DelhiDesk India will require around 14 crore liters of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) per annum to achieve 1% blending in jet fuel by 2025, according to Union minister for petroleum and natural gas Hardeep Singh Puri. He emphasized the importance of India’s vision to become energy self-reliant by 2047, aligning with the mandate set by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The government is considering issuing a directive mandating airlines to use blended SAF by 2025.

👉 Puri reiterated Prime Minister Modi’s vision of an Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) and emphasized the development of indigenous solutions to mitigate the environmental impact of aviation and pave the way for the widespread adoption of SAF throughout the country.
👉 SAF is derived from renewable sources such as agricultural waste, municipal solid waste, and forestry residues, and has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional jet fuel.
👉 India possesses the feedstock potential to produce 19 to 24 million tonnes of SAF per year, with the estimated maximum SAF requirement projected to be around 8 to 10 million tons per year by 2030.
👉 The utilization of indigenous biological feedstock like sugarcane molasses would not only boost the rural economy but also provide additional income to farmers.
👉 The blending of 1% SAF alone would benefit over 500,000 farmers by creating a demand for their sugarcane supply and has the potential to generate over 100,000 green jobs.
👉 Puri expressed confidence that this step towards self-reliance could transform India into an international hub for sustainable aviation fuel.
