India Advances Carbon Emissions Reporting and Sustainable Aviation Fuel Targets
India's aviation sector is advancing sustainability efforts by preparing to mandate carbon emissions reporting for international flights, covering 90% of annual emissions, aligning with the global CORSIA framework. The government has set Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) blending targets of 1% by 2027, increasing to 5% by 2030 for international flights. Domestic SAF production is progressing with refinery readiness and private sector involvement, while discussions continue on whether India will produce SAF locally or rely on imports.
