In India, Business Standard reported that India has the potential to emerge as a net exporter of SAF amid global efforts to reduce carbon emissions from the aviation sector, according to a senior Boeing executive.
Speaking at the CII Annual Business Summit 2025 in New Delhi, Salil Gupte, President of Boeing India and South Asia, pointed to the abundant availability of feedstock, such as agricultural residue, which can be leveraged for SAF production.
Gupte observed that India’s modernizing aircraft fleet would aid decarbonization efforts and suggested the country could take a leading role in scaling up biofuel production for aviation, the report added.
India, with its wide range of feedstock — including used cooking oil and farm waste — has the capacity to produce 8–10 million tons annually, Gupte added.
