India announces committee for SAF
In India, NDTV Profit reported that the Indian government is mulling the formation of a special committee to promote the use of sustainable aviation fuel. Known as the National Council on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (NC-SAF), it is intended to ensure the implementation of SAF Policy.
The NC-SAF will be co-chaired by Civil Aviation & Petroleum Secretary. It will have members from the DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) as well as the Ministry of Agriculture, Environment, Finance and Consumer Affairs, according to the report.
This development comes after the government proposed mandatory blending of sustainable aviation fuel for international flights from January 2027. The requirement is reportedly set to increase in phases to 20% by 2040. The Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) has circulated the ‘Draft SAF Policy, 2026’, which proposes an initial blending mandate of 1% for international flights, the report added.
