IOCL, Akasa Air ka 'Green Skies' Mission: SAF ki partnership, par cost banegi challenge?
Overview

Bhai log, Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL) aur Akasa Air ne ek deal sign ki hai for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Yeh India ke aviation sector ko 'green' banane ki taraf ek important step hai, jahan dono companies milkar SAF banane ke tarike explore karengi.

India ki Aviation ho rahi hai Green!

Dekho, ab IOCL aur Akasa Air saath aa gaye hain Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) ko lekar. Unhone ek Letter of Intent (LOI) sign kiya hai, matlab ki explore karenge ki kaise SAF supply chain banayi jaye. Yeh sab hua hai Wings India 2026 event mein. IOCL, jiska market cap lagbhag ₹2.30 lakh crore hai aur stock ₹163.09 ke aas-paas chal raha hai (Jan 2026 tak), yeh step USke Panipat Refinery mein SAF banane ki ISCC CORSIA certification ke baad aur bhi special ho jata hai. Akasa Air ke liye yeh apne environmental goals ko achieve karne mein madad karega.

SAF ka Future India mein Kaisa Hai?

Yeh partnership sirf ek announcement nahi, balki India ke aviation ko sustainable banane ke bade plan ka hissa hai. India ka target hai ki 2027 tak international flights mein 1% SAF blend ho aur 2030 tak yeh 5% ho jaye. IOCL isme supply chain banane aur apni production capabilities use karne par focus kar raha hai. Dusri taraf, Praj Industries jaisi companies ne bhi Ethanol-to-Jet (EtJ) technology dikhayi hai. Air India bhi IOCL ke saath SAF supply ke liye MoUs kar chuki hai. Lekin, yeh sab karne ke liye bohot bada investment chahiye, lagbhag ₹6–7 lakh crore FY40 tak, aur India saal mein 8-10 million tonnes SAF produce kar sakta hai.

Sabse Badi Tension: Paisa aur Cost

Asal game changer yahi hai ki SAF kitna sasta hoga. Sustainable Aviation Fuel abhi conventional jet fuel se bohot mehnga hai. Iska reason hai feedstock ka cost aur production process. Agar IOCL aur Akasa Air ne milkar cost-effective supply chain nahi banayi, toh yeh partnership sirf ek exploratory deal hi reh jayegi. Analysts IOCL par positive hain, target price ₹173.16 ke aas-paas hai, lekin company ko pehle bhi revenue aur capacity utilization mein challenges face karne pade hain. SAF ko mainstream banane ke liye, iska price difference kam karna hoga, jisme government support aur clear policies ka hona bahut zaroori hai.
