About VMF

India's next resource cycle will be decided by how fast it can look underground.

We are here to shorten that timeline.

A technology partner to the people who take the drilling decision.

We do not replace geology. We give your geologists more to work with before the capital is committed.

Our story

Why this exists.

VMF Technology India brings direct satellite detection to Indian licence holders — reading the spectral signature of an element itself rather than inferring the structures that might contain it, and returning a concentration map and a depth model across an entire block in two to three months.

The company sits inside Swati Energy & Projects, part of the SPM Group, which has worked across power, oil and gas, energy and heavy engineering since 1967. That matters in this market: satellite detection is new, the buyers are not, and the group has spent decades earning the right to a meeting with them.

Mission

To put evidence in front of an exploration decision before the money is committed to the ground.

Vision

Exploration in India that starts with knowing what is underground.
