India eyes to mandate use of 1% Sustainable Aviation Fuel by 2025: Oil Minister

The Hindu  

India plans to mandate the use of 1% of sustainable aviation fuel for domestic airlines by 2025, Oil Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said on May 19, in a bid to cut emissions from the sector. Unlike the United States and the European Union, India does not have policies governing sustainable aviation fuel yet. Mr. Puri said for jet fuel mixed with 1% SAF, about 140 million litres of biofuels are needed. The final mandate would require approval by the cabinet, Mr. Puri said at an event to receive the country's first local flight powered by biojet.
