Indian Oil, Air India Sign MoU For Sustainable Aviation Fuel

Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Air India for the supply of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), just days after becoming the first Indian company to secure ISCC CORSIA certification for SAF production at its Panipat refinery.
The MoU underscores a shared commitment to low-carbon fuel adoption, supporting global decarbonisation targets and accelerating India’s transition towards sustainable aviation.
“With our ISCC CORSIA-certified SAF from Panipat, Indian Oil is ready to provide a sustainable fuel solution that will help decarbonise air travel. Partnering with India’s flagship carrier, we are aligning national growth with global climate goals and setting a benchmark for the industry,” said IOC Chairman A.S. Sahney.
The agreement was signed by IOC ED-Aviation Shailesh Dhar and Air India’s Group Head for Governance, Regulatory, Compliance and Corporate Affairs P. Balaji, in the presence of Mr Sahney and Air India CEO Campbell Wilson.
Mr Wilson said: “Through this MoU with Indian Oil, Air India is committed to supporting the government’s initiatives to promote sustainable development in aviation and to further its own sustainability goals, including IATA’s Net Zero 2050 target.”
Indian Oil stated that the MoU would facilitate collaboration on SAF supply to meet and exceed CORSIA targets for international flights, ensuring a reliable, transparent and sustainable supply chain to achieve both companies’ environmental objectives.
The certification, a prerequisite for commercial SAF production, marks a major milestone in India’s capability to produce, certify and distribute SAF, strengthening the country’s role in global climate action.
