India’s readiness to produce and scale sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is assessed at slightly above half, with one Boeing-led report giving the country an overall readiness score of 52% based on conditions around mid-2026. The assessment is presented as a measure of domestic readiness rather than a forecast of immediate production volumes.
The same reporting describes the evaluation as joint work involving Boeing and RSB. It frames India’s near-to-medium-term opportunity as tied not only to potential SAF production capacity, but also to how quickly the broader “enabling ecosystem” develops in parallel. The focus is on coordination across multiple inputs needed for adoption and expansion, implying that progress depends on systems beyond refining or feedstock alone.
Across the outlets, the central points are consistent: India’s SAF readiness is reported to be above the 50% threshold, the scoring is anchored to mid-2026 conditions, and the analysis emphasizes that scaling SAF requires ecosystem-wide development alongside production capability.
