In 2006, DS Group embarked on a new frontier with its entry into the Agro-Forestry business. This strategic move involved acquiring waste, semi-arid, and fallow lands, transforming them into thriving plantations of medicinal and aromatic plants, all through the application of modern technology. The fruits of this endeavor primarily serve the company's in-house requirements, ensuring quality and sustainability. One remarkable achievement has been the successful regeneration of the endangered forest species, 'Sandalwood,' in the heart of Central India. DS Group proudly boasts the establishment of the largest Sandalwood plantation in India, setting a remarkable precedent for Agro-Forestry models in the country. Going beyond conventional boundaries, the group has pioneered the cultivation of horticultural crops in the non-conventional regions of Madhya Pradesh, showcasing their commitment to innovation and sustainability. Furthermore, DS Group places a strong emphasis on water harvesting and conservation, actively working to elevate the water table in the region and contribute to environmental preservation.
In 2015, DS Group embarked on yet another groundbreaking venture, venturing into the realm of Hydroponics. This revolutionary farming method leverages technology to cultivate crops with significantly reduced water usage and eliminates the need for soil entirely. Operating within a controlled and favorable environment provided by Green House technology, Hydroponics ensures high yields throughout the year. DS Group has harnessed this innovation to cultivate flowers like Jasmine and Rose for their own use, setting a standard for resource-efficient farming practices. The technology has also been employed for the cultivation of a diverse range of fruits and vegetables. Under the brand "Nature's Miracle," available at premium outlets, DS Group offers a select range of delicious and nutritious ready-to-eat fruits and vegetables, including Snack Cucumber, Cherry Tomatoes, Snack Pepper, and more, providing a natural and guilt-free snacking option. Notably, all produce is 100% natural and free from GMOs, guaranteeing the highest quality. These remarkable feats of farming are carried out in state-of-the-art greenhouses located in the National Capital Region, demonstrating DS Group's unwavering commitment to innovation, sustainability, and delivering the best to its consumers.
