Pune-based cleantech startup NovorbisItus has secured ₹13.35 crore in seed funding led by Rainmatter. The company develops retrofit emission control devices for diesel generators to meet CPCB IV+ norms and a specialized air purification system for crematoriums to reduce particulate matter. The funding will support the scaling of current deployments and the development of new technologies for boilers, steel plants, and on-site carbon capture. This investment targets high-pollution sources that are often overlooked by global climate solutions.

Retrofitting diesel generators is a practical move. Most businesses won't scrap working hardware if a bolt-on filter works. I wonder what the actual maintenance cycle is for that electrostatic system. If it requires constant cleaning, the adoption rate will tank.

Exactly. The real question is why we are still relying on DG sets for backup in the first place. Better grid stability or BESS would solve the root cause. Does the company have a plan to transition these clients toward storage?

The mention of CPCB IV+ norms is the key driver here. Regulation is the only reason these retrofits become a priority for industry. Without strict enforcement, the cost of the device usually outweighs the incentive to install it.

Interesting focus on crematoriums. That is a very specific local pollution source that usually gets ignored in global climate talks. Good to see a startup tackling the niche stuff.
