  In this paper we investigate the problem of ordinary baryonic matter
accretion onto the noncommutative geometry inspired Schwarzschild black hole.
The fundamental equations governing the spherically symmetric steady state
matter accretion are deduced. These equations are seen to be modified due to
the presence of noncommutativity. The matter accretion rate is computed and is
found to increase rapidly with the increase in strength of the noncommutative
parameter. The sonic radius reduces while the sound speed at the sonic point
increases with the increase in the strength of noncommutativity. The profile of
the thermal environment is finally investigated below the sonic radius and at
the event horizon and is found to be affected by noncommutativity.
