Ajeet Seeds has played a significant role in producing and supplying quality hybrid seeds to farmers at affordable prices. Ajeet-11, a cotton hybrid introduced in 1992, is known for its seed quality and tolerance to both biotic and abiotic stresses. Ajeet-11 was followed by Ajeet-33, which offered distinguishing differences and attributes. Continued research led to the development of many hybrids in crops such as Jowar, Bajra, Maize, Sunflower, and Vegetables. The hybrid Bhendi Ajeet-311 was launched in 2002, followed by hybrids of Chilies, Brinjal, Tomato, Bottle Gourd, Bitter Gourd, and more.

Ajeet Seeds is the first private seed company to introduce a proprietary variety of wheat, Ajeet-102. Our progress continues to be robust and dynamic. Today, our product portfolio covers 22 crops and 55 different hybrid varieties.

Understanding the pivotal role of biotechnology in the seed industry, Ajeet Seeds established a dedicated research division—the Plant Biotechnology Research Center (PBRC)—in 2003, located in Hanumantgaon, Taluka Gangapur. The PBRC has been recognized as a research center by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University.

The company has also established a State-of-the-Art laboratory, supported by a team of expert scientists, led by a veteran biotech expert. We are working on developing our own indigenous transgenic technology for crops, which will further accelerate our progress. Ajeet Seeds is committed to farm prosperity and is actively engaged in genetic research using crop biotechnology to improve the lives of Indian farmers. In line with this, we introduced three genetically modified Bt cotton hybrids in the Kharif season of 2006.
