A research experiment was conducted during rubi season 2016-17 at research farm of SV College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology, Raipur (C.G.). In this study, after chironji nut decortications obtain shells waste was used to produce briquettes.CIAE briquettes machine was used for production of uniform cylindrical shape briquettes. Physicochemical analysis of briquettes was done by standard methods. Results showed that the moisture content of briquettes varied from 10 to 12.75 percentage (wet basis), the length 5.5 to 6.5 cm, the diameter 1.8 to 2.2 cm, the density 0.65 to 0.68 g/cm3, water absorption capacity 3.40 to 3.59 percentage and resistance 97.65 to 99.36percentage, respectively.
