Indian Oil Corporation (IndianOil) introduced India's first reference fuel in 2023. Reference fuels are highly specialized fuels that are used to calibrate and test vehicles. They are essential for ensuring the accuracy of emission measurements and the performance of vehicles. The main difference between 'reference' fuel and regular or premium fuel is their octane numbers. Regular fuel has an octane number of 87, premium fuel has an octane number of 91, while 'reference' fuel has an octane number of 97.
