India set to lead global green aviation transitionm FICCI–KPMG report says
In India, Business World reported that India holds a significant competitive advantage in developing and scaling SAF, according to a new report titled “Sustainable Skies: Positioning India as a Global SAF Hub”, jointly released by FICCI and KPMG.
The report sets out a strategic roadmap to position the country at the forefront of global SAF production, adoption, and exports.
The report underscores that India’s SAF opportunity is structural, not speculative, backed by a diverse and abundant feedstock basket.
The government of India has set progressive blending targets of 1% by 2027, 2% by 2028, and 5% by 2030, aligned with ICAO’s CORSIA mandate.
The report recommends the creation of a National SAF Mission to coordinate government agencies, airlines, oil marketing companies (OMCs), and fuel producers, ensuring alignment across policy, technology, and finance. It stresses the importance of long-term offtake agreements between airlines, OMCs and SAF producers to secure market certainty and enable capital investment, noting that guaranteed demand is essential to support project bankability.
