New Delhi/Odisha: Numaligarh Refinery Limited (NRL) has unveiled plans to set up a 200 Kilo-Tonne Per Annum (KTPA) Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) plant in Odisha, marking a decisive step toward achieving its Net Zero Carbon target by 2040.

Currently in the Detailed Project Report (DPR) stage, the proposed SAF facility reflects NRL’s long-term commitment to cleaner fuels and energy transition. The plant will be located strategically along Odisha’s coastal belt, offering potential logistics and export advantages, while initial production is expected to cater to robust domestic demand.

Aligning with Global Decarbonization Goals

The initiative underscores India’s growing push toward decarbonizing aviation, a sector under increasing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint. SAF, produced from renewable feedstocks, can reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional jet fuel.

With this move, NRL joins a select group of Indian energy companies investing in next-generation biofuels, positioning itself as a key player in the green fuel ecosystem.

Highlights

  • Plant Capacity: 200 KTPA
  • Location: Coastal Odisha (exact site TBD)
  • Status: DPR Phase
  • Objective: Support Net Zero by 2040 and reduce aviation sector emissions
  • Export Potential: High, but initial focus on domestic supply
