Investor FAQ
Yes, cultivation of Pterocarpus santalinus on private patta farmland is permitted under the state agroforestry framework. Harvest, transit and sale of timber are regulated by the Forest Department, and exports fall under CITES Appendix II controls. Full compliance documentation is maintained per project.
With care. FEMA generally restricts NRIs and OCIs from directly purchasing agricultural land or plantation property in India. Compliant pathways exist depending on individual circumstances (for example inheritance, resident family structures, or specific approval routes), which is exactly why we run a dedicated NRI consultation before any NRI commitment. Do not proceed on assurances alone, take independent FEMA advice.

Use our Verify Before You Invest checklist: the venture register, plots sold per venture, registered sale-deed counts, survival reports, harvest reports, audited financials, payout records, land and survey records, independent valuations, and GST figures. Check company registration on MCA and land records on official AP portals.

Managed layouts typically plant around 100 red sandalwood plants per acre, giving each tree room to develop heartwood. Your exact count is specified in your plot documentation.
Harvest follows the Forest Department permission process in force at that time, after which timber is graded and sold, with buyback assistance where your agreement includes it. Timing and realised prices are variable and not guaranteed; the process and its risks are described openly on our risks page.
