Following the Government of India’s recent indication that the country’s Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) mandate is moving towards implementation, the SAF Association (SAFA)—India’s leading not-for-profit industry body dedicated exclusively to advancing the Sustainable Aviation Fuel ecosystem—today announced the 2nd India SAF Conclave & Awards 2026, to be held on 28–29 September 2026 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. Coming at a defining moment for India’s aviation sector, the Conclave will serve as the country’s premier platform to bring together the complete SAF value chain and accelerate policy implementation, investment, technology deployment, capacity building and global collaboration, reinforcing India’s ambition to emerge as a leading global Sustainable Aviation Fuel hub.
Positioned as India’s largest Sustainable Aviation Fuel forum, the Conclave is expected to welcome more than 1,000 delegates, over 100 global speakers and 50+ international partners, including policymakers, ministries, airlines, airports, oil & gas companies, refiners, fuel producers, feedstock suppliers, EPC companies, OEMs, technology developers, investors, financial institutions, research organisations and international agencies. As India’s leading industry platform for Sustainable Aviation Fuel, the SAF Association is bringing together every critical stakeholder to strengthen policy dialogue, foster strategic partnerships, mobilise investment, promote technology collaboration and create a globally competitive SAF ecosystem for India.
The two-day programme will feature ministerial sessions, international technical conferences, knowledge-based workshops, implementation-focused masterclasses, closed-door leadership roundtables, strategic matchmaking, B2B and B2G meetings, an International Buyers & Investors Forum, technology showcase, exhibition, knowledge report launches, strategic MoU signings and the India SAF Awards 2026. Designed as an implementation-focused platform rather than a conventional conference, the Conclave offers stakeholders an unparalleled opportunity to engage directly with policymakers, forge strategic partnerships, connect with investors and project developers, showcase innovative technologies, participate in specialised workshops and closed-door roundtables, exchange global best practices and unlock new business opportunities in one of the world’s fastest-growing Sustainable Aviation Fuel markets.
Rohit Kumar, Secretary General, SAF Association, said:
“India stands at a defining moment in its Sustainable Aviation Fuel journey. As the country moves towards implementation of its SAF roadmap, collaboration across government, industry, technology providers, investors and global partners will be critical to accelerate commercial deployment. The 2nd India SAF Conclave & Awards 2026 has been created as India’s premier global platform to drive partnerships, investment, innovation and knowledge exchange while positioning India as one of the world’s leading destinations for Sustainable Aviation Fuel production, technology and investment. Together, we can power the SAF transition and shape India’s leadership in the global sustainable aviation ecosystem.”
The SAF Association (SAFA) is India’s leading not-for-profit industry body dedicated exclusively to advancing the Sustainable Aviation Fuel ecosystem through policy advocacy, industry collaboration, international partnerships, technology development, market development and capacity building, supporting India’s transition towards a globally competitive and low-carbon aviation sector.
