Why Sell Through TheBioLink

Built for the seller, not just the buyer

💰

Fast, fair payment

Early or advance payment against confirmed orders — not the 30–90+ day cycles of informal brokers.

📱

No app barrier

WhatsApp/SMS-first. Live price visibility in plain language. If you can send a message, you can trade.

🚛

Logistics handled

Pickup, storage, and transport coordinated across partner CHCs, warehouses, and transporters.

📈

A buyer that must buy

Co-firing is a legal mandate for power plants — demand backed by enforcement, not goodwill.

🌾 India burns 92–100 million tonnes of surplus crop residue every year — value going up in smoke. At current pellet-linked prices, that residue is worth real income to the people who grow it.

Questions

Supplier FAQ

Do I need a smartphone or an app?

No. Onboarding and daily trading work over WhatsApp and SMS. A basic phone is enough.

Do I need land ownership documents?

No formal land title is required to register as a supplier at the MVP stage. Simple KYC applies.

When do I get paid?

Payment is released against confirmed purchase orders — early or in advance — rather than after 30–90+ day settlement cycles common with informal brokers.

Who picks up the biomass?

TheBioLink coordinates pickup, storage, and transport through partner infrastructure (CHCs, warehouses, transporters). You don't need your own trucks.

What prices can I expect?

Prices track the pellet market band (₹7,500–10,500/tonne at plant gate, quality-dependent) and are shown transparently before you commit. Farm-gate prices depend on grade, moisture, and distance.

Where is TheBioLink live?

We're launching district-by-district in Maharashtra first, then expanding state-by-state (Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, UP).
