Indian Oil Corporation is set to begin sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production in December 2025 at its Panipat refinery with a planned annual capacity of 35,000 tonnes. The initiative is designed to support India’s international airline SAF blending targets by 2027, helping reduce the aviation sector’s carbon footprint. Notably, the project will use used cooking oil as a feedstock, aligning with global sustainability practices. Indian Oil has also secured ISCC CORSIA certification, ensuring compliance with international carbon reduction and sustainability standards. This development highlights India’s commitment to green energy and its role in advancing cleaner aviation fuels.
