verified impact

400 million litres of annual recharge to be sustained for 10 years — enough to meet the one-day water requirement of over 7 million people.

Cumulative impact

4 billion litres of groundwater replenishment across a basin supporting 40 million people. Construction to be completed in July 2026.

verified impact

375,000 mangroves restored along India’s western coastline. 150 tons of plastic were intercepted along the Central Asian Flyway, one of the world’s most important migratory corridors. A coastal system restored—protecting habitats, rebuilding blue carbon sinks, and supporting fishing livelihoods. Project to be completed September 2027.

Phase 2

Being scoped. Potential scale: 20,000 ha of mangrove restoration and agroforestry across India's coastline. Biochar pathway under consideration for invasive species removal, including Prosopis juliflora, converting a coastal threat into a carbon-sequestering asset. Capital requirement to be determined on completion of scoping.

What This Solves

Bengaluru’s groundwater crisis is man-made and solvable. A first-of-its-kind network aggregating 160,000 m3 treated wastewater to near potable standards from apartment STPs to replenish urban water bodies, designed, technically verified, and ready for capital.

What This Solves

Uttarakhand’s forests face twin threats — degradation and devastating pine needle fires. Xylo is designing an integrated landscape program that turns a seasonal hazard into a carbon-sequestering asset, restoring native forests while creating sustainable livelihoods for mountain communities.

early proof

This landscape is not new to us. Through earlier community reforestation work, we have already planted over 25,000 native trees across Uttarakhand, building the community trust and implementation knowledge that landscape-scale design requires. We are now bringing that foundation into a more integrated, investable program.

status

Scoping underway. An initial design grant will accelerate deployment to a deep, existing implementation network in the region.

What This Solves

Over 74% of farmland across Gujarat’s twelve tribal districts is rainfed, leaving agriculture dependent on increasingly unreliable monsoons. Diesel pump costs absorb 35–45% of net farm income before inputs, reinforcing a cycle of crop failure, debt, migration, and land dispossession. DLSS intervenes with solar-powered drip irrigation, strengthening farm incomes and reducing distress migration among tribal smallholders.

Early Proof

Piloted by VIKAS CFD and SAVE across 25 units in Banaskantha over two crop cycles, the system halved water use to 3,500-5,500 litres per acre, eliminated energy costs through solar power, and increased cropping intensity from one kharif season to 2.5 annually. These gains more than doubled net farm income, with projections up to $3,012 by year five.

Status

A "Gold Standard" pilot that has resolved the energy-water-income nexus is currently positioned as the blueprint for wider geographic expansion.
