These cannot be used in india. These are used as edibleoil feedstocks.Edibleoil is short supply in india. If Jatropha is used , still wasteland avialable is in small patches.Yield from Jatropha is about 0.5 Kg per plant. Further Oil yield is 25% from seeds.This may/will cause Jatropha as a feedstock unviable for the crude price below 100$ per barrel Dear sir:
