A report released by Deloitte and ISMA outlines India's potential in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production, emphasizing its necessity for the aviation sector's decarbonization. With the aviation industry poised for significant growth, the demand for SAF is expected to rise, aided by proposed blending mandates.

The report highlights India's robust sugar industry as a key player in SAF production, capable of meeting over half of the nation's demand by 2040. It calls for a coherent policy framework to unlock this potential, recommending mandatory blending targets and financial support to boost early-stage projects.
