India plans to introduce sustainable aviation fuel blending in international flights from 2027, starting at 1% and gradually raising the requirement to 40% by 2040.
India is preparing to introduce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in international flights, with mandatory blending proposed to begin in 2027. The move is part of the government's efforts to reduce aviation emissions and build domestic capacity to produce sustainable aviation fuel.
Under the draft National Policy on Sustainable Aviation Fuels circulated by the Ministry of Civil Aviation, airlines would initially be required to blend 1% SAF into conventional aviation fuel from 2027.
The proposed roadmap would gradually raise the blending requirement over the following years, taking it to as much as 40% by 2040, according to a PTI report.
