Leading Indian and international airlines, airports, energy companies, technology developers, investors and financial institutions are expected to participate, creating opportunities for investment, technology partnerships, project matchmaking and global market access, according to the release.

"India has the opportunity to become a global SAF hub, but this will require an ecosystem - not just a mandate. At SAF Association, our focus is to bring government, industry, technology, finance and global partners together to turn India's SAF ambition into projects, investment and production. The India SAF Conclave is a key platform in that journey," said Rohit Kumar, Secretary General, SAF Association and CMAI. SAF Association is organising the conclave.
