Apex national body · Section 8 · Est. 2026
One bamboo movement,
one trusted mark
The Bambootech Federation of India unites the country’s growers, artisans, enterprises and institutions — setting standards, opening markets, and turning bamboo into income, jobs and a greener economy.
About the Federation
The national platform for India's bamboo sector
An apex, not-for-profit body bringing the whole bamboo movement under one credible, non-political voice.
The Bambootech Federation of India is a Section 8 company that unites NGOs, farmer producer organisations, co-operatives, self-help groups, MSMEs, industries, entrepreneurs, exporters, growers, artisans, weavers, designers, technologists and researchers engaged in any activity related to bamboo.
It is built to act as the recognised industry counterpart, knowledge partner and implementing partner of Government — working alongside the National Bamboo Mission, State Bamboo Missions and allied ministries to convert India's vast bamboo resource into income, jobs, exports, climate benefit and dignified rural livelihoods.
As a not-for-profit, its income is applied solely to its objects and is never distributed to members. Success is measured in sectoral impact, not profit.
What we do

Representing the sector before Government and regulators; clearing barriers to bamboo movement, taxation and trade.
Standards & BFI Mark
Accredited testing and certification for quality, performance, provenance and sustainability.
Technology & machinery
Evaluating, empanelling and enabling access to machinery across every stage of bamboo work.
R&D & innovation
Research on species, processing, durability, structure and carbon; IP held in trust for the sector.
Skill & capacity
Training and accreditation aligned to NSDC, Sector Skill Councils, NCVET, PMKVY and DDU-GKY.
Markets & branding
Branding, GeM and ONDC onboarding, buyer-seller meets and export facilitation for members.
Finance & schemes
Connecting members to NBM, MSME schemes, the Maharashtra Bamboo Policy, credit and guarantees.
Climate & livelihoods
Carbon aggregation and MRV; livelihoods for tribal communities, women's SHGs and rural artisans.
Certification
The BFI Mark
A quality, sustainability and provenance label that lifts buyer trust and price realisation — granted independently, on accredited testing.
Value-chain coverage
From plantation to product
Like a bamboo culm, the chain grows in segments — the Federation supports every node.
Strategic alignment
Riding a national policy wave
The Federation sits at the centre of India's fast-expanding bamboo policy push.
