Indian Oil to upgrade Panipat diesel refinery for green jet fuel production

Indian Oil Corp plans to temporarily shut down its 300,000 barrels-per-day diesel desulphuriser unit at its Panipat refinery for an upgrade. This upgrade aims to produce 30,000 metric tons per year of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from used cooking oil (UCO). Indian Oil will also invite bids for a green hydrogen plant and a sustainable aviation fuel project.
