Government prepares draft sustainable aviation fuels policy; moots mandatory blending in ATF from 2027

The Indian government is preparing a draft policy on sustainable aviation fuels, which includes a plan to make the blending of indigenously manufactured sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) with Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) mandatory from 2027. This policy aims to reduce the country's reliance on imported fuels and promote the use of eco-friendly alternatives in the aviation sector. The move could have a positive impact on India's trade balance and the environment, but its implementation will depend on the availability of domestic SAF production capacity.

Why it matters

The government's draft policy on sustainable aviation fuels could increase demand for indigenous SAF manufacturers. This could lead to growth in the Indian aviation sector and create new opportunities for investors.
