Traceability project for Telangana’s GI-tagged Tandur Red Gram awarded HYDERABAD Telangana Technology Services (TGTS) has issued a notification of award to TrayamBhu Tech Solutions (TRST01), a Hyderabad-headquartered company, for implementation of traceability of GI-tagged Tandur Red Gram for the Department of Agriculture. The project, under the NeGPA 2025-26 scheme, on the back of a digital traceability platform built by TRST01, will involve onboarding of about 65,000 Tandur Red Gram farmers in the designated area of Telangana. The initiative will provide farmers a unique digital identity, strengthen bargaining power and promote inclusion of women farmers in the agricultural ecosystem, the company said in a release recently. TRST01 will register each farmer with a digital profile linked to their land, crop and harvest. Consequently, the individual grower behind every lot of Tandur Red Gram will be recorded and recognised.
