Air India and Indian Oil sign SAF MOU

In India, Air India and Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the supply of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), marking a major step towards a greener future for Indian aviation. Under the MoU, Air India, a Tata Group company, and IOCL have outlined their shared commitment to promote the adoption of low-carbon fuels in aviation, support global decarbonization goals, and contribute to the transition towards more sustainable air transport operations.

This collaboration builds upon IndianOil’s recent milestone of becoming the first Indian company to receive ISCC CORSIA certification for SAF production at its Panipat Refinery. The certification, granted under ICAO’s Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), establishes IndianOil’s capability to produce SAF that meets the most stringent international sustainability and lifecycle carbon emission standards.
