Mukka Proteins Limited has reached a major milestone in its sustainability journey with the formal listing of its Black Soldier Fly (BSF) project on the Verra Registry. The company's 300 TPD wet-waste processing operations in Bengaluru have been registered under Project ID 5893, marking significant progress toward carbon credit generation. Verra Registry Listing and Validation Process The BSF-driven municipal wet-waste processing initiative, currently operational under the company's empanelment with Bengaluru Solid Waste Management Limited, has entered the mandatory 30-day public comment period following its Verra listing. This represents the next formal step in Verra's carbon credit registration workflow. Project Parameter: Details Project ID: 5893 Current Capacity: 300 TPD Methodology: ACM0022 Program: Verra Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Status: Public comment period (30 days) Following the public comment period, an accredited validation and verification body will conduct on-site assessment and prepare the final validation report to complete the VCS registration cycle. VCU eligibility currently applies specifically to the 300 TPD operational BSF facility, with performance monitoring and validation activities underway. Capacity Expansion Approval Mukka Proteins has received incremental approval to expand its processing capacity significantly within Bengaluru's integrated waste-management framework. The expansion represents a substantial increase from the previously announced 200-300 TPD capacity. Capacity Details: Current Approved Expansion Processing Capacity: 300 TPD Up to 1,000 TPD Initial Approval: August 2025 January 2026 Structure: Single phase Grouped project The project is structured as a grouped project under the VCS program, enabling phased inclusion of additional processing modules. As each phase of the expanded capacity becomes operational and validated, additional carbon credits will be generated and registered according to Verra's validation and verification requirements. Strategic Impact and Future Potential The phased structure ensures that while current 300 TPD operations advance toward carbon credit issuance, future capacity additions up to 1,000 TPD will support progressively larger VCU generation. This approach strengthens long-term sustainability and revenue-diversification potential for the company. Mr. Kalandan Mohammed Haris, CEO & MD, commented on the development: "The listing of our Bengaluru BSF project on the Verra Registry marks a key advancement in our carbon credit roadmap. While carbon certification is underway for the ongoing 300 TPD operations, our newly approved pathway to scale up to 1,000 TPD positions us to expand this platform significantly over the coming phases."
