Hyderabad has become the home of a groundbreaking achievement in Indian aquaculture as the startup SmartGreen Aquaculture has set up Indias first inland trout farming project. The facility, located in Ranga Reddy district, demonstrates that cold water fish can now be farmed successfully in landlocked regions using advanced technology.
The project uses a recirculating aquaculture system which allows precise control of temperature oxygen and water quality throughout the year. This innovation makes it possible to farm rainbow trout in a region that was previously unsuitable for such species. The farm has a production capacity of approximately 1200 metric tonnes annually and includes a hatchery grow out systems processing facilities and a direct to consumer online platform.
This initiative not only opens up new possibilities for sustainable aquaculture in India but also aims to reduce dependence on imports and strengthen the domestic supply of premium trout. The facility includes a research and training center to educate professionals and young farmers on modern aquaculture practices.
The launch has received support from government officials highlighting the importance of technology driven solutions for the Blue Revolution. SmartGreen Aquaculture has set a new standard for Indian fisheries combining innovation sustainability and economic growth while creating employment opportunities and promoting advanced skill development.
