CLEAN SEED AND MAHINDRA CELEBRATE FULL-SCALE MANUFACTURING AND GLOBAL EXPORT OF THE SMART SEEDER MINI-MAX

Clean Seed Capital Group Ltd. has reached a major milestone in its global commercialization journey: the celebration of active, full-scale manufacturing of the Smart seeder Mini-Max at Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd.'s Pithampur facility in India.

This event marked the realization of Clean Seed's scalable technology in full production through its strategic manufacturing partnership with Mahindra, the world's largest tractor manufacturer by volume. Executives from both companies gathered for a ribbon cutting ceremony to honour a long-standing, committed partnership delivering machines out of its production facility, with Mini-Max units being prepared for shipment to Mexico and Brazil. The first orders for Canada have been shipped and will arrive in the coming weeks.

From vision to reality: a week of strategic engagement

Clean Seed's executive delegation spent the week in India advancing the collaboration with Mahindra and government stakeholders.

At Mahindra headquarters in Mumbai, the team met with senior leadership, including Jaydeep Desai, head of strategy and business development, farm machinery, to review production progress, export logistics and strategies to support the finalization of India's government subsidy program for advanced sustainable agricultural technologies, where Clean Seed's technology has proudly established a whole new category for the country and its vision for the future of the sector.

Discussions with Anusha Kothandaraman, vice-president and business head, farm machinery, took place in concert with high-level government round tables attended by Indian and Canadian officials, reflecting a shared commitment to sustainable agricultural innovation and bilateral collaboration.

The trip culminated with a ribbon cutting ceremony at Mahindra's Pithampur facility, where the Smart seeder Mini-Max production line was in full operation. The factory floor showcased completed machines, quality control testing and export packaging protocols.

Behind this success stands a loyal and capable team of Mahindra project leaders, engineers and operations staff whose professionalism and passion for the project continue to drive the Clean Seed-Mahindra partnership forward.

First-class partnership in motion

Ms. Kothandaraman said: "At Mahindra, we are proud to partner with Clean Seed to bring a sustainable mechanized solution to farmers. This patented technology, coupled with Mahindra's world-class manufacturing ecosystem, will positively impact both farmers and the environment. This collaboration reflects Clean Seed's continued trust in Mahindra's world-class manufacturing capabilities and our shared commitment to delivering advanced farm machinery to customers across the globe. The partnership is yet another example of Indian manufacturing excellence making its mark on the global stage."

Graeme Lempriere, chairman and chief executive officer of Clean Seed Capital Group, added: "Seeing our Smart seeder Mini-Max in production on Mahindra's floor was a proud moment for all involved, physical proof of years of innovation, collaboration and belief in our vision to deliver sustainable agricultural seeding and planting solutions around the world. I was personally very impressed with Mahindra's scale and production capabilities and struck by the conviction and passion the team on the ground has brought to this project.

"I'm deeply grateful to both the Clean Seed and Mahindra teams whose hard work and commitment made this partnership a success. Their dedication and professionalism reflect exactly what this collaboration stands for: innovation, trust and sustainability working together at scale."

Mr. Desai remarked: "The Mini-Max seeder is an innovative no-till, multicrop seed drill designed to sow a wide variety of grains such as rice, wheat, soy, maize and cotton. With its patented technology, it reduces fertilizer inputs and seed waste, significantly improving farm profitability. Its zero-till functionality allows seeding directly into tough paddy residue, eliminating the need for stubble burning. With the capability to perform direct seeding of rice, the machine ensures substantial water savings and a reduction in greenhouse gases typically associated with traditional paddy transplanting. As a trailed machine, it can be easily operated by a 45 HP tractor, eliminating the need for a higher-horsepower model. With these advantages, the Mini-Max seeder provides farmers with an ideal solution for higher profitability and a cleaner, more sustainable environment."

Noel Lempriere, vice-president of marketing and business development for Clean Seed, stated: "This milestone underscores the strength of our partnership with Mahindra and the execution of our capital-light global strategy. Together, we are transforming innovation into scale -- delivering proven, sustainable technology to farmers in new markets. I want to thank the Mahindra leadership and project teams for their professionalism and commitment in bringing this collaboration to life. With production active and shipments now moving to Mexico, Brazil and, soon, Canada, the Mini-Max is a clear example of our shared mission to advance the future of sustainable farming worldwide."

Advancing a shared vision of sustainability

Together, Clean Seed and Mahindra are advancing a shared vision of sustainability, delivering technologies that reduce input dependency, promote regenerative soil practices and increase crop production, strengthening the resilience of global food systems. This partnership reflects a joint commitment to progress, combining Canadian innovation with Indian manufacturing excellence.

Strengthening bilateral collaboration

Clean Seed's partnership with Mahindra exemplifies the growing collaboration between Canada and India in sustainable technology and advanced manufacturing. As both nations expand their co-operation in innovation and agritechnology under the Indo-Pacific strategy, this partnership demonstrates the potential of combining Canadian agricultural innovation with India's world-class manufacturing ecosystem to deliver meaningful impact for farmers worldwide.
