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most volatile chokepoints. If that supply breaks, millions of kitchens go dark. So how is IIT Bombay’s Hostel 16 mess cooking lunch for 1,200 students with leaf pellets instead of gas cylinders?
Meet Infixen, an IIT Bombay-funded startup turning the 2 tonnes of garden waste cleared from campus every day into clean cooking fuel. The institute once spent ₹50 lakh a year just to haul this waste away. Now it feeds students and staff.
