Mukka Proteins Limited announced progress in its Black Soldier Fly (BSF)-based municipal wet waste processing program in Bengaluru, marking a key step in its carbon credit development strategy. The company stated that its BSF-driven 300 tonnes per day wet waste processing operations, currently running under its empanelment with Bengaluru Solid Waste Management Limited, have been listed on the Verra Registry under Project ID 5893.
With the listing completed, the project has now entered Verra’s mandatory 30-day public comment period, a required stage in the registration workflow under the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) program. After this step, an accredited validation and verification body is expected to conduct an on-site assessment and prepare a validation report as part of the final requirements for VCS registration. Mukka Proteins stated that monitoring and validation processes are underway for the current 300 TPD operational facility in line with Verra methodology ACM0022 and associated program requirements. The company said this is expected to support progression toward Verified Carbon Unit (VCU) issuance.
In addition to the registration milestone, Mukka Proteins announced that it has received incremental approval to expand processing capacity in Bengaluru up to 1,000 TPD within the city’s integrated waste management framework. The company said the project is structured as a grouped initiative under the VCS program, allowing future processing modules to be added in phases. As expanded capacity is brought into operation and validated, the company expects additional carbon credits to be generated and registered, strengthening the project’s long-term sustainability profile.
Kalandan Mohammed Haris, CEO and Managing Director of Mukka Proteins Limited, said the Verra registry listing is an important development for the company’s carbon credit roadmap. He added that while certification and validation work continues for the current 300 TPD operations, the new approval to scale up to 1,000 TPD creates the foundation for a significantly larger program in the coming phases. He stated that the progress reflects Mukka Proteins’ focus on circular economy solutions, climate-supportive waste processing and long-term value creation through sustainability-linked diversification.
Mukka Proteins Limited said it is among India’s leading manufacturers and exporters of fishmeal, fish oil and fish soluble paste, while also expanding into waste-to-value initiatives. The company has export operations across more than 25 countries and maintains diversified activities in India and the Middle East. Mukka Proteins stated it holds a 25–30% share of India’s fishmeal and fish oil market and operates installed processing capacity of 2,64,390 MT per year. The company was ranked 311th in the FT1000 High Growth Companies Asia Pacific 2025 list, reflecting continued growth and increasing global reach.
