India's aviation industry, experiencing rapid growth, faces significant environmental challenges due to its rising emissions. Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is highlighted as a crucial, long-term solution for balancing sector expansion with climate goals.

Balasaheb Darade, managing director of New Era Cleantech, advocates for policy support and technological innovation to make SAF more affordable. While SAF costs are currently high, Darade believes they could decrease over time, similar to the evolution of solar energy. The government’s commitment to SAF adoption underscores its potential to create economic opportunities while addressing environmental impacts.
