Indian Potash Limited (IPL) and Jain Irrigation Systems Limited (JISL) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to collaborate on promoting scientific, sustainable, and technology-driven sugarcane cultivation across Gujarat.The partnership will focus on the survey, design, supply, and installation of drip irrigation systems, along with capacity building, farmer training, and field demonstrations to encourage the adoption of modern sugarcane farming practices, IPL said in a statement Friday.Under the MoU, both IPL and JISL have agreed to jointly work to promote efficient irrigation and fertigation technologies for sustainable sugarcane cultivation, demonstrate modern irrigation solutions, precision input management, and improved agronomic practices.Both companies will also jointly organise farmer awareness programmes, workshops, and field demonstrations to build knowledge and confidence among growers, which will help in enhancing sugarcane productivity and improving water-use efficiency.IPL and JISL will facilitate access to credit and grant support for eligible farmers to adopt Micro Irrigation Systems, leading to higher yields, improved crop quality, and increased farm income, the statement said.Since JISL is a leading technology provider in drip and other micro irrigation systems and IPL has also several sugar mills in Uttar Pradesh, Guajrat and Odisha, the collaboration reflects the shared commitment of both companies to empower sugarcane farmers with innovative technologies and practical solutions that enhance productivity while conserving precious water resources, thereby supporting sustainable agricultural development in Gujarat.“This partnership aims to accelerate the adoption of drip irrigation in sugarcane, improving water-use efficiency, enhancing crop productivity, reducing cultivation costs, increasing farmers’ incomes, and promoting sustainable growth of India’s sugar and biofuel sectors,” said Girdhar Loh, State Head of JISL in Gujarat.Published on July 10, 2026
