Sustainable fuel may cost 2-3 times more than normal jet fuel: Draft policy

India's draft Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) policy revealed that the fuel could cost 2–3 times more than conventional jet fuel. It proposed phased blending mandate starting at 1% in 2027, rising to 5% by 2030. Financial incentives including GST exemptions, tax holidays, and a ₹500 crore Innovation Seed Fund were also proposed to boost domestic SAF production.
