India allows ethanol, synthetic blends in Aviation Turbine Fuel
India has allowed the blending of ethanol and other synthetic or man-made hydrocarbons in Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) but has not set any immediate mandatory blending targets.
The move follows amendments to the Aviation Turbine Fuel (Regulation of Marketing) Order, 2001, under the Essential Commodities Act, 1955, which broadened the definition of ATF to include blends with synthetic hydrocarbons, said a notification issued by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Ministry yesterday (22 April).
