First India SAF Conclave and Awards 2025 – Global Leaders Unite to Shape the Future of Sustainable Aviation

Mr. Jimmy Olsson, President of the SAF Association, highlighted the socio-economic potential of SAF in India. “SAF is a natural fit for Make in India – it combines green energy goals with economic development, technological innovation, and job creation in rural parts of India. By investing in SAF, India can lead the global shift toward sustainable aviation while strengthening its domestic industry,” he said.

Mr. Shashank Chaudhary, Additional CEO of Invest UP, underlined the role of states in SAF development. “Uttar Pradesh government is projecting itself as the national hub for SAF production. We are promoting doubling the farmers’ income with our initiatives,” he stated.

Dr. Anita Gupta from the Department of Science and Technology stressed the importance of talent and innovation in building the SAF ecosystem. “There is greater need to empower the sustainable aviation fuel ecosystem. There are unique opportunities that India possesses as we have a huge talent pool,” she noted.

With over 750 million metric tonnes of biomass and 230 million metric tonnes of surplus agricultural residue annually, India stands uniquely positioned to meet its domestic SAF needs and emerge as a global exporter. As the world’s third-largest domestic aviation market, India’s clean fuel push aligns well with its feedstock availability, cost-effective production, and supportive policy environment.

Join us in September 2026 at New Delhi with the Second edition of India SAF Conclave and Awards 2026, as we advance our agenda for green aviation and fuel India’s ambition for Viksit Bharat.
