Air India and Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) on Tuesday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the supply of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), marking what both companies described as a major step towards greener air travel in India.

The MoU, signed in the presence of Indian Oil chairman AS Sahney and Air India Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Managing Director Campbell Wilson, is aimed at promoting low-carbon fuels in aviation, supporting global decarbonisation goals, and advancing India’s transition towards sustainable air transport, the airline said.

Sahney stated that the agreement with Air India represented “a strategic step in India’s transition to sustainable aviation.” He added: “With our ISCC-CORSIA-certified SAF from Panipat, IndianOil 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.”
